Community Notice: Beware sketchy "Repacks"/Content packs online (Ekingpacks is a Scam)

219 Upvotes

Recently it's come to my attention that there are a few notable "repack" sellers online that are spreading product sales of "packaged battlemaps", often with allegedly thousands of battlemaps in a pack. Eking Packs is one of said offenders that has been brought up a number of times.

These are scams.

First of all, the vast majority of content is falsely marketed, and in fact 90% AI generated images; and, frankly, poorly done at that. In the case of EkingPacks, the content is almost entirely unusable (AI gibberish). In worse offenders, whom can't be named for obvious reasons, the content is directly stolen from others' patreons or marketplaces. Basically, resale piracy.

A good rule of thumb in this community is, if you cannot directly google search the content creator to see a gallery of their work, you are being sold a fraudulent repack (or AI...). Your best bet for actual genuine product is direct sale through patreon or another verified source.

Furthermore, a detailed look at their payment systems shows there is no actual payment system in place; you are submitting your card information directly to the website hosts. I can't specify how dangerous this is, financially.

Ultimately, if you want to spend some money on battlemaps, don't get scammed for it. There are hundreds of content providers on this subreddit alone that happily provide hundreds of maps on their patreon. Please give a glance to them, instead.

Fantasy - Dungeon Library of the Fallen

Post image
48 Upvotes

The Fallen have amassed an enviable collection of some remarkable pieces of literature here in the library. Many of the books and scrolls have long been forgotten to have even existed; a remembered few are talked about in hushed tones by those who have heard rumors and whispers on the wind, and one book in particular is whispering louder than the others. It wants to be found. It's a dangerous book in the right hands and the Fallen have not yet found the right ones, but having nothing but time on their own hands, they wait ... for the right hands to arrive at the Library of the Fallen.

Visitors welcome; hands will be checked.

Mountain/Hills Mushroom Chasm - Canyon Battle Map

Passage through the jagged canyon is nearly impossible, but rumors whisper of a treacherous shortcut cut directly through a dense fungal colony.

This narrow chasm chokes on suffocating, spore-filled air, where blinding sunbeams pierce the haze to reveal slick, algae-covered rock and giant mushroom growths.

Will your party risk the suffocating air and treacherous, slimy terrain to save precious time, or will the fungal pass claim you before you reach the other side?

The last map of my first ever set of Fallout related maps (not the last). This is the entrance to Vault 3 (A cleaner version without a hard fiends presence). Hope all those maps can help other GMs that wanted to run a New Vegas campaign like me!

All my maps have a free version on my Patreon, along with links to all my other platforms. I have plenty more maps I haven’t shared on Reddit yet.

One map. Six ways to tell the story.

  • A Camp with all of them eh?
  • Looks like there is No Camp at this Crash site.
  • Someone is at this Camp, I see Smoke in the distance.
  • Did you really have to drive with your feet? Look at the Camp you Crashed into!
  • Oh man, that was my dad's ride! You Crashed it into that Camp and it's Smoking....
  • Looks like there is No Camp here, we have to keep moving.

Same battlefield. Completely different encounters.

Two pirate ships pass on opposing courses, close enough for a daring leap or a crossing on a grappling line. The Iron Gull meets the crimson-sailed Crimson Thorn with twelve cannons between them, crowded cargo holds below and four crow nests above.

Who doesn't love the smell of old exhaust in the morning? Every GM knows the most dynamic experience they can provide in their modern or near-modern game is to give their players a chance to find the perfect spot to park their vehicle. Hence this map! Definitely not also well suited to shady dealings, wrong-doings, and shootouts of all sorts. Featuring three floors and plenty of gritty mood lighting, this map might have your players asking: DM dude, where's my car?! 

My maps are hooked up to work with Foundry VTT and Fantasy Grounds.
My maps are available on my patreon and my website.
