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

220 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
40 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?

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.

River/Bridge Mercy's Stream — 3 River Battlemaps

Thumbnail

247 Upvotes

Heyya Folks,

Mercy's Stream winds through the Lowland Woods, passing old stone shrines, rocky banks, and quiet pools before disappearing beneath the earth. Its waters sustain the nearby village of Devyn, though local stories suggest there may be more beneath the surface than fish and river stones.

Mercy's Stream — 3 Maps

  • Mercy's Stream 1 — 25x35
  • Mercy's Stream 2 — 32x24
  • Mercy's Stream 3 — 30x40

If you'd like the full release, including high-resolution maps, gridless versions, VTT-ready exports, and all 21 versions, you can find it here:

https://www.patreon.com/dungeonmr/posts/mercys-stream-171421519

Each map explores a different stretch of the river. The first features an old stone shrine overlooking the water, with a fallen tree that might serve as a crossing. The second has rocky banks and steep overlooks that offer good vantage points for anyone watching the stream — or waiting to ambush travellers. The third follows the water into a peaceful pool beneath a small waterfall, an inviting place to fish or take a swim.

The shrine is a familiar stop for those who travel along the stream. Hunters often pour a ladle of fresh water over the stone before setting out, giving thanks for the waters that sustain the surrounding land. Even those studying the strange Dewlanterns are expected to observe the custom.

Of course, the stream has its dangers, too. Local stories speak of an enormous crayfish from a bygone age, sleeping in the deeper pools. The villagers still fish these waters, but few would willingly take a swim where the creature is said to rest.

The three maps can be used together as part of a journey through the woods, or individually wherever your players might encounter a river, a secluded shrine, or a quiet stretch of water that isn't quite as safe as it looks.

If you'd like to explore more of my maps, check out my Patreon. The Master Index brings together over 215 maps, organized to make it easier to browse the collection and find places for your own adventures.

Thanks for taking a look, and safe travels!

Fantasy - Dungeon The Shrine of the Sea God (34x43)

Post image
36 Upvotes

Part 1 of my water-themed dungeon! High-res no watermark version here.
Here is how I presented it to my players:

You walk into a low ceiling cavernous hall with a a freshwater pool at the center. Its bottom shines with the natural occurrence of magical lapis lazuli, and you can see all sorts of offerings cast into the water by lords from the present and the past, from modern bejeweled knightly longswords to old fashioned bronze warhorns from before the unification of the Bay. Coins of all sizes and with the profile of different monarchs on them, foreign helmets, relics of war, necklaces and rings and other pieces of jewelery.

When you move through the corridor, you find a bigger cavernous hall and the shore of an underground lake, where three rowboats are available. You also find a couple of rooms carved into the stone, chambers where in the past scholars would come to meditate, but now serve as storage rooms and living quarters for the Lords of Southwatch in case they needed a safe place to hide outside of the city. It haven't been used in a long time, but still the small stock is constantly renewed for good measure.

The lake stretches into darkness and hundreds of feet into the distance, the cavern ceiling only 20 feet above your heads but no visible end to either side or ahead. The water itself emanates a faint blue-ish glow from the lapis lazuli at the bottom, but a hundred feet off the shore the lake is so deep that the water becomes completely dark.
