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.

River/Bridge Canal Lock Fortress [60x80]

Thumbnail

226 Upvotes

This map is... huge. 60x80, multilevel, with a lot of space for exploration and fight.

There is a classic castle. There is water (with many levels). There is a mystery, with ancient parts of the fortress at the right side of the canal...

And there's also a bit of nature.

All of this is served in three distinct light variants - bright day, picturesque golden hour and dark - but shining with plethora of light sources - night.

Mountain/Hills Giant Armor [40x62] - Kneel before the ones who stayed behind

Post image
91 Upvotes

Today we bring a new Battlemap. It's turn for a more dramatic story. An ancient, colossal armor on a crater, only supported by its giant sword and a broken promise. What wounded it and made it fall, we don't know. But why did it run out of reasons to stand? That's what intrigues us the most.

The moss has claimed it,
the roots share its silence,
and only the skies remember what happened.

Overgrown and silent, the ancient armor stays where it has always been. It has slowly turned into a place of pilgrimage and worship for fallen soldiers, whose swords are offered as gifts.
The scene seems frozen in time, but only the ones who live long enough are able to notice the grass and trees claiming it back as the blood slowly flows back to where it once belonged.

What if it is just waiting until it can fulfill the vow it died for? What if the giant armor stands and fights back again?

The Free HD version of this fantasy map can be downloaded on our Patreon, in this post. And if you like it and want to see more stuff like this, consider supporting us.

We hope you like it!

Fantasy - Dungeon Improved: Sacred Stone Monastery and Mines

85 Upvotes

REPOSTING, because I did not like the maps enough in the plain version. Added Supports to the Mines and added lighting to both maps.

"Abdiss, this is my kind of place. Stone above, stone below, stone on all sides. I was made for this place."

"Then I am glad we came here together, Goram. So which way are we going."

"Easy, Abdiss. Down. Always down."

"And if we meet another monster with copper claws and mandibles like oven shears?"

"This time we won't kill it. Just subdue it and I'll fashion a saddle for it."

"A saddle?"

"I loved playing hop the Umberhulk when I was wee lad..."

"I am learning so many new things since I am traveling with you, Goram."

The Sacred Stone Monastery and its mines is the entrance to the Temple of Black Earth, one of the bastions of the Cult of Elemental Evil. It houses many cultists, slaves and a few interesting monsters. It is a part of the "Princes of the Apocalypse" campaign but can be used for an stone fortress you can imagine it into.

The map of the monastery is intended for a map of 70x40 squares. The map of the mines for a map of 65x40 squares.

As always I share my maps for free on Reddit. If you wish to support me you can do so through my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/dmoaky/posts/sacred-stone-and-172634720?pr=true
For my loyal patrons I also offer:
- HD versions of all my maps
- VTT files

The assets I used stem from Forgotten Adventures (https://www.forgotten-adventures.net/)..) Please support them as well.

Hey everone!

I'll be back to posting map regularly next month (pirate campaign starting then!), but until then I might as well post some maps I haven't shared before from my scifi campaign that wrapped in September.

Perhaps you can find some use for a Field Test dynamic map? Boom goes the dynamite!

Abandoned Asylum + Orphanage (51x34 Multilevel / 5 levels)

Around these parts, it’s a common dare for youngsters to spend a night in the abandoned asylum, particularly to stay in the morgue in the basement or in the former orphanage towers right at the top of the bat-wing building.

Sometimes they come back with tales of bravado, of winds through broken windows and footsteps.

Sometimes they come back talking nonsense about hearing people laughing and rusty chains rattling in the many formerly padded cells, or babies crying high above.

Sometimes they come back and won’t talk at all.

And sometimes they just... don’t come back.

 


 

Here are the free day & night variants of this map. To support my work, you can buy me a coffee, or check out my Patreon, where you'll find hundreds more free maps as well as bonus variants for this one!

 


 

Here's all of my maps in one handy set of themed lists for convenience. This post is updated as each new map comes out, so that the list remains current.

 

Quick collection downloads:

 

I hope you can make use of the maps =) Any issues, please do let me know.

Much love

~SaC
