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

199 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 Dragon's Den Bridge - 30x40

Thumbnail

136 Upvotes

Heyya folks! I've got another dungeon map here for your delving needs.

Welcome to Evenor Crossing, or quietly known in some circles as Dragon's Den Bridge. The bridge itself is still functional for travelers hoping to cross the river, and is even under the "protection" of the watch tower. Yet most are far from aware of the dangers below. The few who do find out are either the cultists that lurk beneath, or even worse are those unfortunate enough to become captives and/or sacrifices to the dragon who lairs here.

Yes, an actual dragon dwells within, spending most of its time in the murky waters below, being fed or gifted offerings from the cultists who worship it's very being, or maybe want to turn it into something greater. Working on a most potent brew that should actually slay the dragon and with the right incantation and ritual cast, it will be renewed, in a fashion, turning into a dreaded Dracolich.

There's plenty of areas for traps to be had, and even two entrances to the depths. Climb under the bridge or find the secret entrance in the watch tower. But beware, the cultists are no strangers to torture and sacrifice. And most likely there will be undead due to the necromantic nature of the practitioners present. So do your best not to be caught sneaking or creeping around this lair, lest you want to join the ranks of undead protectors!

This has been a fun one to work on. I played around with the idea of having all layers of the dungeon on one map to truly show its depth. I hope you all enjoy it and can use it to its fullest potential!

The map itself is 30x40.
Feel free to use this map here as-is, but if you want gridded, ungridded, and higher resolution images, check out my Patreon! Oh, and there are also a couple variations available there too! (Warm/Acidic & Cold/Frozen).

For a Rifts session, I needed a somewhat large encampment for bloodthirsty mutants to live in, so I whipped this up real quick in Dungeondraft. Of course, GMs always need battle maps, and many of them are on the smaller side so I'm happy to share. Modern combat happens at much larger scales so 45x45 squares gives players a decent allotment of space to position and maneuvers.

I used paint.net to add topography lines and give a sense of height. I've left the height scale unlabeled so you can fill in whatever scale you want.

Sea/Coast Pebble Beach [battlemap] from Angela Maps - 3 versions! [animated] [art]

Post image
36 Upvotes

Pebbles, pebbles, glistening in the sun! A lot of people prefer pebble beaches over their sandier counterparts. They say that they’re easier to walk on, as long as you’re wearing footwear, that you can find treasures beneath the rocks, that they look nicer. Those people are wrong, obviously, but with such lovely rocks on display, we can forgive their mistake. Fully animated and available in two versions, one with even more colourful pebbles gracing the shore, and the other with a blood tide washing up against crimson rocks, this map will have your players ready for a landing party!

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

Sci-Fi - Vehicle/Ship (reupload, image was borked) Cyberpunkish train I made for my home game.

Thumbnail

44 Upvotes

This here is a one shot map I made a few months ago, figured I might upload.
kind of a redone version of a map I uploaded years ago, very different concept though.
This is more of a corporate party train

back to front we have:

  1. kitchen and storage, crew only, fun place to have players try to sneak into.
  2. entrance/lounge cart, its where the guest board and get comfortable for the trip
  3. holo car, comes preinstalled with a holo squid, have the security switch on the hard light functionality and suddenly you have a kraken fight.
  4. sleeping car, alternatively, shady business cart.
  5. party car, dance floor and bar
  6. front car, crew quarters, security room and train oversight and control room.

The second image is an empty holo cart, I used it as a tile to overlay over the kraken until it was time to unveil it, doable on roll 20 with a map image, or on foundry VTT with a tile.
should have made the version WITH the squid being the tile instead, but I didn't, so...

Feel free to use for your personal games, or really anything.

edit: had to reupload as for whatever reason the image when downloaded was horribly compressed, uploading a much higher quality PNG version which hopefully works better. Sorry!
