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

217 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.

One map. Six ways to tell the story.

  • I heard a clicking sound.. oh the cavern is Flooding.
  • Keep the torches Lit, lets try to stay Dry while we explore.
  • I swear to god if you eat one more Fungus we are not healing you!
  • There is movement ahead, keep the torches Unlit and Dry.
  • Let's not be taken by surprise, keep your light spell on so the corridors are Lit.
  • Sneaking business is to be done only in Unlit circumstances.

Same battlefield. Completely different encounters.

I recently finished: Rivergate Border Watch.(oc)(28Ɨ38)

​How do you guys handle border crossings between two allied or non-hostile nations?

​Do you play out the bureacracy, passports, tariffs, and contraband searches?

​Do you use it for political tension, subtle espionage, or corrupt guards looking for a bribe?

​Or do you usually just fast-travel through non-hostile borders unless there's a specific plot hook?

​I’d love to hear how you keep a peaceful border encounter engaging without it becoming a tedious papierwork session!

Each wing of this clover-shaped tavern is run by a different Montfort brother, with his own specific clientele. It’s the perfect place to lay low, provided you know which brother caters to the local thieves' guild and which one reports to the guard.

Download the Full Set and more: Four Leaf Clover Tavern

(Quick note for FoundryVTT GMs: I've already set up the line-of-sight walls, occlusion layers, ambient tavern sounds, and flickering hearth lights for this scene. Unlock this module (and more!) with my Patreon Lore Master tier if you want to skip all the setup work).

Hope it saves you some prep time this week! Let me know if your party ends up burning the roof!

Have a great session!

Mountain/Hills Been building a browser-based 3D mapmaker for our D&D campaigns - a few months of progress!

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

Posted here a few months back about a 3D mapmaker we’ve been working on for our D&D campaigns. Thought I’d share where it’s got to!

Since then we’ve added a lot more to build with. You can paint whole forests, build bridges across rivers, and stamp mountains into the terrain instead of sculpting everything by hand. Weather, seasons and lighting have come a long way too - been having a lot of fun with snowy maps and moonlit nights lately.

The goal is still the same - make building 3D maps for D&D easy enough that you can actually spend your time planning the session.

Rather than just screenshots, here’s a map you can open and explore yourself in your browser:
https://play.worldmage.com/longsword-moondance-aquarius - and now you can edit this map live yourself!

You can move around in 3D or look at it from above for a more traditional battlemap view.

A lot of the changes have come from people trying it and telling us what works and what’s a pain, so thanks to anyone here who gave feedback on the original post.

Keen to hear what you think now - could you see yourself using something like this for your sessions? What’s still missing for you as a DM or player?

Fantasy - Interior Basement Collection, Root Cellar & Forgotten

Thumbnail

19 Upvotes

Where does that cellar door lead? That set of stairs descending into the darkness? The first installation of my Basement Collection is designed to give you answers to those questions.

The Root Cellar (20x18, 100dpi) basement features a seemingly simple storage area and a clandestine alchemical lab. However, magical, spiritual, or chemical influences from the laboratory have seeped through the floorboards and into a nearby root system. Mutated thorny roots burst through stone walls, ripping the basement apart and exposing it to the eerie cave.

The Forgotten (17x16, 100dpi) basement may lie beneath an old theatre, an artisan's atelier, or simply an eccentric's home. At a glance it seems populated only by lifeless mannequins gathering dust, a hollow mockery of how living people might have used the space, but candles still burn in the darkness, and fungal spores have begun to overtake damp corners.

Map 3 brings massive rusted pipes cutting through cave tunnels, valves and fittings bolted into ancient stonework, fungus creeping along every surface, and a hidden cache room tucked away with crates and barrels that someone clearly doesn't want found. Map 4 features a terrifying whirlpool drain chamber, a circular stone room with a massive swirling vortex at the center, rusted copper fittings lining the walls, and sewer channels feeding into it from multiple directions. Whatever goes in doesn't come back.

These maps connect for large map as well

Jungle/Swamp Foggy Swamp - Animated Battlemap for D&D | Usable Logo Version + GIF Preview

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Hey folks! Here’s my Foggy Swamp battlemap: a dead tree, thick fog, and a patch of wilderness.

It’s a pretty spooky map, so I thought Halloween season was a good excuse to share it with you. A little fog, a creepy tree… what could possibly go wrong?

I’d use this for a swamp ambush or a cursed ritual - but I also like the idea of the tree being the only dry place to camp. Very convenient. Probably fine.

I’m sharing a usable logo version alongside the GIF preview. The preview shows the animation; use the playable version for your session.

You can find the animated battlemap, static variants, and more views of the location here:

For more locations, including high quality 4k and 8k animated maps, have a look through my Browse Maps catalogue.
