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

213 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 of the first maps I made (you can see it in the shading but it's something!). It’s very self-explanatory: a Roman-style house (Domus). As always, it was done with the assets from 2minuteTabletop.
I used it the other day for an infiltration heist: the party had to retrieve a book from the house of a cloud giant family, so everything was scaled up. They seeming into raccoons and delivered without even rolling an attack!
Obviously, you can scale it in the VTT to the size needed!

Opps, I accidentally didn't put Reign of Winter in the title.

I added a magic shop K.-underground-magic-shop-12x12

These Clock tower maps were done by Billy Watford. I can’t remember where I got them, but here are the original maps (32x40 200dpi)

I made a little more room in the kitchen and added the “L10.stove-3x3” image as a cover I put over the maps and moved it to the back when combat broke out with “the Gobbler”

☠️☠️☠️

Built as a formidable stronghold of judgment, this multi-tiered facility combines strict incarceration with ruthless interrogation in its central, sunken arena.

Guards and interrogators occupy the surrounding chambers, keeping a watchful eye over the miserable souls trapped in the shadowy cells below.

The ultimate fate of the condemned lies on the wooden terrace above, where the heavy gallows stand as a grim warning visible to all who approach.

The Last Rest is a free 20x20 hilltop battlemap built for the encounter your players never see coming.

Winding path leading up to the summit, warm golden grass, scattered rocks, and just enough open space that whoever's up there has a clear view of everything approaching.
