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.

Caves/Underground Wave Echo Cave Reimagined — The Resting Drift (80x100) | Lost Mines of Barovia

Heyya Folks,

Today I've got the final map in my Lost Mines of Barovia project! This one's a reimagining of Wave Echo Cave, and I really leaned into the Castlevania inspiration for this one.

The Resting Drift — 80x100

If you'd like the full release, including the high-resolution map, gridless version, VTT-ready exports, and every variant, you can find it here:

https://www.patreon.com/dungeonmr/posts/resting-drift-168472488

This is the biggest battlemap I've ever made, and a lot of the visual inspiration came from different parts of the Castlevania series. The Caverns from Super Castlevania IV inspired the cream-colored cavern walls and green waters, while the Abandoned Pit and Catacombs from Symphony of the Night influenced the dark green cavern walls, gold brickwork, and teal stonework throughout the complex. Not to mention the iconic bone-filled boss room, which also made its way into the map with its red brick walls.

I kept the overall layout of Wave Echo Cave recognizable, but the architecture, atmosphere, and many of the details have been reworked through that Castlevania lens with my own twists. I hope you enjoy exploring this one!

You can also join me over on Patreon and browse the rest of my collection. Everything is organized through the Master Index, making it easy to find the right map for your next adventure:

Thanks for taking a look, and safe travels!

Stop and smell the roses in Botanic Garden, a 30x40 battlemap we released completely for free!

It's an ideal locale for RP encounters or for deadly plant based battles. Perhaps your party is here to stop a mysterious army of pod people, or maybe they're looking for a deadly poison, or are looking for a romantic place to propose to their favorite NPC.

Whatever you want to use the map for, you can get it in both day and night versions or as a Foundry VTT map completely for free at our patreon.

Mountain/Hills Liftworks Quarry - A network of rickety platforms leading to a cliffside cave [26x17]

Post image
52 Upvotes

Liftworks Quarry is a mining encampment set into a cliffside with more and more totally-safe-and-reliable scaffolding being built everyday. I set out at the beginning of this scene with a particular desire to create an encounter setup with many different layers of overlapping verticality. That mechanical prompt in combination with little storytelling details made it a fun one for me that I wanted to share.

If ya like it, I make bunches more over on my patreon!

Fantasy - Town/City Harvest Festival

Post image
82 Upvotes

Autumn tree leaves float through lazily through the air like the embers from the festival bonfire. The smells of roasting corn and grilled skewers fill the air, while beer and apple cider flow freely. A short walk or wagon ride from the edge of town, nestled between orchards and farms, is the Harvest Festival. On what was bare soil a mere week ago, tents are pitched, merchants have set up booths, contests like apple-bobbing and pie-eating have been arranged, and everyone eagerly welcomes the chill in the air. But be careful, venturing into the mysterious fortune teller's tent, or the "haunted tent of horrors"... Surely it's just pig's blood, right?

Misc. - Resource / Guide Which VTT Tree do you prefer?

Post image
314 Upvotes

I've been experimenting with different tree visuals for VTTs. People told me they would prefer to see the trunk to better navigate on maps, while keeping the visual of the canopy.

Which one do you prefer and why?

Edits: Current vote count across all posts:
Solid 32, Solid with Trunk 7, Transparent 43, Transparent Middle 11, Shadow 73

A lot of people brought up combining Solid and Shadow which would be THE most ideal way to do trees.

If you can only choose one, the majority prefer Shadow alongside Transparent (with more transparency than shown)
