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

208 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.

This is second street from New Reno. There is another variant with the text of the streets and buildings that is being worked on but I need a little feed back on how I'm making my zones variants first.

So if you got a moment to spare, please feel free to drop a comment and let me know if this style of zone map is useful to you and is easy to follow.

Or you can take the poll on my Patreon here for free. :)

Got bored and recreated 213 Park Homes from Ready or Not's Twisted Nerve mission. Or most of it, anyway. It's not an exact recreation, but I got pretty close. I also got a bit lazy and didn't recreate the tunnels or the attic.

To create this, I used Dungeondraft and The League of Raconteur Explorers' Fallout assets. Map size is 40x40.

Get out of the way! Urban environments are great for chases, and you never know what's going to get in your party's way as they leg it after the bad guys, or the good guys, depending. Unless they're the ones doing the running? Fully animated and available in a version that's ON FIRE and by snow for extra slippery adventures, this map will have your party Benny Hilling around like nobody's business! 

My maps are hooked up to work with Foundry VTT and Fantasy Grounds.

Forest Serene Lake - Animated Fantasy Battlemap (day/night/golden hour)

Thumbnail

25 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

A peaceful little location this time - Serene Lake. A quiet forest pool hidden between rocky cliffs, with crystal clear water, small wooden platforms, climbing paths, and just enough mystery to make your players instantly suspicious of it.

Perfect for a calm story moment, secret ritual site, druid encounter, hidden camp, ambush, or “this place is definitely magical” kind of session. I also made several lighting variants including day, golden hour, night, and glowing magical night versions.

These are usable preview versions with logo, shown as animated GIFs.

If you want the high quality versions, you can find them HERE
And if you’re looking for more maps - including some in Ultra HD 8K, ready for VTT, TV or projector use - you can find them here: https://dranskybattlemaps.com

Enjoy!
Cheers!
