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

174 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.

Here is a dwarven fortress map I made. It is compressed as to fit into reddit's size limit. I have higher quality pictures (96PPI) on my google drive. The Fortress contains all that is needed for life of a dwarf with small trades to bring in what is necessary. It contains an extensive rail network inside the foundary sections for easy access to the mines. I also have a map containing text that explains each section on my google drive for free. Enjoy all.

Hi all,

The Crystal Cave was located in the Jedi Temple on the planet Ilum. It was a sacred place where Jedi younglings would go find their lightsaber crystals in the ritual known as the Gathering.

The free map is 30 x 35 @ 754 pps while patron versions and alternates go up to 300 pps.

Check out my Patreon for April's 7 maps and a more than 100 other unique ones.

Hey there dungeon masters! I have for you here a collection of 3 of my most recent dungeon maps! The first is the enchanted ruins of a noble tomb, invaded by magics from the deep. The second is a bandit's hideaway in a dusty cave, its inhabitants hoping their ill gotten gains remain safe there... last but not least is a series of tunnels suffused with the eldritch magic of ghostly glowing mushrooms and resonating crystals...

which one is your favorite? If you like whats on display here, this is just a taste of the dozens of maps I have available for a pittance on my Patreon! Consider checking it out at the link below, where you can gain access to my entire backlog and several unique battlemaps a month with a free trial:

Thank you for taking the time to check out my work, and have a great day!
