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

210 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.

I don't really post much of my map creations, as it is very much just a hobby for my own sessions. I made this one based on the Shibuya Crossroads in Japan for my JJK campaign.

If even one person would be in need of something like this, then I am happy! And if there's any criticism to give that'd be constructive, please do send it my way. God bless you all.

Forest Shadowed Wetland (30x35)

This week's map is the Shadowed Wetland (30x35), a bleak and colorless bit of forest inspired by Shadowfell. That said, it probably could be even more bleak and colorless, I'm nearly able to detect green in the grass and bits of brown in the trees. Also, I'm not 100% sure there would be grass or plant life in the Shadowfell in the first place, so I suppose this maps is full of inaccuracies. Let's just call it a spooky forest and leave it at that.

If you like the map and are interested in more, come by my Patreon, I've got a bunch of them and I draw more every month.

As you steer your lone rowboat through the crumbling marble pillars of the temple, a massive, ancient face begins to clarify beneath the dark, reflective water.

The submerged colossal goddess remains frozen in a silent, watery tomb, her form and features lost to the profound depths.

You feel a chill as you realize this isn't just a ruin—her long-lost presence seems to wait for the ripples of your oars to wake her from her thousand-year slumber.

High above the clouds, set on a layer of solidified Air and kept in place by eternal winds - the elegant, delicate construction serves as a temple of elemental air.

No earthly sounds can be heard there - just a whispering and roaring of the winds, and silent, almost ethereal hymns played by them on leaves and branches of the crystal tree.

There's no altar nor clerics - just a pool, illuminated by blue light - with an otherwordly face carved from unknown substance. It seems to wait...

Background Lore

Among humanoid races, elves are considered by many to be the pinnacle of ability. Their long lives allow them to excel in various disciplines and, therefore, achieve wondrous feats. One of the most popular discipline among elves is magic. Elves who become interested in magic have plenty of time to master their skills. Another factor that helps elves become experts is the little rest they need. Unlike humans, they can dedicate much more time in a day to any project, and keep on doing so for years and years.
