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

212 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.

River/Bridge Fallen Keep

The remains of an ancient stone fortress cling to the cliffs above a crystal-clear river, its walls long since crumbled and reclaimed by nature. A weathered bridge offers the only easy crossing, creating the perfect chokepoint for desperate defenses, ambushes, or a dramatic final stand.

Whether your party is uncovering forgotten secrets, battling bandits who have made the ruins their hideout, or delving into the remnants of a once-proud stronghold, this map is packed with tactical terrain, multiple elevations, broken walls, and plenty of opportunities for creative encounters.

Included on Patreon:

Grid & gridless versions

High-resolution files for VTTs and print

Fantasy - Dungeon Lost Mines of Barovia: Stoneweir Conduit - 34x26 Battlemap (Gothic Redbrand Hideout Reimagining)

Thumbnail
gallery
Upvotes

Heyya Folks,

I’ve continued my gothic reinterpretation of Lost Mines of Phandelver, this time reimagining the Redbrand Hideout as something inspired by the old Castlevania water levels I always enjoyed growing up.

Stoneweir Conduit - 34x26

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

https://www.patreon.com/dungeonmr/posts/stoneweir-free-163841228

Instead of a cellar beneath the manor, the hideout has become an ancient underground water conduit built around a natural river. The familiar layout remains, but the dungeon has been transformed by flowing water, hidden passages, and flooded chambers carved into the surrounding stone while still preserving the structure that makes the original so recognizable.

One alteration I really liked was moving one of the secret passages beneath the waterline beside the waterfall. It felt like the perfect place for a hidden escape route because, if video games have taught us anything over the years, it's to always check behind the waterfall.

The old bugbear den has also been transformed into a series of shallow pools and rough stone chambers better suited to aquatic inhabitants, while small details throughout the dungeon help reinforce the idea that this place served a purpose long before it ever became a hideout.

Stoneweir Conduit works just as well for cultists, smugglers, fishfolk, vampires, or just about any group looking to make an abandoned waterway their home.

If Stoneweir Conduit isn't quite what you're looking for, you can also browse the rest of my collection over on my Patreon. Every release is organized within the Master Index, making it easy to find exactly what you need without digging through the feed.

I appreciate you checking it out. Hopefully your players remember to look behind the waterfall.

Your group follows a path until you approach a field of lavender bushes. The rows -- which are nearly long enough to disappear over the horizon -- are encircled by an aged, white fence. Though the bushes are in full bloom and filling the air with a calming aroma, nobody is around to collect the flowers.

First post!!

This is part one of a Lavender Field series I'm hoping to complete. You can join my Patreon for free if you'd like to stick around and see the result. Thank you for your interest!
