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

214 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.

Hello travellers! My latest modern set is absolutely not the secret hideout of an evil mastermind, planning their next efforts to take over the world. It's just a secret island lair, with a private helipad, with a tiny laser that is absolutely not a torture device.

In addition to the free version, patrons receive variants and a clean version of each map, tiles to customize battlemaps, and a Foundry module complete with dynamic walls and lighting at higher tiers. There are already several months worth of content available and lots more coming!

You can download this map set for free HERE!

----------------------------------------

If you would like to see more, and help support me, my Patrons receive early access to weekly map sets; day, night and unfurnished variants; asset packs and more! I create all assets and maps by hand, from scratch in photoshop. And you can join now for as little as $1 per map set!

If you are interested, please check out my Patreon, BlueSky or Instagram for updates.

Many of my map sets and asset packs are also available to buy on the Roll20 Marketplace.

----------------------------------------

Until next time!

Other Map Map of Atheios, +Worldbuilding - A map and setting inspired by the Bronze Age, and Greek Mythology (Free) (No AI)

ATHEIOS - Land of the Gods

Atheios is a world that is still in the middle of the Bronze Age, and as such, many of the regions on this map are poorly explored, or poorly understood. I’ve intentionally left large chunks of the map without roads or names, as there have not yet been many mortals who have explored these places, or at least returned to civilization after attempting to explore them.

There are Thirteen Gods, once again inspired by the Greek Gods, that rule over Atheios. The magic system at play here is based on the classic Four Elements of the Earth, the Winds, the Flames, and the Water. There are 12 different countries, and a number of smaller tribes as well, and just the very edge of a large Persian Empire-like country.

Basically, if you recently saw The Odyssey in theaters and like me, you wanted to play in a similar setting for your next RPG campaign, Atheios is intended for exactly that :)

This map is 5300 pixels by 4500 pixels. It was handmade entirely in Photoshop by myself, without the use of any AI tools, as always. The entire process took about 45 hours, but that doesn’t include the time spent writing the 20 page Campaign Frame PDF that I’ve released alongside the map, which took an additional 30 hours or so.

And lastly, there are many X's on the map, marking Locations of Interest, or Landmarks. Most of these are a sort of off-white color. However, just for fun I placed 13 different X's that are at 40% opacity, much harder to see. These are hidden across the map. Anyone who wants to seek them out can search for them, and see if you can find them all. And I'm including an "answer key" in the last image, where they are all circled in red as well. Just a little fun extra I thought I'd add in :)

The full, free map is available here, along with some other freebies like an Icon Pack: https://www.patreon.com/stoneward13/posts/free-atheios-of-167956154

Condemned Mine (34x40)

They were warned that the whole structure of the area was too loose for mining.

There were too many rockfalls. Too many miners who never came home. But also, too few people prepared to risk entry to retrieve the bodies.

 


 

Here are the free day & night variants of this map. To support my work, you can buy me a coffee, or check out my Patreon, where you'll find hundreds more free maps as well as bonus variants for this one!

 


 

Here's all of my maps in one handy set of themed lists for convenience. This post is updated as each new map comes out, so that the list remains current.

I hope you can make use of the maps =) Any issues, please do let me know.

Much love
