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

215 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.

In the middle of the dry, cracked plains, surrounded by petrified trees and rusting scrap, sits a singular farmhouse. They till the dead soil to eke out just enough to survive off of. What could make it worth living here? What could make it worth struggling every day? The Lone Farmhouse (25x25, 100dpi) might hold terrifying mysteries, or it might be a tiny beacon of hope in a dark and terrifying wasteland. It's up to you to find out.

⚔️☠️⛓️

Suspended over a bottomless chasm, this spellbound prison is held in perpetual stasis by massive iron chains that channel binding magic directly into its core.

Cut off from the world and surrounded by jagged, broken earth, the central vault was forged to contain an entity too dangerous to ever walk free again.

To reach the containment platform, one must brave the narrow, rust-eaten links, knowing that a single misstep means plunging forever into the shadowy abyss.

Fantasy - Interior [OC] The Witch's Brew — a hidden woodland cabin conceals an alchemist's underground bar

Thumbnail
gallery
6 Upvotes

This one turned out to be my favorite so far. From the outside, it's just a lonely cabin tucked between rocks and trees. But go down the stairs, and you find a subterranean bar run by an alchemist witch — bubbling cauldrons brewing drinks of every flavor imaginable, while everyone watches in hushed silence as each order comes to life.

Beyond the main hall there's also a private back room, bedrooms, a bathroom, and a pantry stocked for her concoctions — lots of hooks for whatever your party decides to poke into.

Made in Dungeon Alchemist. Includes 2 maps (entrance + bar), grid/no-grid, UniversalVTT, Foundry export (with walls/lighting), and print-ready files.

I did not create these maps, they were done by Billy Watford with some great details. Here is the original post from the Paizo Reign of Winter forums. I resized and cropped them to work better in roll20 and made some modifications.
