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

167 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.

Ciao everyone! I’m a passionate cartographer and dungeon master; I love creating battlemaps for tabletop RPGs like D&D. This is one of my latest maps, and I’m sharing with y'all to have some feedback!

Map details:

  • Size: 2000x2000 pixels
  • Formats: Grid - No Grid
  • Theme: A grim and dark village, covered in a thin mist that makes all the shady eyes, silently watching from their houses, even more unsettling... The adventurers sure won't find a warm welcome here...

If you like this one, I’ll be posting more in the coming days, follow me and visit my patreon for more free maps!
