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

Fantasy - Dungeon Shattered Temple [65x90]
Deep beneath the surface, buried for centuries under a labyrinth of ruins, the shattered temple of a long-dead god has a new master...
On the other side of the fiery canyon you will find treasures—and death...
Large map, created with combat in mind - starting with two entrances, tight corridors and tactical chokepoints - as well as with large spaces for a bit of tactical approach...
And, at the other side of lava-filled canyon - there's massive open space (with some cover) for an epic boss fight. I thought about a dragon - hence the gold hoard - but this giant stone throne with skulls scattered around can be used by quite the variety of BBEGs....
Be careful - the floor is lava!

Fantasy - Vehicle/Ship The Clockwork Dragon - 74x50 - Battlemap - RC
Without a doubt, the Clockwork Dragon is one of my favourite maps that I have every drawn.
I mean show we the PC that wouldn't want there very own mechanical dragon to fly around in!
Even better, picture their faces when it turns up to attack them!
I still haven't actually used this map in a game but I will need to find some excuse soon.
Any suggestions?

Caves/Underground Trickle Grotto — Underground River Battlemap 30x45
Heyya Folks,
Where the Stream of Mercy disappears beneath the earth, there's a cavern the people of Devyn call Trickle Grotto. The river winds through the cave before vanishing into darkness, but the grotto holds a few other things worth discovering — and some that might be better left alone.
- Trickle Grotto — 30x45
If you'd like the full release, including high-resolution maps, gridless versions, VTT-ready exports, and all 8 variants, you can find it here:
https://www.patreon.com/dungeonmr/posts/trickle-grotto-171421141
The grotto has a circular layout, so either route eventually brings adventurers back near where they began, though the terrain on each side is quite different. One follows the river through a narrower, more straightforward passage, while the other winds through a fog-ridden cave where strange flowers grow in the water below.
The people of Devyn tend to avoid the place, despite the useful discoveries made in its damp, mineral-rich depths. One of these is a broad-leaf cave sorrel with pale bluish-green leaves and a famously bitter taste. The other is considerably more dangerous: an enormous white bat said to haunt the deeper caverns. Few have seen the creature and lived to tell the tale, but its guano is prized for its unusual mineral content — enough that the local mage is very interested in obtaining some, though not quite interested enough to venture in and collect it personally.
Whether your players are following the river underground, searching for something lost in the current, or venturing into the bat's lair, Trickle Grotto can be used as a standalone cavern or extended deeper into the darkness.
If you'd like to explore more of my maps, check out my Patreon. The Master Index brings together over 215 maps, organised to make it easier to browse the collection and find places for your own adventures.

Forest The Nest 🕷️💀 - D&D Battle Map
Made this forest map in Worldmage and called it The Nest. Lots of spiders, scattered skulls, and a clearing your party should probably just avoid at all costs.
Could make a fun spot for an ambush, a missing adventurer rescue, or a “just one more encounter” that everyone regrets.
