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.

River/Bridge Yet another river map, but with bridge with an opening mechanism!
Maybe I made it one square too wide. What do you think?

Caves/Underground Drow City: Webbed Heights - 6 Connected Underdark Street Maps [8K] [Grid/Gridless]
I spent most of August building this location in Unreal Engine. Instead of creating just another standalone battlemap, I wanted to make a complete section of a drow city that DMs could use for street battles, chases, escapes from captivity, random encounters, or ambushes.
The gallery includes the full 8K static version of one map, free to download and use, together with GIF previews showing the remaining maps and their animated variants.
The complete Drow City: Webbed Heights pack contains six connected street maps and five cinematic POV scenes, available in static and animated versions:

I hope this city gives your players a suitably dangerous welcome to the Deep Realms.
Cheers!

Fantasy - Town/City Isometric town street
As i've been making maps and assets for a few years, i've been working my way through a fair few "classics" .. But i gotta say, it took a long long time before i dared to tackle a city asset pack.
The pack is 86 separate assets or so, and i used those and stuff from previous packs to put together this map :)
A lotta fun to do, and i also did a bunch of like, ready-to-place houses and stuff. One day i'll spend a few weeks to give colored houses of varying sizes, so its easier to make your own.. One day.
Made by piecing together the various assets in Photoshop, then flattening the layers and coloring it.
The full pack also comes with a night-time version of it.
So what do you think? what kinda adventure/scene would you use it for?

Modern - Interior Inspired Royal Hall Map | Epsilon7430
This is the cover art map for my new Royal Hall asset pack, which was inspired by the absolutely wonderful architecture and colour palette of Royal Albert Hall in London, UK. The map was made with Dungeondraft and makes extensive use of Moulk's Soft Shadows mod. No AI involved.

I hope you find this map interesting!

Fantasy - Dungeon Ancient Array — Ancient Arcane Research Facility (48x36)
Ancient Array — 48x36
An underground research facility and archive built by an ancient civilization that understood magical energies in ways that modern civilizations could barely comprehend. Arcane infrastructure has been combined with strange, almost biological technology, creating a place that feels very different from a traditional magical ruin.
If you'd like the full release, including the high-resolution map, gridless version, VTT-ready exports, and every variant, you can find it here:
https://www.patreon.com/dungeonmr/posts/ancient-array-167615511
The Array has been buried for centuries, with only a small tower-like structure remaining above ground. Inside, old lights still glow throughout the halls, while a cavern that has broken into the facility has developed an ecosystem of its own.
The complex still contains an old dormitory, an archive filled with shattered recording crystals, a strange device connected to somewhere deeper within the facility, and a containment area where experiments of unknown purpose were once conducted.
At the heart of the Array is the sensory tree. Still alive after centuries, its roots stretch far beyond the facility, allowing it to sense magical energies and other phenomena across an enormous distance.
I originally designed the Ancient Array for one of my own worlds, but I could easily see something like this working as a Netherese research site in the Forgotten Realms.
You can also browse the rest of my collection on Patreon. Everything is organized through the Master Index, making it easy to find the right map for your next adventure:

Thanks for taking a look, and safe travels.

Fantasy - Interior Isometric battlemap bundle for VTT
Isometric maps are a little niche, but personally its what made me start doing VTT during the pandemic (Epic Isometric, to be specific) :) The angle is both a callback to PC games like Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale, as well as a fun way to also work in height differences and depth.
After a while i started making my own assets, minis and maps to be able to customize more to the campaigns i was dm for. Then after that, i started to put stuff up on a Patreon of my own :)
Originally i did them by piecing together individual assets (also done by me) in Photoshop, then flattening the image and coloring it. These days i have more and more colored assets, so i can make a colored "empty" map, then place out the assets to make something new.
I've been doing it for a few years, but never posted here before!
so.. here's a little collection of maps <3
- Swamp
- Classic dungeon
- Forest scene with waterfall and a ruined little outpost
- Overgrown keep with moat and remnants of a village
- Tourney grounds with surrounding camps
- Meso-american inspired temple, with a ruined bridge and waterfall
- Viking longhouse
If you want... a LOT more, as well as minis and the separate assets and stuff i've made them with - become a Patreon at https://patreon.com/TheDungeonSketcher
(If one doesnt wanna become a paying supporter, there's a bunch of maps and bundles for free as well)
