ddrinkle Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Hi All, Just wanted to let you guys (and gals) know about some new game mats I've been working on. I had a special request from a Malifaux gammer a little bit ago, to create a special 3x3 Game Mat. After some conversations here's what we came up with for him, and we think the community might be interested in them as well. All our mats are made with a neoprene rubber backing, and a soft printed fabric top (think mousepad material). The mats are 1/8" thick, and roll up nicely for shipping, or storage. First we came up with our plain Dirt Mat: To Order, or see a few other photos: http://www.mygamemats.com/products/products/rough-dirt-malifaux-mat And from that we thought maybe a nice Grassy Mat that also has a path through it. I went with a cobblestone path, thats been somewhat distressed. To Order or See more photos: http://www.mygamemats.com/products/products/grassy_trail_game_mat_malifaux Last but not least, we thought it would be cool to be able to add roads to any game surface, but we wanted the roads to be customizable, and not static, so they could be laid out in different configurations for each scenario. So to that end we came up with our Road Cut-outs, which are made with the same material as all our game mats. To Order: http://www.mygamemats.com/products/products/malifaux-warhammer-distressed-roads-terrain-pieces Then we thought maybe it'd be cool to have the same roads, but with some blood spatter on them. Same roads as above, but with some splatter. Here's a closeup. To Order: http://www.mygamemats.com/products/products/malifaux-warhammer-distressed-roads-blood-terrain- Well guys and gals, I hope you like what we've come up with. That's it for now from us at http://www.mygamemats.com Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddrinkle Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Thanks for the feedback guys, glad you like them. Rover, your order is all ready, and will ship out tomorrow. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ataraxianj Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Those are really cool! I wish they were a little cheaper, they would make great demo boards for cons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddrinkle Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Those are really cool! I wish they were a little cheaper, they would make great demo boards for cons! Yeah, I really wish I could make them a bit cheeper too. I've tried to bring the price down even more, but just can't shave off the additional cost of producing them. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks to the community for the welcome, and the support. We still have a few mats left in stock, so if you are thinking about getting one, now is a good time before they are all gone, and you have to wait for the re-order.

mjungledog Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Just ordered mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rover1013 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Just got my mats. They definitely exceed my expectations.... VERY nice. These will make fantastic travel mats (even better than my zuzzy mats I think). Well worth the price in my opinion. Great product and thanks for making them available and pimping it on the forums here! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love to see some pics of your games with them, when you get a chance to play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Just to confirm - the mats are not painted, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rover1013 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 I can only answer as an owner but it looks like it's printed. silk screened or something. they're also not textured, which is super convenient for playing on, but less pretty (to some). the surface seems pretty durable.

Viruk Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 You mean it's printed in color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rover1013 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Yeah. It's like a giant mousepad, really, if that gives you any context. Fabric-y on top. Rubbery on bottom. About the same thickness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Thanks a lot, I know everything I need now and I think I'll be soon ordering a mat or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjungledog Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 I just got my mat. It's awesome! I highly recommend these mats for anyone looking for one (or two)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 The only thing I'm concerned about is lack of texture on the mats, I'd love to see some pictures with the mats used for gaming. Can anyone share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Lovely mats, too bad the shipping is such a killer. Any plans to make sound ones but for dirt/cobblestone? I do love the current one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rover1013 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I keep forgetting to take pictures. I'll try to get some tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rover1013 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 The last shot is blurry, but I kept it included because it's the only pic I have that close to the mat. I only remembered to take these at the top of turn 4, so quite a lot had happened already... hopefully it still gives you a decent idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Thanks a lot for the pics. I can now see that despite the lack of texture the mats still look very good on the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakes1066 Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 How much would shipping to the UK be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddrinkle Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 How much would shipping to the UK be? Hey guys sorry, I've not been back in a while. Our shipping overseas is pretty expensive. The best way to figure it out, is to go through our checkout process, and at the end, it'll give you a total, including shipping. One thing I've found (and this honestly isn't to sell more mats) is that if you are thinking about getting the dirt and the grass, it would be cheaper to get them together than shipped separately. The Magic # for keeping the shipping costs as low as possible / mat.. is 3 mats. It's still not cheap, but that's what I've found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddrinkle Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 You mean it's printed in color? Yep, the mats are printed and then applied to the fabric using a process called Dye-Sublimation. The mats are full color Just to confirm - the mats are not painted, right? Nope, they aren't painted, they are printed. The last shot is blurry, but I kept it included because it's the only pic I have that close to the mat. I only remembered to take these at the top of turn 4, so quite a lot had happened already... hopefully it still gives you a decent idea. Rover, thanks for the pics, they are great. Would you mind me adding these to the product page for the dirt mat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rover1013 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Rover, thanks for the pics, they are great. Would you mind me adding these to the product page for the dirt mat? All good by me, though I suddenly wish they were higher quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkoman Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I love the idea of these mats. coming from being a Zuzzy user, though they are great mats as well, i would love the ease and durability of these.. i will have to pick one up. one question, i noticed you do roads as well, would you be doing any other style roads? i am looking along the lines of cobblestone roads like the streets of malifaux, or dirt roads (simple western town dirt roads). i would love to have some easy roads that lay flat to add extra detail to a board. thanks, stinko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
