Sobek Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Those of us who attended Gencon and played any Malifaux probably remember the vinyl 3x3 matts used at the tables. Great quality matts in the Streets and Sewers style of the Terraclips sets that would be used as the play area base insead of a bunch of the Terraclips pieces themelves. I'd asked one of the Henchmen if they were going to be available commercially at some point. He said that they were were a single run for use at the con, but that if the reception and desire for them was enough they were actually considering making them for sale. This is just my vote in favour of producing them for commercial sale. Those matts were great Wyrd. I'd love to be able to buy them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadilon Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Count me as a customer for these as well. They were amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyPath Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 I wasn't at Gencon, but if anyone has a image of them Id love to see those mats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CannibalBob Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Sounds pretty good to me, I would buy them. I am not terribly keen on using the terra-clips as ground-level. I would prefer to use them for walls/buildings/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadilon Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 I am trying to find some good ones I took, but nothing stands out. Imagine the Terraclips tiles printed on a 3x3 vinyl mat, sorta like the Chessex mats, only a little thinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregdorf Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 I was thinking of having some printed at work, and I already own the pdf files used for the sewers. It will just take me some time to arrange them so that the print as one solid sheet. Now if only I had the time to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you print them on vinyl or do you have access to a large format printer? Now that you mention it, it would likely be cheaper than the vinyl to get the pdfs and have a 3'x3' printed on paper at Kinko's.....something to think about.

I'd love to get my hands on some of the PDFs. One of the guys in my group for our other game works at a place with a large format printer. The mats were really cool and I'd love to get them before I started buying Terraclips to use on top of it. I didn't get to play on them, but they were really nice pieces.

Deadpool Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 They were cool, fun to play on and more easy to pack up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfen Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 That was one of our first questions after seeing the mats in the open play area. I'd love to see them in distribution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schristofersen Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 I would love to have a few of these. They would make great skirmish boards for DnD as well. Along with some Terraclips buildings they would be fantastic. Some woods/other terrain ones would be great as well. i've been thinking about some standard terrain pieces such as woods for the summoned woods and pools of water etc and how they might work out as standards for terraclips. I hate the boxy world works trees and was thinking that they are kind of a pain anyhow because you really can't place a model on it. A base that counts as forest with a playmat would fit the bill nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 I got the same response from Wyrd Staff about the vinyl mats. I am very interested in them for tournaments. I am definately hoping they produce them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, in fact one of our large format printes can print on the exact same material as what wyrd had at gen con. I have been thinking on how to put a felt backing on a print so that it is more like the zuzzy game mats. Kinko's may have that same media, but I would check at local art houses or small sign shops to see if they have banner printers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasmus Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Love the concept of malifaux game mat. You can make western/city/sewers/bayou terrain without making a complete board each time, because those things take up a LOT of space. Would definately buy a but load of these Lol! they made facepalm into a smiley:facepalm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadilon Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Ok folks. I think this might be forum 'scoop'. Screaming Heretic podcast interviewed Eric John at Games Day Chicago. Eric mentions that 'TerraMats' is being worked on as a product for release. This is at the 2:40:30 mark. Very cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since all our tables are 4'x6' at the store, mats we can toss down have the added benefit of roping off a 3'x3' area without me needing to measure it out.

Sobek Posted August 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 No they were not textured Well, it depends on what you mean by 'textured'. They were a bit coarse, like the Chessex vinyl matts if you've ever played on them. But they weren't completely smooth either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CannonFodder Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 I've got a 3x3 mat from Zuzzy on order, and I'm also ordered a 2x2 mat of the cobble stone one to cut into streets\squares, which I'm making my own terraclips for building to on. That with my existing WM\H stuff should believe me a good selection to go on. The only reason I'm making my ow terraclip project is that I want fewer parts to assemble and disassemble. http://www.zuzzy.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellygrub Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Now this is a product I'd be highly interested in. I currently use an Ex Illis Board and while it's great it would be even greatererest if I could whip out a 3x3 mat when I don't feel like unpacking the board. City Streets, Swamp, Desert Wasteland!
