SpikeSpiegel 2,077 Posted February 5, 2015 Bam! http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=5356 These are looking pretty cool and simple. I'll probably buy two of them despite having my own 3'x3' already! 5 InstantAequitas, Osoroshii, GroggyGolem and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Futant420 496 Posted February 5, 2015 Nice! It was only a matter of time I suppose. They were leaving a lot of money on the table by not putting one out. Now it's probably only a matter of time until we see complete retail acrylic sets. 3 Darthfish, GroggyGolem and stegocent reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sithborg 11,513 Posted February 5, 2015 Dat Death Star... I have some mats that I am very happy with. But I think I want that Death Star. And a Death Star II mat. 2 Vykk Draygo and jme reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tipperary 2,370 Posted February 5, 2015 Baking large objects into the playmat looks wierd to me. 2 aadh and Punning Pundit reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LtRico 113 Posted February 5, 2015 There are customizable and cheaper solutions for X-Wing playmats out there...however, reading neoprene caught my attention. Only heard good things about playmats out of that material, apparently worth the price tag. Any one with neoprene mats experiences? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R2Tito 65 Posted February 5, 2015 Played on a neoprene mat last night, I won, so that makes it good. But seriously the squish and grip to the table is great. The top on the one I played on was still a little slick, maybe silky is the right adjective, but still way nicer than vinyl. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabbok 9,798 Posted February 6, 2015 These are basically mousepads. really HUGE mousepads. The tops can sometimes be a little bit silky smooth, but you have the option of flipping them upside down for an ultra-grip surface that will never let your ships move. However then the silky side is on the table and now the entire map can slide a bit! Still they rock. 2 Parakitor and oneway reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurtleFreak 350 Posted February 6, 2015 I'm glad they're finally making this, but they're beyond late in getting this out. I held out for a long time waiting for them to make mats, but I'm quite happy with my Orion Nebula mats I got when I couldn't wait any longer. 2 oneway and stegocent reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhantomFO 8,979 Posted February 6, 2015 Will need to see how the surface grips. I already have a really good Xia GripMat, which does a great job of keeping my minis in place unless I want to move them. I've seen other starmats where the non-printed side is actually the better one to play on because the printed surface is too slick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteveSpikes 77 Posted February 6, 2015 When FFG say "soon", they mean soon. Looks like FFG is putting those playmats on the fasttrack. It's currently "In Development" for a release in Q1, 2015. 3 General Mayhem, ryanabt and stmack reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forgottenlore 9,823 Posted February 6, 2015 I noticed that they went out of their way to mention "in house manufacturing", in other words, they won't have to be shipped from China. 5 stmack, Punning Pundit, General Mayhem and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Punning Pundit 4,746 Posted February 6, 2015 As pretty as the Death Star looks, I think it might be a bit visually busy for me to actually want to play on. And hey! Starfield!
