There's a company I know of online that does custom play mats to order if you send them high quality artwork. Although I have never used them, they get raves from players of a line of games I also play. Personally, I have no design skills. So it would be a question of having someone who does lay it out and convert it to an image file they can work with. If someone has the design skills, they could put together a template so individuals could order from that company themselves, without having to use crowdfunding. I have started work on a "DM screen" type product that contains all of the charts, so the playmat could have more of the elements like chart supremo & Grant have been working on. |

I’d love to see how this works for you. I ordered this: www.amazon.com/Worlds-Greatest-Screen-Landscape-Horizontal/dp/1591800463Which is great, does what it says, all the charts fit in it. But after using it a bit, I felt that since most of the game is spent looking down at the table, something that would raise the cards off the table at an angle might be better as opposed to the cards standing straight up off the table. I don’t know. That could all be personal preference. |

Thanks. Hmmmm. I may take a crack at an initial layout and then get someone better with design (Werner/Osk) to spruce it up. So... What would you want to see on a gameboard/play mat? Fatigue (x 4 - more?) Interference Distractor Double Team Pin Saves |

This has been on my wish list for awhile. I’ve played primarily online for years, but with a new house and more space expecting to break out the cards again. A play mat with 4 spots should be sufficient, I’d actually be Ok with just 2 spots so I’d have the “legal man” in the ring. I’d like it to look like a wrestling ring with a crowd outside of it with counter spots over top. Something to think about for sure.

Fatigue (x 4 - more?) Interference Distractor Double Team Pin saves maybe? Otherwise space for the wrestlers and a cool background picture would do it for me. Edit: If were greedy, I'd want 6 fatigue lines since I run a fair amount of six-man tag matches, but if it cluttered things up too much then I could make do. |

I do the ‘legal man’ thing you’re talking about. but 4 spots might be good. Possibly a spot outside the ring for managers? |

Yes, of course pIn Saves, added that to my list. |

Inked Gaming is exactly the company I had in mind.
Agree with Chad's approach. The objective would be a high quality PDF or other image file a promoter could download, then print at home or send to a professional printer or maker of play mats.
When it comes to fatigue, etc., you don't need multiple tracks crowding the board. In tag matches, you can represent different partners with different colored pawns or chips on a single track. I do that now.
Also, I stack my teams, with the in ring wrestler's card atop the stack.
