I widened LoR and Artifact areas so people are not forced to stack all of those cards into one pile.

Also, if you are not using forts or sites, you have the full 7 card area for characters and souls.

I like this set up. I still wish someone could find a Hi-Res copy of AotL or GoYS to see what that would look like.

Considering they just used the GoyS art on that box, I'd assume they have a high-res version of that available.

Hey, I feel like since you're only going to have one artifact active at a time the Art Pile doesn't have to be so wide and so if you made that only 1 card wide next to good forts you could put a space for set-aside cards there and extend the "Out of Play" line up instead of to the side. Also, with there being an "Out of Play" line I feel like there really should be a spot for fortresses that play to set-aside. It might just be me but it seems like otherwise there might be some confusion. Perhaps the LoR could be shortened to one card width?

This seems like a good idea.

I actually like the idea of the LSs in the LoR being able to be spread out so your opponent can easily count how many rescued souls you have (hugely important). If you just have that spot mentioned above for set aside cards, any set aside forts could go there.

I could shorten the character / soul area by one more card width, and add a single 3 card tall strip on the right for set aside.

I don't think that's a good idea considering how many heroes are likely to be in play, and that in many games the set-aside area isn't really used very much if at all.

Master KChief · « **Reply #106 on:** August 27, 2013, 02:57:22 AM »

Yup, far too much playmat space dedicated to an area that is rarely used. Set aside off the mat works perfectly fine.

Korunks · « **Reply #107 on:** August 27, 2013, 10:45:44 AM »

I would actually prefer to have a set aside area on the playmat, especially since I have played on tables at tournaments with a texture so rough they damaged my sleeves. While not a huge deal it has shortened the life span of my sleeves considerably. Maybe a small space on the mat, or maybe an add on mat for those who like to have a well fleshed out "out of play area. just my

I know RTSmaniac already made one, but what does everyone think about a blank playmat like this?

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #109 on:** August 27, 2013, 02:40:08 PM »

Personally, I'd rather use a playmat with zones to help keep my territory organized. I think it would be beneficial for the game to push for one or two "official" table layouts.

For those curious what my last suggestion looks like:

browarod · « **Reply #111 on:** August 27, 2013, 02:59:13 PM »

I feel like it should say Land of Bondage rather than "Lost Souls" just to keep with the location names theme. Otherwise I love it!

robm · « **Reply #112 on:** August 27, 2013, 03:03:30 PM »

Looks cool. Once you guys finalize will someone be selling these?

RTSmaniac · « **Reply #113 on:** August 27, 2013, 04:21:30 PM »

Daniel, cut down the flare on the armor a bit and add it to the eyes more of a straight line...just a suggestion.

I also prefer having the zones labeled (albeit pretty transparently). However I love the GoYS image. Would it be possible to zoom out just a bit more though so that it's not quite so tight, and have him slightly on the left side of the playmat?

I like the layout overall, but miss the line that showed what parts were "out of play".

I would buy one of each, if I had the money when they come out.

Master KChief · « **Reply #116 on:** August 27, 2013, 05:07:22 PM »

The set aside area makes it look way too cluttered now. Less is better.

That's the plan, but it's been a couple years coming, so we'll see.

I agree about liking the GoYS mat!!! If that could have definitive separations for card piles and such that would be awesome!!!!

Master KChief · « **Reply #119 on:** August 27, 2013, 10:53:28 PM »

Also digging the GOYS mat. Looks perfect as is, except I prefer the transparent card zones.

Now I would love to see an Eternal Stuidos AOTL mat. Honestly, anything Eternal/Cahaba Studios is super legit.

What do you have against TeleStoryToons?

I actually like the AoC one of the GoYS because it's a lot less flashy and it makes it look to busy, especially once there are distinguished areas for stuff set up. Lambo's most recent playmat is my favorite so far because everything can fit on the playmat. I agree with browarod on that it should be Land of Bondage.

Side note: Quemat?

Prof Underwood · « **Reply #121 on:** August 28, 2013, 07:44:27 AM »

Lambo or Daniel, could you make one of the GoYS backgrounds (zoomed out slightly and moved towards the left) that has the card placements shown as below:

Heroes/Good Fortresses Artifacts l Set Aside
Evil Characters/Evil Fortresses l Land of Redemption
Land of Bondage l Deck Discard Pile

The line doesn't really have to be labeled I suppose, but it separates the "in play" from "out of play"

I still do not have the full res version of this image, so I had to modify Daniel's image above for this preview.

Korunks · « **Reply #123 on:** August 28, 2013, 10:12:02 AM »

For me that last format is a winner, I would buy it today if it were available. If there were more background images available I would buy multiples.

soul seeker · « **Reply #124 on:** August 28, 2013, 10:13:35 AM »

I really like this latest version A LOT. Though I don't typically use mats, I would buy and use the Guardian one above.
