Got my playmat in the mail today, looks absolutely incredible and I will certainly be using it in DC
I'd be interested in an single mat in the second wave.
Put me up for one in the second batch. Maybe this will encourage me to start becoming an active member of the community...
I'd like to double-check if I'm in the first run or the second. My original request was made here on 11/6. Thanks!
I want to make sure everyone is absolutely clear, since there's some mixing of terminology going on. Let me just give a rundown:
The first printing batch contained 100 mats. Because there was a rush to get mats to people in time for the GP, the printer agreed to overnight 30 of those 100 to me so I could mail them to GP goers.
The remaining 70 mats have yet to arrive (they're coming in the next couple days). They are spoken for, but no one outside of GP attendees have received information on how to order one yet. For example, danyul, you're still on track to get your mats out of the first print run. In fact, all of the Site Contributors who have said they wanted mats will get theirs out of the first print run. A few non-members of the Site Contributors group are also on track to get their mats out of the first print run.
Those that don't get in on the first print run will be able to get them out of the second. I'll do my best to make sure the second order contains enough mats to get everyone else that wants one in the immediate future. It will probably take another month or so to get that order processed and shipped, but we should be able to get them before Christmas.
I feel bad that some people are getting them right away and others have to wait, but the first run was sort of a trial... I wanted to make sure that the mat quality was good, and that the print quality matched our expectations before investing too much money in a giant order. I'm pleased to say that the quality is outstanding. The mats look and feel really nice.
If it makes you guys feel any better, I'm waiting to take my mat until the second print run, so I'm definitely motivated to get it done quickly.
What it takes to be a pimp:
1. Knowing the right people.
2. Have the money
Not one or the other, but both.
The fastest way to become a millionare is to start with a billion dollars, then start collecting magic cards, eh? - dry cereal
Not contacting people with that info until I have the rest of the first print run and the necessary boxes to ship them in my possession. Should be early next week.
Hi Zilla
First of all, thanks for doing this. Amazing stuff.
I'm mostly a reader of this forum. It has great content and I really enjoy learning more than writing my self.
I have no idea if what line I'm waiting in, or when I would be able to buy the mat, but I'm ok waiting until the second print run. I really don't need it that fast since I'm not going to any major tournaments before christmas. I would love to get it early, but if it helps you out or makes you able to get yours first, I'm fine waiting.
From Norway, thanks to everyone making me better at magic by discussing and providing great content.

Hi Zilla,
Please write down my name for a mat from the next print run.
You can PM me specs when you received the new load.
Since all indications are playmats being a success, what are the chances of shirts and the like happening? Please put my name on the waiting list for The Source sheer babydoll nighty please.
Thanks Zilla for the clarification! I went back and reread your post and indeed I was confused by them wordses. My badz. I am mucho excited to rock that playmat in the near future.
IRT shirts, are you thinking about cotton T-Shirts or come polyester collared golf type shirts? My lifestyle is currently in the 0-2 bracket as far as financial security is concerned so my wardrobe better supports T-Shirts with graphics on them, because I am an adult child. Some of our more successful members might prefer the collared style shirts.
Thoughts?
Both are being considered, with quotes worked up. :-D
Edit:
Update from the preferred printer:
"We can generate a quote with a cheap 100% cotton t-shirt, gildan, a badger dri-fit s/s, Nike legend dri-fit s/s, and a Nike polo dri-fit. Quantity discount for printing will apply only if the same logo, same size, and same color scheme is used on all garments, as long as that is met, you’ll be able to mix and match garments."
