Playmats - maybe wrong forum

[zuzy]

Hallo,

I have just bought the Playmat and I want to ask you how do you carry the playmat.

Are there any "official" boxes or something where I can carry the playmat? I can imagine, that when I put the playmat in the bag, it will be shortly destroyed...

Thank you for your answers.

Regards
ZUZY

i got one of those round mailing tubes fits in my backpack

but my playmats all got drawings on them

I have a cool sling bag which is big enough so I can simply coil the playmat up and put it into the bag horizontally.

While we are on the subject of playmats, where do people usually get their playmats? My local magic store is offering a special to print whatever picture I want on a good size playmat. Is it worth 30 bucks?

[Dan Turner]

for a custom printed playmat yes it is

I have 3 playmats with hand drawn pictures from different magic artist from pro tour spots

IMO it depends on the quality of the mat and the printing but I am inclined to say YES! I suppose its unsporting to have a large pair of boobs on your playmat?

Tell that to Adam Phillips.

Apparently, some people are offended by scantily-clad women on playmats. I guess it's ok on cards though...

My playmats are awesome. Old-school Spellgrounds FTW.

I found one on eBay a while ago that was a general purpose CCG mat with areas for keeping track of life, a graveyard, a deck zone, and a red zone, been using it ever since. Got Rob Alexander to draw Godless Shrine in the play area. It's pretty neat.

If you have a mousepad-type rubber playmat, I recommend finding a plastic or cardboard tube that your mat will fit into if you roll it lightly. Posters sometimes come in plastic tubes that work quite well, or you could cut down a round postal mailing tube.

Leather Spellground-type playmats can be gently folded and put in a pouch or something.

If you do roll your mat, or even if you fold it, make sure you alternate which direction you roll it on occasion. That helps to prevent it from warping, and you don't get those weird edges (or fold lines, if it's cloth or leather-ish).

Alternating is probably not a bad idea, but I haven't seen any problems if you roll it lightly enough.

[Arsenal]

If you roll it tightly, then alternating is recommended. If you roll it up loosely, then it shouldn't effect the mat.

I do this. My playmat is hott, <3 Tendrils.

[Tosh]

I ball mine up and shove it in my bag. My playmat is pretty trashy from spills and ppl drawing all over it ('cept for the ninjas Pinder drew, those are cool) and it's pretty old (I want to say 5 years old) so I don't really care.

My mat is pretty good material-quality wise, I fold it twice every time, and even sometimes put heavy stuff on top of it when it's folded and I haven't seen a single foldline.

Also my mat is the coolest, seeing I got a large part of the Sourcers to sign it!

Edit: Make that: my playmat is signed but the gawddarn sexy fox that is Zach Tartell. I'd have him sign my ass, but I tend to wash it at least once a month. The mat has carried the awesomeness that is his handwriting for almost half a year now.

Anyway, where to people find their playmats? All the mats I've seen are Yugioh Mats from people that got them at regionals :\ Fuck that.

[Dan Turner]

Every mat I have started out as a plain white mat just google "playmat white blank" it will say yugioh most likely but those are the ones I use I draw on them have other people draw on the got some with magic artist having drawn on them. You can get like 10 of them for around $80 shipped they are just giant mouse pads.

[Eatatjoes]

Im pretty sure i saw lots of either 8 or 10 of them, going for 50 on ebay, there was also some buy it now for 8 with free shipping, just check blank playmat on ebay, and they should pop up.
