Hey everyone, I'm back from a long absence while I was in China and wanted to show you something shiny!
Ok, so it's not actually shiny, but it is metaphorically shiny!
Check out the KickStarter here!
Who: Frontline Gaming and TABLEWAR™
What: Mega Mat; a series of themed, full color 4’x6’ (and 4x4’ with stretch goals) tabletop gaming mats that don't crease and resist stains, ready to play out of the box. The first two Mega Mat design prototypes--Grassy Plains and Blast Zone--are done and in our hands! We have plans to unlock Urban, Snow, and Desert themed Mega Mat designs in 4x6' and 4x4' sizes with stretch goals!
Where: Worldwide shipping* available.
When: Kickstarter to fund in December 2013, early bird products to ship in February 2014, second production run to ship in March 2014 with additional production runs to ship monthly, thereafter. Pledge early to get yours first!
Why: Because a beautiful, portable, gaming mat ready to play out of the box that doesn't crease and is liquid resistant wouldn’t just be a mat, it’d be a Mega Mat, Boom!
So hey everyone, I will keep this short and sweet.
We (Frontline Gaming and Tablewar) are gamers just like you all, and saw a niche in the gaming industry for a high quality, portable gaming mat, so we went for it!
They are awesome. They lay flat, resist stains, don't crease and look beautiful. The prototypes above are actually at half the resolution of the production quality mats! (150dpi vs 300dpi). The recently unlocked 'Urban Combat' mats are so high res, you can actually read the writing on the little news papers blowing around the city!
We have already more then doubled our funding goals! So this is gong to become a reality and we are super excited for it!
No work needed on these, they are easy to store, easy to transport and ready to play, right out of the box. They come in a drawstring closed sleeve to keep them clean and the box they ship in makes them a breeze to roll up and take to your next game or keep them stored in the closet or under the bed.
The 'Urban Combat' mat shown above, was the most recent done! We will have the snow themed 'Alpine' done in the next few days and ready to view! Barren Wasteland is on the way in the next week and change, too! Another cool fact about it is that the streets on it mark off deployment zones for popular miniatures games!
We're also only about $1K away from unlocking 4x4' Mats! Those will rock for Warmachine, Hordes, and other skirmish games!
We also have plans for space themed Mega Mats suitable for X-Wing and similar games as well as a ton of other, awesome designs that we have planned!
So, if this looks like something that interests you, please check out the KickStarter and back us!
Thanks for reading and happy gaming!
