I have just seen this from Heroic Maps, it seems just about right.
http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/162799/Heroic-Maps--Terrain-Frost-Ruins?src=sub
Apologies if it has been mentioned before
-
That is actually quite nice and reasonably priced.
Thank you for sharing it.
-
That looks great. When they say 50x50, do you suppose that's cm or inches?
I reckon it'll be easy enough to print off and glue to a bit of board.

It was new to me. Thanks. I like everything but the Browns in the color palette. I will have to take a look on a bigger Scythian my phone.
-
As RPG Now is a US site I'd guess that the dimension is is in inches. Makes me wish I still had access to a colour laser printer.
-
It's 50 by 50 inches. They gave me a free copy as it was on my suggestion that they made it. I think it looks fantastic. . Now I just have to try to find somewhere to print it.
-
Well, there's an answer to having a quality digital file for sending to a custom banner or custom mat site.
-
Looks interesting. Thanks for sharing
-
If anyone in the UK does get this printed onto a banner or some such thing, could they let us know how much it cost and where from?
I'm thinking about getting one of the mouse pad style cobbled mats from deep cut, but this could be a good alternative.
-
If I were to print the jpeg file onto a 3x3 gaming mat (which is somewhat smaller that the more than 4x4 of the file) anyone know what sort of size I'd want to print at? The individual a4 pages on the pdf file say print at actual size - but actual size of the jpg seems a lot bigger in comparison... Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Last year, I ordered the Cobblestone Streets map from Drivethrurpg. I had it printed as a 5 x 3 banner (to fit my dining table) here – bannerprintingandroid.co.uk (http://bannerprintingandroid.co.uk) – for £25.08 GBP including postage.

It looks good in the pictures. Were you pleased with the results ?
It looks like a 4' square pvc banner will be £27 inc P&P, so I'm quite temped to get one printed. Did you just upload the jpeg file as it is, or did you need to do anything first to get it into the correct format for printing ?
-
Some printers print cloth banners, if they don't do that standard you can usually go buy a length of white cotton and they can usually print on that. I once had some sew on patches made that way. They may ask you to cut it to the specific with though.
-
You want to find a printer with an Aqueous Large Format printer I have printed a few of their mats on 400 count sailcloth and they look great.

I'm very pleased with it. All I did was upload the .jpg and told them size. Also, I told them no eyelets. I think they offer a chargeable service where you can get someone to validate everything for you.
-
It seems there are some heavy printing lines on them (the vertical lines)...are those caused by the printing process or an optical illusion?
-
I just got it done by http://bannerprintingandroid.co.uk/
Only took a few days, not long at all. A bit darker than how I thought it would turn out, but I like it.
-
What size did you get it printed at ? Did you upload the large jpeg file ?
-
Yeah. I uploaded the large file and asked them to fit as much of the image at actual size to the 3x3 after telling them the size (50x50 inches) of the image. I'm sure they worked it out on their own though.
-
I've just ordered one. When it arrives I'll post a photo.
-
This is the mat with some scenery on top. Not the best photo, but the only one I have (thanks to my missus' phone).

That's a cracking mat - mght have to look into this option...
-
Nice looking mat. Thanks for sharing
-
Yep, that design looks fantastic for the game setting.
-
Mine arrived on Wednesday after ordering it at the weekend so very prompt service. It looks fantastic - I'm really pleased with it and would definitely order from this company again. I highly recommend this to anyone in the UK.
The mat - at 4 feet square it is very big:

With some figures on to give a sense of scale:

It arrived just in time for the game we had planned for this week. The mat looks so good I didn't want to cover it with buildings and raised platforms. Here it is in action:

Deleted duplicate post.
-
Wow, that's really good!
-
Looks really good.
What was the cost for the banner alone (not the original image files)?
-
£25 including postage for the 4' square banner.
-
Wow. Good value. That was a really good idea, thanks for sharing.
-
These look interesting too of a similar style http://www.pworkwargames.com/en/30-pdf-mats
Various landscape types available. At any rate your table looks good especially with terrain pieces. They also make PVC mats which cost more but may well be better looking and or more robust and avoid any join lines.
-
I own this one: 4x4 G-Mat: Arctic for € 49,00. Not sure if they plan a 3x3 variant as well.

Kraken Games out of Germany has a fantastic one, but I'm not sure how many retailers are carrying them yet (the KS seems to be delivering).
(https://www.fantasywelt.de/bilder/produkte/gross/Kraken-Wargames-Gaming-Mat-Winter-Cobblestone-City-6x4.jpg)
They have a 3'x3', 4'x4' and 6'x4'. Mousepad material.

I've got these one foot by foot and a half felt pieces with a cobblestone pattern embossed on them, which I got from the local crafts store. At a dollar a piece they're pretty cheap, but I must say that pic above is pretty darned cool.
