Frostgrave Gaming Mat
« on: 24 October 2015, 02:10:24 PM »
I have just seen this from Heroic Maps, it seems just about right.

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.

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 – 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.
