Winter Theme Game Mat for Frostgrave?

[Elbows]

They remove the mouse-pad option when it's out of stock.  Email them to verify, but it's weird how they do the site.  They removed that from two mats I'd ordered previously so I emailed them and they just said it's a stock thing.

Worth a shot.  The neoprene ones are the most expensive, but not by much and I think the quality vastly outweighs the small increase in price.  May be worth hitting up Kraken Wargames as well, since they recently launched a similar KS and may be open to new mat ideas.

This is the new mat coming soon from the guy who did the Kickstarter some of us backed. Should be about £19 including UK p&p:

[Elbows]

That's...okay looking.  The cobbles (if that's a 4'x4') though are going to be as big as a miniature's base.  Looks a bit out of scale.

[Nooblord]

Should have said it's 3' by 3'.
I have one (a different design) and it looks so much better printed on the material than on a computer screen.

[Cherno]

I have to say that this doesn't look professional at all. The tiling of the textures is very apparent, and the snow was just applied with a spray tool or spray brush and the layer given some transparency. This is, however, not how snow falls in real life; it would cover lower surfaces and leave higher surfaces (raised flagstones or cobblestones) uncovered, without becoming transparent for some reason.

Well there you go Cherno, seeing as how you know how it should look, you can design one thats realistic , as far as you're concerned,
 make and sell it for £19 ., and every person that plays Frostgrave will be throwing money at you to buy one.
Its a Gaming mat, for F*^% sake.
Its going to be covered in terrain for one thing.
And for another, If there was a city that had been berried in ice for a thousand years , Im sort of doubting
that there would be much left standing, let alone having creatures running around in it...
Just in case you forgot ...Its a GAME, and you can use your imagination and pretend

1. If you take critique (which I honestly think is well-founded) personal, that's your choice. I would think that a better way to deal with it is to view it as (negative) feedback. If you don't agree with my opinion, please say so and we can discuss.
2. I have no desire to create or sell a gaming mat, so why should I? I guess I'd also have to be a professional soccer player if I wanted to voice my opinion on a soccer match 
3. As for the rest: I don't know how this is relevant

I found these grey stone embrossed cloth sections at Micheals for about a buck and a half. They're only 9"x 11" but they'll work, and they're cheap. Add snow flocking, and I'd say the job's a good-un.

Got a part number or sku?

I think I found my mat! Which size should I get?

[Jennifer]

I made a Frostgrave mat that I think looks wonderful and did it for about $6 in heavy canvas fabric (with coupon) and about $2 of acrylic paint.   It took me all of an hour or two to make it (less time than it takes to paint one miniature).  It rolls up nicely and lays flat.

I want to buy the Deep Cut Frostgrave mat, but I am in doubt as to what size I should get.

For those who played a bunch already, is 4 by 4 enough, or should I really go 4 by 6? I personally think 4 by 4 is fine, but admittedly haven't played a lot of games yet.

[theironsoldier]

The Deep Cut mat is promising, but I agree that the one above that is pretty poor. Jennifer's is the best of all, I think, so maybe I need to make my own!
