A personalized mat with a cute story and tutorial!

By dotswarlock, in X-Wing

Hi everyone!

First, I wanted to present this one of a kind gaming mat!

It was a birthday gift from my wife, my true soul mate. There are three x-wing related reasons why she is awesome:

1 – The first time she saw me unpacking my wave 3 expansions, her reflex was to smile and say “you look so cute when you’re passionate about something!”

2 – This awesome mat.

3 – Being a bit shy, she was the one who kept insisting that I go out there and try to find other x-wing gamers, which I eventually did!

Of course, there are lots of other reasons why she’s great, but they are not X-Wing related ;)

If some of you are curious as to how she did it, she made a tutorial about it on her website, so feel free to check it out! (It has more pictures)

Have fun out there!

You've won.

You've simply won, sir.

you sir are a lucky gentleman.

my girl is into games, not as much as I am, but she plays with me. (wink, wink)

mine is crafty too, hasn't made me a nice playmat, but she is very talented at miniature painting (much better than I) and is slowly painting my full set of zombicide. (70% complete, i'm doin some too, but hers are better)

she isn't into x-wing as much as other games, but will play with me.

She's definitely a keeper..

How does she hide her spiraled horn, and golden nailes?

Long hair and nail polish? Just out of curiosity though, which mythical creature are you referring to? I tried googling it, but the closest that I got for the spiraled horn was a unicorn (and those don't have golden nailes, lol).

But thanks for the feedback guys! If anything, it made my wife blush ;)

That is a great story! thanks for sharing :)

Well, this one does:

But I suspect that wasn't the mythical creature he was referring to...

In any case, man... you really got lucky there with having a great wife. :) Thanks for sharing the story and giving hope to single nerds like me. :D
