What’s more, both playmats are legal in casual level events, while the Starfield Playmat is legal in all X-Wing Organized Play events, bringing the Star Wars setting to your tournament matches... just noticed this in case anyone was looking at the deathstar map

where did you see this?

In case anybody missed it, they updated the announcement page, and both mats are legal for all Organized Play events.

They definitely are late on this one. I provide a lot of the playmate for the events I run at the FLGS so I've got a mix of GF9 (OK playmats, but vinyl) and HCD (mouse pad material, fantastic mats). The HCD mats are very subdued, and are $40. I'll likely keep buying them to use for events but I'll get one of each of the FFG mats. My eventual goal is 20 nice mats for events.

Every day there's a post on the forums/reddit from a new player. Given how long we all hope X-Wing will thrive, being late to the party isn't a big deal.

Glad to hear. Will probably go for a death star mat now.

Went ahead and ordered it. Was really just wondering if they really were available. Order says shipping now?

I'm a new player. I picked up some core sets a few weeks ago. Now our venue has 6-8 people who have their own sets and a few more looking to play. Looking forward to getting a nice mat to play on. Not sure if it will be these but they're certainly on the option list.

They are in stock at FFG's Game Center now, so they should be in stores soon.

sorry for the double posting. I forgot how to post pictures

I love this image but!

A couple of questions on this one:

A) Have you played on it?

B) is it too busy? i.e. do you lose track of your tokens and/or ships?

Wow, that was quite fast.

I'm a little torn about the mats. On one hand they're probably a fantastic product, but on the other hand they'll undercut some of the independent sellers, like Frontline Gaming's FAT mats, which are pretty much an identical product as far as I can tell, but cost significantly more.

I guess FFG, more than anybody has the right to sell products for their own game though. And this does seem like a solid product.

Just got mine today. Video review should be posted soon!
