My Gift to the X-Wing Community: Starkiller Base Play Mat

By Rytackle, in X-Wing

Thanks for the link Ryan! I've been thinking of doing a mat too but haven't found a place I trust. Will use them for when I finish mine. Here's my idea https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B37gfmlmuzFGNWlvQ2g2UTNxTUk/view?usp=sharing

I'm not that great with photoshop or anything to make it special. Anyone want to give it a shot and spice it up a little?

Oh man, neat idea, maybe I'll take a shot at it!

Cool! I was messing around with tabletop simulator today and figured out how to put my own mat's in there so here's a link if you wanted to play on your own mat online http://i.imgur.com/XGoFcGz.jpg I put my idea on there too just cuz there were two spots. Looks like this during game play http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=727326211

Awesome.

This pushers death star one out of my top three mats list.

Now my favorites are

1 stele open

2 bespin

3 starkillerestest base

Thank you Ryan, this is awesome! Greatly appreciated!

Nice job. Thanks for the link. Looks great on the table.

Yeah got mine in the mail last week. The mat is freaking sweet!

Nice work.

Awesome!

Could you make an additional 6x3 image? Just with more stars on the right side?

It would be an awesome mat for Armade too.

(Maybe just for patreon supporters ;) )

My base! Gunboat. My base!

I just wanted to extend a big "Thank You" to Ryan Farmer for the spectacular Starkiller Base playmat graphic.


I just finished running a 12 week league at my FLGS and had 2 of these printed up as part of the prize support.



Towards the end of the season I brought one in and started playing matches on it. This was the general reaction as I unveiled it for the first time:



*unrolls mat*


Opponent: "whoawhoawhoa... what. is. THAT?!"


Me: "This? This may or may not be part of the prize support for the league..."


Opponent: "Daaaammmmnnn"



That DETAIL! A ton of work went into this - thanks dude. It's another shining example of this community being excellent to each other.



As a bonus I shared the GIF he made of the layer build up and it blew people's minds!

Very cool. One question about Inked Gaming mats. How are they when compared to the FFG mats? Are they similar? Same height? Same kind of bottom?

Bought mine about two months ago. Love it!

Very similar material. I would say they are just a tiny bit thinner, but the quality is about on par in my opinion. Plus square edges which is a huge plus.

This makes a "killer" background for my iPhone too. (See what I did there...lol)

Thanks Ryan, I think I may finally fork out some cash for a mat.

In all seriousness, thank you for this, it looks FANTASTIC

I think it looks great, I just have the star may bc I thought the Death Star one look outa place, I think this one is better becuase it's kind of a birds eye view you can realy pretend your flying over the base.

As a recipient of one of these mats I'd like to say thanks to Ryan for the graphic and thanks to Kris for running the league!

I now have a lovely looking mat to use at home which is awesome as before my girlfriend and I were playing X-Wing directly on the carpet in our living room.

Got my first game in last night with my new mat :)

gotta love the JJ lense flare you included :P

Technically, it's lens bloom. There is zero lens flare on this mat. Bloom is a blurry glow; Flare is focused shapes (think "rings, lines, polygons").
