If the games is successful I know they will make play mats for it, but I was curious about that huge oversized play mat used at Gencon. Is there a way to get my hands on one of those? Does FFG give them away for anything? Just curious to see if anyone had any info. Thanks
Destiny Play mat from Gencon?
To my knowledge, no they did not give those away. My friends and I tried to get the Hand of the King demo mat, and despite the fact that we have some rapport with some FFG employees due to being involved in other games competitivly for so long, it didn't happen. Maybe it was just us unsuccessful in that.
If anyone got them it would probably be the demo'ers.
I don't think you'll ever be able to get one of those EXACT demo mats. I don't think you'd want to anyway. It's specifically meant for their demo tables, and was huge. Like way too big for 90% of the tables people will be playing this on.
I could see them eventually making a similar mat for sale though. Probably even the same graphics just shrunk down/compacted. They have 2-player mats like these for sale for most of their other games.

I understand what you mean, however, the huge oversized mat would be perfect for the table I play games on at home. I have no doubt they will do regular sized plat mats for destiny.

I thought that as well, that those who ran the demo might get them but then again maybe not. will FFG run more demos before release?
We're they actually mats this year? In the past the demo tables just have a high quality paper wrap on them.

I do not know myself because I wasn't at Gencon but in the Covenant video he actually makes a comment on the play mat how nice it is. I could be wrong and its not a mat at all lol

Yeah they were giant playmats.

They also have bigger ones like death star and star field in the store. I was looking for the destiny one specifically. I am considering getting one of these oversized ones but I am biding my time.
The larger ones are sized for X-Wing, JSYK. They're pretty massive.
Are there any images online of the Destiny play mat from GenCon?
I like plain simple designed playmats, I think massive pictures and artwork distract from the cards sometimes. I want to get one that's just a black mat with a starfield for this game, I found one awhile when I got into the Star Wars LCG but never got around to buying it, I'll have to track it down.

I seen the size, I have to measure out my table but I'm pretty sure its 72x72

Here's a good compromise -- so long as your table is 3' x 3'.
I have two of these for Armada. One would work well that both players can share for Destiny. It's a simple design, not too "busy" or distracting.
Looks and feels amazing in person, however.

PS -- Fat Mats sell out regularly, they should be back in stock well before November.

You're welcome. To be practical about table size and price, check out this little ditty I found:

Perfect isn't she? I may grab one despite owning our two larger Armada mats.

Wow for the price thats pretty dam good. I secured a grip matt (2 actually) that will cover just about my whole table. I am gonna see how that works out. The matt you linked is sold out but when its back in stock that is a great idea.

I don't know how I feel about the rounded corners though... for destiny it might be ok, but I know for Armada rounded corners would be a deal breaker for me.
