Saw the new article got excited then saw it was a playmat. I do like the mat. Cool lord of the rings style map in all. So this map is official Terrinoth? I know there’s been some discrepancies over time

Yep, it's the new official map that is used in the Realms of Terrinoth book. But in that book, they don't have a single full map image, as far as I can tell. Instead, there are sections of the map shown in close up for the different realms of Mennara.

As an aside, "Realms of Terrinoth" is a horrible name since Terrinoth is one realm in the world of Mennara.

EDIT: Oh and by the way, I really want to pick this one up!!

Couldnt see an estimated release for the mat. Anyone seen any indication?

I suspect it will be released alongside the actual game, or shortly after.

I cant even see this as an upcoming product on the FFG site?

Game box shows as 'shipping now'....which shows on the side as 7-10 days or something. No listing at all for the game mat even 'in development' etc.

True, but they don't even have other playmats on that page either. I believe there were new playmats for KeyForge, for example, but those aren't on the upcoming page. I wonder if it's because playmats are produced locally rather than at an oversees factory.

I pre-ordered both the game and the mat, and I just got “about to ship” emails for both of them so they should be releasing at the same time, and should be out for general release within a couple of weeks.

I pre-ordered the Arkham Horror 3rd edition and they sent the “about to ship” email on the 16th, they shipped it on the 25th. If they release AH this Thursday for general public, then that means that Heroes of Terrinoth will be released in about 3 weeks alongside the mat (just speculation but slightly based on factual experience).

Preordered from FFG or from an online retailer?

FFG. Just got notified that the game has shipped today so the mat should be coming after. I’m assuming that would mean at least the game is releasing next Thursday.

Do you mean on the official FFG site, where it shows as shipping now, that changed on the 25th.

No, sorry; I pre-ordered from FFG and I got a UPS shipping notification already. I should get it by Tuesday.

Ah I have the mat and the game pre ordered from a company on he same order...they say they will wait for both items to come into stock before despatching anything. ?

Just got a UPS notice that my mat is on its way and should be here by Monday. I also received my copy of the game today.

Not sure if this means both the game and the mat will be released tomorrow but just wanted to give folks a heads up.
