OK, so FFG do their play mat, but its not really available in the UK and it hasn't got everyone I want on it, so that is out.

I am thinking of getting one custom printed for me, as there are places now offering the surface.
So far I am thinking:
1). Initiative tracker.

2). Rang band tracker.

3). Destiny Pool Tracker / area to place tokens (split light side / dark side).

Anyone does this already? Anyone got suggestions for anything else they would find useful as game aid.
Trying to keep it compact so it lays out in front of my GM shield and still allows for map space etc on the table.

Unfortunately I am not great with graphical stuff, so i suspect mine will look rather amateurish.. lol

Consider having spots for players where you can put tokens for boosts and setbacks. Maybe a place for current environmental factors (darkness, raining, lava etc...)

For environment factors, I would recommend to use cards like Ryuutama RPG weather cards, here (page 16).

Hmm boost and setback eh.. interesting.. I guess i tend to just track those in my head and remind players as their turn comes up.
Environment factors and persistent effects, that could be handy.

Especially for use with new players, I’d include dice symbol reference along with “back and forth” cancellation arrows. Something like—

I'd throw the Genesys dice symbols that differ next to those, too, for a quick conversion by sight sort of thing.

Had a little free time and got something started. The range bands should allow you to fit tokens/miniatures in the various areas. Need to add Initiative and Destiny Pool areas as well as MRTince's suggestion for environmental conditions.

Open for any other suggestions to add to it as well.

Where are you putting destiny tokens?

Niiiiice. Where are you getting it printed, and when is the group buy?

OK, here is draft 2. I've added spots for Destiny Pool and Initiatives. Put some informational detail for concealment and Environment and left a spot if someone one wants to use environmental cards like hikari_darden mentioned. I may design some of those myself. The card location area can be removed if people want the mat without that, just PM me and I can provide the alternate.

So, what else is missing? There is space above the Destiny pool and in the mid-areas of top and bottom. I don't want to make it too busy but if there's anything that could be beneficial, I can make it fit.

As to printing, not sure where to go for that. It would be cool to get it printed on a neoprene mat but have no idea how expensive that would be.

EDIT: If anyone does want to print this, I did it in Illustrator and can provide the ai file for you. Just PM me. That will print much crisper than the jpg will.

That looks great. Thanks.
Only suggestion and its a tiny one, is maybe a divider for the destiny pool to have it easier to see light side and dark, as I know some people don't use custom tokens.

I figured that I would use the Red lightsaber as the divider placing LS tokens above it and DS tokens below it. I could probably use the Triumph symbol instead of Lightsabers to have a more left/right feel rather than angled halves of oval.

Maybe crossed red blue lightsaber.
