Can you buy playmats anywhere around Nagoya?

Post by Grantholomeu » Sun Jul 26, 2020 10:23 am

I'm interested in getting a 3x3 playmat for Malifaux, and possibly a 4x4 playmat for Infinity.
Does anyone know if there's a place in or around Nagoya where I could find them?
I'm looking for the kind that are that mouse-pad-like material.
Also just as important, how about those carrying cases that look like you're carrying a massive scroll with a demon sealed away in it?
If there isn't anywhere in town, does anyone have recommendations for good companies I could look into online?

I went with https://www.gamemat.eu/ but it looks like Ringtail has some 4x4 in stock?

@Jye Nicolson

Yeah, I was looking at gamemat.eu earlier. I think that's what some battle report YouTube channel uses.
Jeez, Ringtail costs an arm and a leg though.

I ended up ordering a single sided 44"x60" mat from gamemat.eu which ended up being 104 USD with shipping. The double sided ones are bit more expensive and I didn't think it was worth the price difference but that's just personally preference. Since It easier to play a smaller game on a bigger mat than play a bigger game on a smaller mat I went with the 44"x60" instead of the 30"x22". Getting a proper 4"x6" is probably more practical in the long run though.

Here's the one I got: https://www.gamemat.eu/index.php?&cl=de ... 095137f404

Ringtail seem to go normal retail price but are relatively generous with points. So maybe less good for a one-off purchase but at least the shipping is fast 😅

I can strongly recommend Playmats.eu - I've bought several of their 3x3s double-siders, although those were latex, not mousemat. The plus point with them is you can custom order both sides of the design for no extra cost.

Slightly off topic but I didn't know where else to post it and I didn't want to make a new topic but here's a Kickstarter for pop-up terrain that looks pretty cool and convenient for us train-bound folk.

I've been watching that one. A hundred dollary-doos gets you a nice full table that fits in a very small volume for transport - probably you'd want to supplement it with some scatter terrain but that's easy enough.
