I'm mostly confused why people want mats.

I am not a fan but iff it helps keep people more organized and the field of play more noticable, i'm all for it. I don't want standard territories, i just want everything to be organized.

This discussion is motivated almost entirely based on what is best for the self. Why should Johnny be forced to set his cards in the way that Bobby likes best? If the table gets all cluttered and makes it so that cards are hidden and players cannot see them in order to make game decisions that's one thing, but no player should be forced to use a specific placement style just to appease somebody else.

Ironically, if players are continually being "confused" by other's layouts, then shouldn't we put "self" aside and do what is best for the game rather than the tradition we have been acustomed to. Also, the layout that Rob originally suggested was exactly for the purpose of keeping territories organized since there are so many kinds of card that can be out in different places. I see your point of not wanting to change something you have become accustomed to, but it is not like everyone is keeping their layout and you are the only one being asked to change. I am suggesting that we all give a little to get clarity in return. Who knew trying to get a group of people to budge on such a simple thing would be so difficult...

Its weird that we are talking about the whole playmat idea b/c i too have been thinking about making some. The one i have now looks like this:

and i will soon be creating custom playmats that you can buy fairly cheap in bundles. But im not planning on making places to put cards on them until later. I really just want to make mats that people say "WOW, i'll pay money for that!"

I actually bought the rights to the art used on Mayhem and Grapes and have made a sweet CA style playmat...

So, a mandatory layout with playmats could be very profitable for you.

I would buy one. What's it made of? If Cactus could make these and they were made with a softer material, like a mouse pad.... that's be freaking awesome.

There is no reason to make a new standard when everybody can just open up their rulebook and look at the picture that lies within it.

If I could thumbs down concepts instead of posts, I'd thumbs down mandatory standardization. And spandex.

Actually I have not found a way to make them profitable at all. The four I had made ran me $24 each and I am pretty sure no one would buy a playmat for that much money. I honestly don't have any desire for personal gain in this endeavor or in Redemption as a whole. If anything I would love to make these and just make them available if my funds would allow it. I am currently exploring options now with Clift's suggestions to me to see if I can't get them made for between $5 and $10 a piece and then sell them for that price...

They are on the same type of material that mousepads are made of, but only about half the thickness so they can be rolled/folede easily...

I agree, but people simply don't do that...

I know the "mandatory" word has been thrown around in this thread a bunch, but the reality is that it would be everyone's own personal choice as to whether or not they used a layout that would promote an easier recognition of what is in your territory...

i don't like playing people who have their territory set up differently then i because i always think that's what right for them is wrong for me and i can't tell what's set aside or discarded. So we should create a territory set up that is approved by most people on the boards because the person i'm playing also has that some issue and it sometimes messes up strategies and set-ups.

So...we're back to the beginning of the thread then? OK, let's start the argument over and see if going through it again will change the outcome. Ready...go!
