I could go either way on that one, but I believe Land of Redemption is far too important to leave off the mat. It also makes the mat look more uniform by taking up the last zone where really nothing else could possibly go. Unless we were to move sites up to its current location and extend the lost soul zone even further.
Quote from: Lamborghini_diablo on August 26, 2013, 03:48:54 PMThe last word of "Land of Redemption" requires me to shrink the font size more than I'd like in order to fit.The Land of Redemption is not "in play" and therefore really shouldn't be on the playmat anymore than "set aside" should be there. I think that it's best to leave both off and just let people put one to the left of their playmat, and one to the right.

P.S.S. First person to make a playmat based on Goat with Horn wins.
I realize this is off topic but if Gabe hosts Nationals there won't be a top cut considering he was opposed to it in every public comment I've seen. Since Prof U insinuated a bit that Gabe liked it, I just wanted to correct that.P.S. I like Lambo's first layout the most. P.S.S. First person to make a playmat based on Goat with Horn wins.
If areas not in play should be off the mat, then why would deck and discard pile be on there?
Quote from: Professoralstad on August 26, 2013, 04:46:45 PMIf areas not in play should be off the mat, then why would deck and discard pile be on there? Good point. Looking back at the rulebook placements, I suppose you could have the "fortress" section go vertical instead of horizontal, and put the "discard pile" above the "draw pile". That would make all the "out of play" stuff in one column on the far right (LoR is already there on top). You could even put a line down cutting that area off, to show that it is out of play.The main problem that I see with that is that it would make the most sense to have the "good fortress" part next to the heroes, and the "evil fortress" part next to the ECs. But that would shove the artifacts all the way to the bottom of the mat where they would be the hardest for an opponent to see.I had such hope that it would be possible to design a perfect way to set up the territory. I think I'm losing hope.
I can cut heroes and EC's down to six cards wide, and add a single slot for a fortress like I did with sites.

I could box in Rescued Souls, a set aside indicator pointing off the mat, Deck, and Discard to indicate they are not in play, then maybe split artifacts into active and face down piles?
I do like that one alot now after seeing it. Good/Evil/Sites blends perfectly within its respective zones. Land of Redemption is able to be fully realized. Only thing I do not like is the out of play text/line. Can you add transparency to it to make it more subtle? It may not even be really necessary actually.Is Artifact Pile more opaque than the other descriptors?
The out of play line that extends to the right of the mat goes all the way to the edge. Looks funky that way, could be shortened to line up with the right-most boundary of artifact pile/lor/discard, just like the out of play line extends towards the bottom of the mat.

Minor nitpick, it's TM, not (R) While that looks great, I may stick with the original color scheme for now.
