I would put Land of Redemption above the Artifact pile and Set aside area.

A couple people have mentioned that they would prefer the artifact pile to be at the front, so that it's harder to miss. We all know how obnoxious it is when you forget your opponent has Unholy Writ active.  :D

Or, more painfully, when your opponent has RBD active and you play Mayhem...

There should be at least 3 options. Perhaps:

Guardian of Your Souls
Angel of the Lord (classic art)
Grapes of Wrath

Provided I can get print quality artwork, I'm all for it.

Like it a lot, really looks like a Top Cut mat with the shiny gold and everything. Glad Artifact Pile went back to 1, most people stack it in one 'pile' anyways.

I still do not have the full res version of this image, so I had to modify Daniel's image above for this preview.
Thank you so much for putting these ideas together.  As for my opinion on the latest version...

Totally Wicked!

I know this may be asking too much, but could someone take that latest GoYS version and put it into the right size dimensions (and flip a mirror image, etc.) for an RTS background?

That wouldn't be too difficult to do.

On second thought, the playmat layout will not work well with RTS as is. Reason being: you can't fit 3 rows of cards into a territory on smaller screens. That and there's no need for Deck, Discard, or Land of Redemption on the RTS background.  :P

Instead, I could rebuild this general layout to look like the playmat.

Could you do that setup but with the solid GoYS picture as the background, and only having the sections labeled with the transparent look like we've been seeing?

Ok, so since my thread blew up and everyone has finally decided that we do like the idea:  Is anyone pursing making these?  I'm was planning on talking to a good friend of mine to see if his company could make them.  So couple of questions had anyone talked to Rob about seriously making these and second, do they have enough money to get this off the ground?

This seems pretty easy.  They could just do a KickStarter thing where people could pay ahead of time for one, and if enough got bought, then the project would be fully funded and would happen.  If not, then no one is out any money :)

Hey Lambo,

What dimensions are your playmat?  What size would it have to be to hold all the stuff we are talking about?

Well I'm going to talk to my friend about the possibility of making these.  If someone else is seriously pursuing this please let me know!

Well, sad news. I asked Rob about the GoYS image...  he bought the rights to use it on just the 4th edition box, meaning it'd cost $250 to use it on this.  :(

He approves the general project though. Whoever ends up getting these made should get the final go-ahead from him.

Spoiler (hover to show)

Just save this to your RTS folder, then go to Options --> Background --> Custom, find the file, and you're set. Note, the dimensions may look off depending on your monitor's aspect ratio.

This must be my problem, because my cards seem to be too tall for the rectangles.

I'd also like to see the artwork from some of the Jamison Services series be made in playmats. Maybe, Search for example.

I'm new to this game and I was wondering if the playmat came to be yet? I love some of the designs here.

I still have yet to get high res artwork that we have the rights to use.

Well lets look at this pragmatically, Does anyone here have manufacturer ties and can get a rough estimate of cost per item vs order size(IE. how much per at at an order of 50, 10, 200, etc.)?  We already have a known cost of $250 to get the high res art work.  The only other cost should be the cut for those who do the graphics work(they absolutely should get something), and the cut for the investors who make it happen, and if cactus wants anything.

I guess the only thing we needs to know is how much manufacturing costs will be, I think the rest is tractable.
