Based on Jeff's comments earlier, I was expecting to just see reuse of the art from the Safehold NPCs, which seems more than fine to me

My wife cuts the top off of the player mats and prints them on letter sized paper to build characters. Five tokens across fits well but six is too much. Would it be possible to arrange shirt and back so they are vertically stacked instead of side by side. I attached an example of a fighter build.

My wife absolutely loves using the mats too at the conventions, she finds them really fun!

i thought the new mats were supposed to be wider.

Hope so. Jeff might want to bust out some Tokens and load a mocked up mat before they go to print.

I absolutely love the placements on all of the tokens. They make sense in relationship to the picture and are in sequence with the order on the apps. Fantastic job to everyone for their suggestions and to Jeff for listening.

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but does Runestone really deserve a slot on the mat? It's not the only kind of turn-in-at-start token, but I guess it's the only one that a newer player is likely to find in a pack. Is that why it gets a spot on the mat? I would rather see the slot listed as "Slotless", and then it could have parenthetical for runestones, turn-in-at-start items, and other items with no slot, or something like that but worded better.

Runestone is a slotted consumable. You can only equips one runestone per adventure, unless you have the Runestone Fitting Base. That’s I think why it deserves a space. Plus, it helps make sure people remember to redeem them instead of asking about them in the first combat room. If Totem Paint had continued to be printed regularly, I would have recommended a slot on the mat for that too, but it was one and done. … or is it?

Good point.

Overall I like this layout, and the idea of different matt pictures. My suggestion would be to replace the bonus figurine spot with a column of semi-transparent grey circles each labeled "bonus" or extra. I'd try to make the shadowy circles look more optional than the rest. you could put this along the right hand side. There's enough space for 4 bonus spots.

The why: There are going to be other tokens that players are going to want to place on the mat. for instance Medallion/badge of Nobility, or start of dungeon consumables.

I know Jeff, you've got a nice symmetric design going on, so as an alternative but you could just add a column of grey bonus circles to both sides and make the mat wider. I know it costs more, but also this is one of the few times we get to pull out all of our cool tokens, why not have a place to put them.

What's on the other side of the mat? Could one side be a beginner's side, with less slots, and some helpful tips? Maybe some starter tokens build in to the mat that can be covered over with tokens, like a really basic weapon? Nevermind that last part
