paizo.com - GameMastery Flip-Mat: Tavern

HI Paizo folks,

Just a question, the product description says "The Flip side features rolling grassland and a mysterious clump of rocks". But you can't really see it on the product picture.

Sorry to say, but it sounds to me like "the flip side is empty but colored green". Could you say a bit more about this?

Is this really just featureless grass with one square of stone? Or is there more to the flip side than that?

Hey Bocklin:

I take it you have never bought a flip mat before. :) No worries. All flip mats come with one side that is printed with a cool map-type piece of art. This is the side that the harried DM who needs a tavern, or town square, or forest path, or pre-made dungeon uses. The other side of all of these flip mats is a textured blank side that the DM can use like a battlemat. The only difference between the flip mat and the battlemat (besides the fact that you can use any type of marker and not have it stick forever) is that the flipmat has the textured back. In my experience, I use the flip side when I have an encounter that takes place in that type of terrain and I draw it out by hand like I normally would on my battlemat.

Hi Lisa,

I never bought such a product, indeed. It's much clearer now!

Thanks a lot for the prompt reply.

There is a cluster of stones in one of the corners of the flip side, and some spots throughout the area that suggest the grassland is, at least in some places, a paved area that's almost completely overgrown. You can see these features if you click the product's picture and look at the large photo.

Hi - do you know of any retailers in Great Britain who sell this product?
