GameMastery Flip-Mat: City Market

This Flip Mat looks fantastic and may be more versitile than you imagined. Looking at your preview it looks like I can use my MapPack; Village-Market Place to overlay the central portion of the map and create different market layouts. (Preferably with the PC's chasing a thief through the market that is now different then they remember.) Was this intentional? (If it was not, somebody should take credit anyways.) You might want to think about making another Map pack with smaller size shops than your Map Pack: City that can fit on the Flip Mat:City Market. Then the whole thing can be customizable. (I might buy a second flip mat and a scissors and do it myself) Nice synergy between your products also.

This is my second flip-map purchase, and I am concerned about my ability to get full utility from it.

How do you get them to lay flat nicely? The bending required for packaging and storing makes it so it doesn't want to lay flat. Which makes it hard to use in conjunction with our miniatures.

And we're not using prepainted plastic. These are real pewter minis and they have some weight to them (though some aren't that well balanced to begin with).

Any suggestions from others who have bought this product?

The key here is to reverse the folds that the map originally has. If you do this a few times (folding it back and forth), it should lay nice and flat.

Hope that helps.

On game day an hour or so before everyone gets here I take out all my Flip-Maps and do as Jason suggested and then put then lay them down the opposite way of the fold on a flat hard surface. I might even put something like my remote controls on them to make sure they flatten out.

By the time my players arrive my maps are ready to go and I throw out there whatver I need for that day. I used this one for the opening scene of Burnt Offerings.

Enjoy

I would be interested in having an index to the various shops, especially if there are user submissions so I could flip the mat around and use it in more than one city, but with different encounters/NPCs. I cannot necessarily tell what each building/stall is a picture of, although some of them are more easily-identifiable than others.

I would agree on the color , the dirt brown sort from the basic map seems perfect to me but now I don't have to draw buildings as much.
What is the likelyhood of getting "cutouts" to use for various shops ? This theory could also be used for the Ship so one can have naval battles.

The reverse side looks blurred in parts.

Is this just the image or is the blurring on the actual flip-mat too?

The print edition status is "Unavailable". Does that mean "Out of Print", or something else?

It means out of print and no longer in stock (in this case). We typically do not reprint our Flip-Mats, but we do often come out with newer maps that are thematically similar.

Can we lighten the gray a bit? I find the back side very hard to use with the grey on black coloration.

@ Liz: thank you for the clarification! :)

Another one I'd love to see in the Classics line.

Please add to the Classics line.

This is the last flip mat I need to complete my collection. I hope it can be worked into the Classics someday.

Another vote to have this one make it into the Classics line.

I don't think we'll ever see this flip-mat being reprinted.

I was wrong, the Reprint is coming in march 2020. ;-)

Booyah! Birthday present for me!

Oh, thank god. Still a super long time away though.

Huzzah! It'll be an early birthday present for me, as well!
