Hello everyone, I have posted an in depth guide for how to make a simple European style gaming mat. It is quick, cheep, and simple but looks damn good. So if you liked my earlier article on making an arid gaming mat, you will sure love this one. link |

Very nice! I have often wondered which material would make the best gaming mat--felt, flannel, or a sheet. |

I use cheap thin green carpet.
The type with like 2 mil of foam underneath.
Club tables have regular carpet on them. We used to use carpet underlay.
The kind with brown paper under it. Brown paper up.
You can paint it easily and put books or whatever under to make hills.
Previous to that the underneath of flooring vinyl.
It's rough and takes paint well.
Previous to that my Mum's old thick cotton sheet.
That took paint very well. |
