I think there is a typo error in your link. I suspect mign should be ming. The latter is a dynasty; the former….well could be a Soviet fighter plane I guess?

I'm sorry, but this type of mat reminds me of shag carpet from the 1970's. But a lot of people like it and I hope you sale a lot of it.

An "audio" review of a gaming mat? I think that might be a first…

I have two of these so I can completely cover my table. I am very pleased with the look. For more pictures of my setup: link

Yeah, not to be over-PC but advertising something with 'killing fields' is a bit too indelicate. The current crop of murder, mayhem and genocide stretches all the way back to and before Vietnam etc., and clearly neither the UN nor the Planet Police* can do a damn thing about it. Rather not see it associated with 'gaming'. We've had significant backlash against gaming clubs over the years about 'war toys' etc. D *Yes I know, the only way to deny grotesque violence is to use a greater amount. But with some people you can't argue, only fight.

Yeah, OK, looks really cool, but $60 USD!!! I don't wanna on your parade but I'm retired and that is a significant price for someone like me, especially when you can find something reeeally similar for less than half that at JoAnn Fabric. Regardless, good luck in your sales and as always, "Have Fun!'.
