Get the most from your Imogen Temult playmat with a setup routine that protects the stitched edge, keeps artwork visible, and packs away without creases.
Quick answer
Lay the Imogen Temult playmat artwork-side up on a clean, dry table, smooth it from the center outward, and roll it with the artwork facing out when you pack up. That routine keeps the stitched edge flat and the portrait visible without extra gear.
Why the stitched edge changes your setup
A stitched edge playmat is built to resist fraying, but the stitching sits slightly proud of the surface. On a hard table it can catch on sleeves or slide if the mat is not fully flattened. Give yourself a few extra inches of table space on each side so the border lies flat rather than hanging over an edge.
The portrait artwork is the point of this mat, so avoid placing heavy rulebooks or dice trays directly on Imogen's face during play. A side tray keeps components off the printed area and reduces the chance of pressure marks over time.
When the mat is not the right fit
This playmat is made, fulfilled, and shipped by Ultra PRO International, and delivery is only available to physical shipping addresses within the United States. If you are outside the U.S. or need delivery to a P.O. box or freight forwarder, check the store's shipping details before ordering.
The catalog does not list mat dimensions, material thickness, or a carry tube, so measure your table and storage space first if those details matter to you. A playmat that is too large for your table will overhang and curl at the stitched border.
Your step-by-step playmat routine
- Clear and clean the table: Wipe the table with a dry or barely damp cloth and let it dry completely. Common mistake: setting the mat on crumbs or sticky residue, which transfers to the underside and can mark the artwork when rolled. Check the table is dry before unrolling.
- Unroll artwork-side up: Place the mat with the Imogen portrait facing you and smooth from the center toward the stitched edges with flat palms. Common mistake: pulling the corners to flatten curls, which stresses the stitching. Smooth inward-out, not corner-to-corner.
- Position components off the portrait: Set dice, tokens, and rulebooks beside the mat or on a side tray rather than on the printed area. Common mistake: stacking heavy books on the mat between sessions, which leaves dents in the surface. Keep heavy items off the artwork.
- Clean spills promptly: Blot liquids with a dry cloth and avoid soaking the stitched edge. Common mistake: machine washing or submerging the mat, which can break down the backing and stitching. Blot, do not soak.
- Roll with artwork facing out: Roll the mat loosely from one short end, keeping the printed side outward, and store it flat or upright. Common mistake: rolling too tightly or folding the mat, which creates permanent creases near the stitched border. Loose roll, artwork out, no folds.
