#soberoctober day 26: playmat plans

I mentioned Inked Gaming in #soberoctober25 and their custom playmat service.

I’ve come up with an design for my own playmat. Or at least, the plan for a design; if my past forays into digital art are any indication, there will be a lot of sweat and tears before I’ve got a finished file that I’m happy with.

The plan:

• Take SVG images of the Go Gopher.
• Tint the gophers with the five colors of MTG mana.
  
• Ideally: bling the gophers out with things that represent those colors - a skull for black, fire for red, elf ears for green, sunglasses for blue, angel wings for white
• Place the gophers in a circle around the middle of the playmat.
  
• Draw lines connecting various color pairs/triads.
• Label the lines with the names of the corresponding tribes.
  

• Off to the side, place this code to reference parts of a turn:

  func turn() {
    beginning: {
      untap()
      upkeep()
      draw()
    }
    main1: {
      if !landThisTurn {
        playLand()
      }
      castSpells()
    }
    combat: {
      begin()
      declareAttackers()
      declareBlockers()
      combatDamage()
      end()
    }
    main2: {
      if !landThisTurn {
        playLand()
      }
      castSpells()
    }
  
    end: {
      endStep()
      cleanupDmg()
    }
  }
