Busy Town R3
We're making it out of the town with these ones.
Discord (https://discord.gg/kNJu3UX9Kn) | IC Form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeTb--Zir0LZ3n9gewx7Z0fGb67VflYzMYQdLXp82lq2tmPHw/viewform?usp=sf_link)
It's been a while, and while I don't usually like to revisit the same design I think it's time to make an exception with this one. I've received many requests since R2 ended to offer this again, so here we are.
This time I'd like to offer a few more choices however, as with R2 it was a very limited offering of only the rough texture in the single design.
Potential Options
All mats will be offered in rough texture, it feels and looks better. It's also consistently been by far the best selling option.

First up we have the returning 900x400 size. However this time I've two extra colorways prepared for some more muted options.
A beige and a greyscale felt fitting for this community, I'm personally extremely fond of the beige.

Next up we have a TKL mat. Same colours as before but a different size.
This one is 385 x 171mm. Chosen to cover most TKLs on the market with a little extra peaking out :eek:

And finally, a 60% mat. Once again the same colours are shown here.
This time we've got 315 x 140mm. Same deal as before, should show a little around the edges.
Pricing
900 x 400mm sized mats would be priced around the $20-25 mark, as was the same with R1 and R2
For the smaller mats this should scale quite heavily downwards, due to the lower cost of freight due to decreased weight. Will need to organise quotes to finalise pricing.

Thoughts
At this stage this is VERY much an interest check. I'm in the process of deciding on which options to run.
Personally I'm leaning towards all three colours in the full size mat, then one or two in the other sizes, but the IC response will really dictate that.
Please fill out the IC form and give any feedback you can, I'm including a long answer section at the bottom in case you've any thoughts or suggestions that aren't displayed in the IC.
To-do
Review IC feedback
Get quotes for different sizes
Pick which designs to run
Order samples of any new options
Organise vendors
Organise GB
I know that light theme is not popular nowadays, but anyways it's a bad idea to change default font color on forums.
