Medieval Inspiration: Bayeux Tapestry

Thinking this would be a good format for a minimal rules text. Tapestry. I suppose it COULD be virtual, but I would prefer to roll this thing out at the table.

I did not know about this tapestry, it is very cool, and long.


oh it’s even got low detail marginalia dragons

I love the cross section between low pixel count art and tapestries. its kinda… the same thing.

I can’t even imagine the cost to produce something like this, but I love the idea of a game tapestry! Or an adventure/module presented on one.

it would certainly be a labor of love to make one for real. printing on cloth isn’t that expensive, but wouldn’t be quite as satisfying.

now suddenly I am thinking it would be great to print a campaign map on a blanket and hang it on a wall. 50"x60" only costs 60 bucks on Vistaprint.

I think even a printed tapestry could be pretty striking. Not as awesome as an embroidered one, but still pretty cool.

A custom map blanket sounds sick.

oh, hold the phone. print on demand jacquard loom blankets? I feel like I gotta try this.
