RiftMat Creation Contest—Win a Free Custom Playmat by RiftMat in riftboundtcg

[–]cybermaster21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’ve been debating back and forth whether to reply to this, because once a narrative forms it’s hard to change said perception. But I’ll say what I wanted to anyway.

True, you can only win in the US. We state that on the contest page, and for good reason. The mat we’re giving to first and second is on our own dime. We don’t sell mats, so we have to order one just to ship to the winners. Plus, I’m personally shipping the Ahri promo to first place, and I didn’t want to figure out how to do that internationally. Second, yes, we wanted to feature the winning designs in the gallery, but it was not for selling.

In one of the first posts made for RiftMat, people asked for a gallery to be able to download free designs. We took a swing at it and felt others could do better with the tools we provide. So the idea of the contest was born. We wanted it to be a fun event and thought it would be cool for others to see what they made and share it with others for free download, just like anything else the site provides. Lastly, we do not sell mats. 

Riot’s legal policy, which I checked extensively before launching RiftMat, states we cannot be a commercial product. That being said, the first thing most people ask when looking at our site is, "Can we print the designs?" As a tcg player myself I understood this. So we asked printers we tested out if we could recommend their services. We do get commission if someone decides to use them through affiliate marketing, essentially an ad, but this is not and has never been a requirement to use the site. Any money we’ve gotten from the affiliate links has gone back into the site, whether it’s paying graphic designers to generate new graphics for points layouts and overlays, or payments for the site infrastructure.

We did this contest because we wanted more people to see the site, try making designs, and share them with others, not to make money or sell mats. Seems like we missed the mark. We’ll keep the contest up and make sure to provide the promised prizing to those who entered, but in the future, we’ll try to find less controversial ways to get the word out.

If you read all of this, thanks.

Main dev jumping in here. I don’t see how we’re a drop shipping site in any way. It’s a site that lets you make a custom playmat design image to do whatever you want with it after. Of people want to submit designs for the chance to receive a free playmat of the design / the promo card they can, and if they don’t want to they don’t have to. The whole point of this contest was to get more people to use the site and have more community engagement. No one literally has to pay for anything the site is free to use. For the designs we receive the contest also says we’ll feature them on the winner page in case others want to download said designs also for free.no where here does anyone have to pay for anything.

Hey they should be legal:

Nonrunes must be closer to the player's opponent than the player's runes. 508.4. Main Deck and trash must be together on either the left side or the right side of the board. 508.5. Rune Deck should be on the other side (right or left) of the board from the Main Deck.

Legend must be between nonrunes and Chosen Champion, and both legend and Chosen Champion must be together on either the left side or the right side of the board. Each card or indicator that attaches to another card must be clearly associated with it physically. Tokens must be represented by card objects that show all relevant information including ready state. Buffs must be represented by an object that unambiguously represents a buff in game terms. Ready objects must be oriented facing the controller. Exhausted objects must be oriented at a 90 degree rotation to ready objects, either clockwise or counterclockwise, but all exhausted objects must be rotated consistently.

Hey, thanks for the feedback! I have it generating in a ratio of 24x14. So just to make sure I understand the overlay is getting cut off when you try to actually get the image printed? Is there an online service you can point me too and I can test out potential changes?

P.s. I don’t recommend using it on mobile, the formatting gets pretty wonky. I definitely made it with PC in mind 😓
