This is the coolest and highest class gaming table I have ever seen. Not only is it usable for RPGs, but would also be ideal for tabletop wargaming (another hobby of mine):

"...now, if only there was money pouring out of our asses..."
I know. Digging into their site, the basic version is just under $10K with no bells and whistles. If I had cash coming out of my butt, $15K would be an easy amount to spend on this.
White boards... your choice of maps under that erasable plexi... place for stuff and books. WOW! Makes me want that gaming loft above the garage with that table in the center.
Good question. They had one of these on display at Gen Con 2008. I found it ironic that everyone wanted one, but I didn't see any orders being taken. (They may well have taken orders for a dozen or more. I only looked at it for about 10 minutes.)

I'd be afraid to let anyone near it, in case it gets scratched.
Everyone would be required to wear a protective smock to keep anything that might scratch it away (belt buckles, buttons, metal dice, etc.).
I'd rather build my own out of materials I'd be less worried about. And then I'd use the money I saved for a built-in, dedicated computer network and a horizontally mounted, large flat screen TV for maps.

I checked it out at GenCon and actually asked them about sales.........one of the booth guys told me they had already taken several orders during the show.
I don't know how well sales would hold up in the current economic times.....seems like the ultimate gaming luxury item. Funny though, I had the same thought as the original poster's thread title. People pay that for pool tables all the time. (Working on my justification)
I imagine a group of well-heeled gamers dressed in tuxedoes imbibing cognac and single malt scotch while gathered around the Sultan for a rousing game of Diplomacy.
I sure wish I was one of those guys....

Seriously, I'd love to come up with something like that. The materials used in construction appear to be the best possible.
