[QUOTE="FoxWander, post: 6647, member: 1356"] I'll be rearranging my house soon and plan to turn the downstairs family room into a gaming room and figured this would be the best place to get advice on what the best setup might be. I really want to make a room that has both a good gaming atmosphere and is setup the best possible way for ease and enjoyment of gaming. Some of my specific musings concern... What's the perfect gaming table? - A whiteboard surface with etched grid? Easy to get to for moving minis/counters but can be awkward to write on. - Gridsheet under plexiglass? Same as above, but character sheets and notes can be tucked under glass to protect from drinks, etc. - Normal table with whiteboard/grid on the wall? Easier to write on but how to stick minis/counters to it. Should I use a table at all? - A table can keep players focused but can be uncomfortable for long sessions. - Sitting on recliners and sofas is more comfy but may be too comfy. Lack of focus, need character sheet and dice rolling surfaces, no easily accessible map for ease of combat. Gameroom snacks? - Start a group snack fund or fend for yourselves? These are just what I can come up with after being awake all night. Please hurl as many comments and suggestions as your carpal tunnel can stand! What would YOU like to have in the perfect gaming room?? [/QUOTE]
