[QUOTE="Gargoyle, post: 6953, member: 529"] I use a bonus room over my garage as my office and game room. I bought my wife a new dining room set a year or so ago and commandeered the old kitchen table, a plain wooden rectangular table that seats six, with six plain straightback wooden chairs. I agree with the above post about seating: Upright seating that isn't too comfortable is the way to go. I've also got a futon and some leather office chairs for additional seating. The futon doubles as a bed for guests. A fold-out card table sometimes provides extra room for big games. We measured the table, went to a home improvement store, and had a piece of plexiglass cut to size. We have a Chessex hex grid mat and some combat reference sheets underneath the plexiglass, but we've found that we really don't use the underlying hex map. Instead, we buy a large pad of grid paper, meant for using on easels at Office Max, and lay that on top for use with miniatures. The paper has a lot of advantages. I draw tactical maps on it ahead of time, speeding up play, and keep the maps after use, if they're not too marked up with notes and drawings of spell effects. if the players return to the same place, I just pull out the same map. And it's not messy like grease pencils or dry erase markers. I still have a whiteboard, useful for keeping track of initiative. Bookshelves store my gaming stuff for easy access. Two computers on desks provide internet access and occassional mood music. I have a half-sized refrigerator as well. A must. Plans for the game room/office: - I need more storage and display space for miniatures and want to get a display cabinet eventually. - I'm going to have bathroom installed in the attic. - I have literally hundreds of Star Wars action figures (No sir, I didn't see you playing with your dolls again! :) ) standing all over the place, and I need to put them in a display cabinet. - Running out of bookshelf space. Eventually, I'm going to build a separate building out back. It will feature two offices, a storage area, and a huge gaming room/conference room/entertainment room. I may be an old man by the time it's done, but it will happen... [/QUOTE]
