[QUOTE="cuteasaurus, post: 2448684, member: 31597"] Being at a high-table gives me a lot more "access" to the map. When you're on a couch you're far away from the gaming surface and you have to bend over to move things (minis and the like). And, since you're on a couch and having to use your lap as your place space (books, sheets, etc) everytime you have to get up to move a mini, you have to move all your things. With a regular table the map is right there, your character sheet and dice can be right in front of you and if you need to have books, they can be kinda propped up on your lap, in between you and the table. (Hmm this is hard to describe, hopefully you guys understand what I'm saying.) In short, the higher table provides: 1) hard surface for dice and character sheets 2) easy access to map 3) more "community" feel (since ppl are closer together and you can see what ppl are doing) 4) and a huge decrease in the amount of "shuffling around" I have to do Honestly, I can't find any advantage to a lower set-up except that often the seating associated with it is couches and thus is squishy-er. I've been in enough squishy chairs to think that the added level of squish just isn't worth it. But, like I said before, it is your guys' set-up, so do whatever makes you happy. [/QUOTE]
