If IKEA Made a Dedicated Gaming Table, Would You Buy It?

[Jack of Shadows]

Just some pie in the skying here,

If you could buy a prefab gaming table would you? What would you want it to do? How big would you want it? Please add your comments.

It'd have to be pretty cheap, and provide a lot of utility. Not a combination I see as all that likely, but if they managed it, I'd certainly consider it.

It would have to be pretty big. We use a large long wooden table, two long folding tables and two small tables right now.

If it had the D&D logo I would probably buy it. I would buy a yellow dog if it was wearing a D&D logo.

I have no idea who IKEA is.

I'd like to see a fairly wide table (> 40") with a whiteboard tabletop. Possibly even a think white board sheet (or 2 half size for ease) that can be flipped with a grid on one side and blank on the other. Around the outside, it would be nice to have a set of trays for dice, pencils, and cups kind of like the way poker tables have them along the perimeter for chips.

If it weren't a piece of junk, sure. There stuff is pretty hit-or-miss though.

Hi,

Since almost everything in our house is from Ikea, I voted yes.

Cheers

If reasonably priced and had good utility, yes. I'm thinking along the lines of the "World's Greatest Gaming Table", except not quite as heavy. By this I mean stations for each player with a nice big surface on top, and a larger area for the DM.

Sounds good to me. If it had player-niches (like the Agyris table), that'd be even better.

Of course, the GM side has to have some extras to it.

I voted no. It's been many many years since I've hosted a game at my house, and while it would be nice to convert my dad's old office into a game room, my gaming life simply isn't rich enough to warrant doing that. Plus, I've grown far too used to gaming in the living room, sitting on the couch and putting the battlemat on the coffee table or on the floor. It's comfy! Playing at a table feels weird now.
