[QUOTE="Herpes Cineplex, post: 1709771, member: 16936"] Another "table? what table?" reporting in. We play in a living room. Typically whoever's running the game sits on a cushion at the coffee table, facing the big L-shaped sectional sofa. Books and notes tend to be piled to either side of the GM, and dice tend to be rolled on the coffee table. If the GM uses a laptop, it's on the coffee table too. We have two whiteboards (one small, one larger) if the GM wants to use it to sketch out an area, but most of our GMs usually just scrawl it on some paper and either pass it around or hold it up so players can crowd around and look at it. We have three players who typically use the sofa, one at each corner; they roll dice on books set on the cushion next to them (or in the case of one player, on a lap-desk). They usually just put food on the coffee table, if they use it at all. Just off the outside edge of the couch and coffee table is where another player sits on the floor. A few feet to his left is where I usually sit, on a cushion or sprawled out on the floor, with a dining room table just behind me. Though actually, I get up and move around a lot. Light is provided by a big window and (as evening approaches) by three or four lamps around the room. One of our regular GMs keeps complaining that he wants to sit around a table and use a nifty GM screen, but three of our players (including me) just mock him for it. Lounging around the room like that is more comfortable than jamming the six of us around a table, plus it saves our friends the trouble of having to clear off that table in the first place. Since we don't use mats or miniatures for any games, there really isn't anything we [i]need[/i] a table for. -- and i'm really bad at sitting in chairs like a normal person anyway ryan [/QUOTE]
