Message: <blockquote data-quote="Talic" data-source="post: 2276273" data-attributes="member: 27838">We built a non-standard gaming table. It is halfround too. The players take the edge of the circle, as you said. and the DM has a mini station that pulls out from under the table along the long side.  The advantage to this setup is that it better focuses all of the players attention on the DM, not across the table at the antics of another player.The table has an upper tier which has a piece of plexi over a grid laid flush with the table top. Makes it very easy for all to see and reach the board. A lower tier on the outer edge is about 15 inches deep for each player to have room for books, character sheets, dice rolls, etc. and helps keep things organized and away from the map. The workmanship and materials is kida on the poor side, but it was a fairly cheap build, and it works well. There are several simple improvements we plan to make when we have time, such as adding dice pits which can double as beverage holders, a narrow basket or slot at each station for books, and a tack board for each station.If I loaded these images correctly, you can see the thing under construction as I seem to have lost the completed photos. But at least you get the idea. -The first image is the DM station. about 24x36 inches of space. The walls stick up about 2 inches higher than the top tier of the main talble and are hinged to fold down for easy storage under the main table.-Second image shows the players table configuration. Not truely half-round as there are 5 stations with their angled faces toward the center.-Entire thing was built on about $100 using two 4x8 sheets of melamine(very durable, no finish required, but a tough cut), a 24x36 sheet of plexiglass, bunch of bolts and brackets, and a dozen or so 2x4s (for legs, support, etc.)</blockquote>
