[QUOTE="Altalazar, post: 1389984, member: 939"] I built my house around my gaming area. I'm only half-joking. I have a ranch with a finished basement - I designed the house myself. I had others who actually know what they are doing build it. In the basement there is a huge, 15'x30' central rec room, comfortably carpeted, well-lit (window and 8' long sliding glass door to the back yard) that I use for gaming. It has two 96" by 36" tables set side by side. (Or maybe they are a little longer than that). Then at the end there is another table, 3' by 6' or so. So as DM, I sit at that end with multiple screens in front of me and then plenty of space on the "side" table for additional books and notes. The surrounding perimeter has enough space to comfortably seat probably up to 8 players, though that is probably too many for regular gaming anyway. With six, everyone has a large amount of space. The center of the two joined tables is covered by a battle grid of large size, where the miniatures are placed. Oh, and I have another table in the corner where I paint my miniatures and a long shelf along the walls facing the back yard where I store my miniatures and paints when not on the table. The study, which is 12x15', is off of the rec room and has four bookcases - two of which are filled with all of my gaming books (the are floor to ceiling, almost). So that is ready for handy reference, since I don't bring out all of my books to the table every session. That room also has my four networked computers, which I do use to set things up, but don't use while actually playing. Yes, I live in the house of the super-geek. The opposite side of the rec room is my fourth bedroom (the first three are upstairs) and that is actually rented right now to a student who decided she wanted somewhere cheap to live that wouldn't require signing a year-long lease. But now I've left gaming territory, so I will leave it at that. [/QUOTE]
