[QUOTE="Funeris, post: 2657132, member: 22792"] I've got two fold out tables (see above pics) - one four feet long and the other six feet. They're stacked side-by-side with one of their widths flush against my dining room table (a hexagon). The dining room table then bridges a gap...connecting to my filing cabinet (where character sheets and some info is kept). My computer desk then runs perpendicular to the alignment of the fold out tables. What you end up with is basically an "L". There's enough room to get to the filing cabinet (if need be...which isn't often). The computer desk obviously holds the laptop and pencil sharpener I use...as well as the scanner/printer/copier, in the event I need to use that (which [b]is[/b] often). I typically have a number of pregenerated maps printed out to scale for them (I work in an engineering firm...so its nothing to pop out a 3' x however long foot plot with the 1" = 5' grid on it). These maps are then labeled and set to the side. As I need 'em, I grab 'em. The players remove the current map and tape down the new one. I also have mini-maps (8.5" x 11") often in a pdf format as well as paper copy (in the event I misplace the paper copy...this is another common occurence). All handouts are preprinted and kept with the mini-maps. Half of the dining room table is mine...and is clearly marked off by a large binder. The remaining 5-7 players can use whatever space they need...as long as they can adjust for the incoming maps. And my digital voice recorder rests in the center of my players. I keep multiple copies of everything. I can be absentminded at times and throw stuff away without realizing its importance. Oh, and all my DnD books are arrayed around my position as well. There's also a constant link to the SRD (for speed). ~Fune [/QUOTE]
