[QUOTE="Uller, post: 1429729, member: 413"] We game in two different places: at my house we play at the dining room table. At the other house, in the living room with the players on couches and the DM at a card table...While sitting on a couch is very comfy, in my experience the relaxed atmosphere leads to players being distracted. There are a lot more side conversations and distractions when the players are too comfortable. YMMV of course. All of this is obviously contingent on the style of the group and DM. I prefer the "wargame" aspect of important combats and I don't care that it is illogical for a PC to have a "god's eye view" of the battlefield (of course, the DM can hide those foes that the PCs are unaware of). Our battles run plenty quickly. Players have only one character to worry about in the battle and can usually quickly decide what to do on their turn. If they take too long, I move them along with a "Well?" [/QUOTE]
