[QUOTE="univoxs, post: 8126963, member: 6668320"] Oh the experiments in gaming my group has made. We made a touch board with a projector and cannibalized Wii remotes. The map was projected from the ceiling and the software running was Cartographer 3 I believe. This was before roll20. We used silicon to take molds of miniatures and then melted crayons into these molds. This gave us orcs and goblins that, when killed, could be smashed with a fist! We fiddled with papercraft stuff but found it too...fiddly. My buddy has a laser cutting table he made. As well as three 3d printers. A lot of strange things were produced, most of them useless to be honest. When my brother moved out of state we set up a webcam that could rotate so he could look around the room and battle mat, the glare off the vinyl was horrendous. The best gaming table, to me, has always been a pool table with a vinyl cover because the dice can't roll off the table! And if you are brave, the pockets make built in cup holders. I got into making terrain for the wargame Burrows & Badgers all thanks to the wonderful [URL='https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx_aro8CTHw7ZD5H661hC6Q']Mel the Terrain Tutor[/URL]. I highly recommend him because he is also into penny pinching. I keep my kit for terrain in a large tub so that I can take it with me when I got to play. Inside the tub are other smaller tubs for the terrain and for miniatures. All my tools and what-not's are in there too. My game book shelf is still expanding. The shelf itself is a 7th sin wine display from a grocery store in the shape of a coffin. The GF hates it with a passion but it fits all my games nicely. I often wonder what people with no game experiance what-so-ever think these enormous books are. [/QUOTE]
