If you had $10,000 that could only be spent on gaming material, what would you want? How would you trick out your game?

I would develop a rpg to my taste and hire professional writers, editors, and artists to give it form ala print and ecopy.

What about if you had $100,000? A million?

I cover my gaming group's living expenses so we can all game 2-3 times a week together.

10k I'd do up a room in the house as game room,

100k Add aroom to the house as a game room and create a custom touch based game table a la MS Surface buy loads of minis and games that I have always wanted but could not affoard.

1mil as above but work on the gametable software with a view to realising it plus fund my friends and myself to Gencon

room 30x50

lots of adjustable lighting

AC (no fans- bad for loose papers)

comfy chairs

fridge well stocked from everything from water to soda to beer

shelves full of books, accessories and fantasy / sci-fi stuff

cabinents full of various figures and stuff

dungeon tiles and battle mats upgrade to Dwarven Forge 3-D (thousands of pieces)

goodtimes

(oh and free time to utilize these)

 

[GlassJaw]

1. Buy a house with a dedicated game room.

2. Buy a huge wooden table.

3. Buy enough Dwarven Forge stuff to recreate all of Rappan Athuk.

If I had lots of money I would fly in the best possible DM for me and my friends until the money run out

I'd just like a quality laptop with some good speakers and a soundtrack budget so I could have background music on cue.

Forget a soundtrack budget. If money was no object, I'd want a small, well-trained orchestra on stand-by so that they could produce music on the fly to match the mood and pace of the game.

If you had million?

What would you do?

A million dollars to spend on gaming? Whoo hoo !!!

I guess this is going to give my age away, but I would invest the money in some kind of stock fund that had an 8-10% return, then with an annual budget of let's say $90,000 I would hire a DM to come and be my personal GM for like $75,000 a year, so at 30 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, that would be about $50 an hour if I still have any math skills left. Pretty good pay for writing adventures and living in wine country here in the Sierra foothills, in the mighty metropolis that is Placerville, CA. population 15,000.

Then I would invite all the local gamers over to my place to game. The left over $15k a year would go for take out chinese food or pizza.

We could have one weeknight and one weekend day of pure bliss, with our own private, professional DM. Oh man, would that be heaven !!!

And no, I wouldn't buy any stinky old computer games with it

Give me live RPing, with a variable game world and an intelligent GM over any preprogrammed railroaded path any day. But then I am old and set in my ways, so that would be my dream gaming situation.

Wish my brother were on here, he and his son are WoW fanatics, they would probably have it converted to their own personal cray with a T3 line going into their house so they would have the response time of a ninja on speed.

$10,000 buy a set of several different rpg books for every school and public library in the state.

$100,000 as above, plus publish the system I have been designing for awhile.

$1,000,000 as above, plus build a house with a gaming stadium with the equipment and materials necessary to play just about any game you want to play with your friends and family. Rent it out on the cheap as a fun "staycation" for families.

I wonder how much it would cost to buy one copy of every gaming product out there?
