[QUOTE="The Little Raven, post: 4463038, member: 10095"] I'm working with my brother-in-law, who is a contractor, on designing a gaming table for my group. I've looked around on the net and found a couple of "Ultimate Gaming Tables" to give me some ideas, but I thought it would be best to get some input from the myriad gamers found here. I plan on posting the final plans for it on this site after we finalize it's features and begin prototyping. [url=http://www.ultimategamingtable.org/]The Ultimate Gaming Table[/url] - Here's one from a few years back, which is my primary source of inspiration. [url=http://www.agyris.net/v3/ugt/]Agyris - Fantasy RPG Campaign Setting - Free and Universal Gaming[/url] - Here's another one with additional features that seem cool. Drawing on the two of those and asking a few of my players what they thought it should have, I've come up with a list of basic features I want to put into it. - Basic dimensions of 8' long by 4' wide. - Highly polished galvanized steel plate with a painted on 1-inch grid, topped with a .06" thick plexiglass sheet to cover grid to allow easy writing/drawing. (Galvanized steel specifically so we can use our Alea Tools markers without problems.) - A tabletop "lip" to prevent dice and things from rolling off the table, as well as to provide a place for recessed lighting to help illuminate the grid. - Player stations with a primary slide-out drawer/shelf to hold character sheets, with recessed lighting to help reading. - A secondary slide-out drawer with a cup holder and a dice holder/separator. - Storage cabinets to hold books and other miscellaneous items. - A GM station at the head of the table, lighting control for the tabletop, and all the features of a player station. (Any computer-based station would be separate from the table itself.) Anyone got any ideas or features? I really want to make this the best gaming table my money and physical labor can buy. [/QUOTE]
