RPG GAME ROOM - Lets see where you play your favorite games.

Hey guys,

I am sure there are other threads with this discussion in mind.

Just think of this thread as an update to the older threads.

With that said, Heres a pic of my RPG GAME ROOM:

It basically is a game table with a projector on the inside that bounces an image off a mirror and onto a frosted Plexi-Glass table surface which acts essentially like a 3ft x 3ft. computer monitor. The projector gets the image from my laptop which uses a software called D20Pro. D20Pro is a Virtual TableTop that is generally used by people who want to play a vareity of Paper-and-Pencil RPG's via the internet. Nice little piece of software. (d20Pro Virtual Game Table - Online Pen & Paper Tabletop Gaming) I personally use D20Pro just for projecting Battlemaps onto the game table.

I also use a software called Blue Soleil which allows my laptop to recognize a Wii-Mote that acts like a signal reciever for an infra-Red pen. the infra-red pen acts like a mouse after I use Smoothboard. Smoothboard is a software that allows the game tables monitor surface to be mapped out in a manipulatable area where the infra-red pen can be used.

It sounds difficult but its really quite easy. (This coming from a guy who is somewhat computer literate.)


You can get most of these softwares for free but I suggest paying for them so you get all the needed updates and the softwares are wayyyy easier to use in thier non-demo form.



Lets see your GAME ROOMS.............

I don't have enough large spaces in my house that I can dedicate one to gaming, with specialized furniture or the like. I use my dining room, with a pretty normal dining room table. Not special enough for a picture.

So the next time you guys play, take a picture of everyone at the table with all the game paraphenilia displayed proudly.

I play in this pub (none of these people are me):

You may have hi-tech projector systems, but we have girls! B)

I would rather have the hi-tech projector system.

On topic i would show a picture of my gaming table but then people would think im a hobo :< it is 2 very large carboard boxes put togther. We do how ever have a large amount of minatures and books which make up for it!

I'm with Umbran, we play in a typical living room with a small coffee table and some fold TV tray type things for those not near the table. Not the most impressive, but its been our gaming home for the past 6 years or so.

I was going to work on a basement project this summer to get things cleaned up and get a dedicated gaming room down there in order to entice people to drive down to my place which is a bit out of the way. But some things came up over the summer that took me away from that project. Maybe I will start it back up again this winter.
