The Best Gaming Table

[Mistwell]

If you could have on of these tables for your gaming needs, which would you choose?

1) The Sultan Gaming Table (Video here. More pics here.)

2) The Ultimate Gaming Table (more pics here).

3) The BSG Command Plotting Table (some more pics from the show here)

If anyone has pictures of their gaming table, that would be fun to see.

And, if anyone has comments on why they voted they way they did, that would be interesting as well.

The Sultan is very pretty, and I'd take it in a heartbeat...

But I voted Ultimate because it is overly geeky and made of
awesome. The only negative is the smaller battle space. That
is were the Sultan rules.

That BSG thing is a joke, get your modern day Sci-Fi off my lawn,
ya young whipper-snapper.

Although not as fancy as the tables shown, I like ours. It has a larger gaming surface than any of these and with a group our size, that's important. Since the Sultan is closest of the ones shown I'll vote there.

As a side note: I very nearly owned the Agyris table. The owner ebayed it a couple of years ago. I saw the listing the day after it sold for much less than I would have been willing to pay. Ah well.

As a DM, I'd want to game on the Ultimate Table. The DM station has much more usable space, and personally I like the aesthetics. But overall I think the Sultan is a bit more practical for a group. Plus, it has a higher WAF than the Ultimate, so that's how I voted.

Gimme a plain dinning room table, mismatched chairs, and my friends

That makes a good game table

In my fantasy house, the one with the dedicated gaming room, I have a special gaming table. Since it's a fantasy, I might as well wish for the Sultan. But realistically, if I can ever convince my wife to let me have a game room, I could probably also convince my dad to build me the Ultimate Gaming Table.

I voted other. Mainly because when we move next month I'm actually going to be getting a D&D room so I've been giving the idea of a dedicated gaming table some thought.

I've been working on a design for my own. I like the look of Darkwolf's though I'm going to see if I can create some sort of recessed battlemat area so if I do use his design as a guideline it will no doubt be modified.

The Sultan is very pretty, but honestly my gaming room will be in the basement so a 10,000 dollar piece of furniture would be overkill.

The BSG table... I dunno. I don't watch BSG.

The "ultimate" table is really cool looking and has lots of gee-gaws, but I doubt I'd use most of them.

For me, the best table is something small and simple that we can all sit around, can safely spill drinks on, and that doesn't take up more room than it has to.

My philosophy is always that simpler is better.

I voted for the Ultimate. I like that the player and dm stations have lighting. I like lowering the lighting when running horror games but the only problem with this is that the players can no longer read their character sheets. The Ultimate neatly takes care of that problem.

The one that we use (that one of my players built) is fantastic. It doesn't have anything fancy... it is just huge with the largest battlemat that I have ever seen. We'll be adding two more players at my next session for a total of 8 people around the table. This makes a large table a necessity.
