[QUOTE="dark2112, post: 98015, member: 3503"] You know, our gaming room in our house (3 roommates, all 3 of us are gamers) is actually fairly close to that now. The room isn't 10x10 meters, it's more like 15x15 feet (so 5x5 meters, give or take). Our chairs need a little work, but they are the right height (they're being replaced eventually... we just need a freezer first). As for the table, we've got a raised platform for mini's that's going to have a grid painted into it, with a clear-coat painted on top, so we can use dry erase markers on it without any problems. The DM's corner takes up the space of about 2 or 3 people, because he's got the computer, printer, and built in dm screen (with space to lay 2 or 3 sourcebooks flat. No more juggling books.) Not only that, the built in screen is soon to have good quality photo copies of all the relevant quick reference charts a DM would need. Plus, the shelf with all the gaming books is just to the right, in easy reach.
