[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9309230, member: 6796661"] Yes! I really miss the old Think Geek store! I actually have a full office with a window and everything now. Last job didn't even have cubicle walls. Just lots of desks in an open room. Never thought I cared much about having an office or not, but this is in an old building that hasn't been gutted for "open space" design. I have to say it is pretty amazing to be able to close a door and experience quiet at work. Anyway, let's say that I work in an environment where I have to have people meet me in the office were if I had a bunch of cartoonish knick knacks it wouldn't go over well. It isn't necessarily that I'm trying to hide being a gamer, but more that I need things that keep a "professional" look. Also, I'm no interior designer, but I have some very nice art work I've purchased over the years from various countries and a lot a cheap gamer art just doesn't go well with the over all look I'm going for. I had a colleague at a prior job who had these really cool 40s/50s era travel posters. Except they were for various planets and locations in space. It was really cool, geeky chic, and tasteful. I've seen some posters on Etsy that take the same approach with D&D locations (I posted some above), which might work. Another thing I've noticed is some people will frame old movie posters. Which apparently is not more sophisticated than geeky. The DAD:HOT movie posters I've seen don't work for me. It would be cool to find mock posters. I think Eberron provides a great thematic setting to make mock 20-60s style travel and movie posters. The alt cover for Eberron: Rising from the Last War would make a cool poster. I like how it doesn't have "Dungeons & Dragons" prominently branded on it. Just a tasteful ampersand at the bottom. I think most people who are not involved in the hobby would just think it is a poster based on a work of fiction (well, yeah, it IS, but you know what I mean) or movie. [/QUOTE]
