Above the table top is fine and there is no problem with shadows at all in actual use. People who say there are issues with direct above-the-table projection are people who have never tried it.Unlike one of the above posters, I would go big in my table size if my room could accomodate it. A 4 or even 5 x8 would be great for my group.If I had a projector with an awesome short throw distance (or indirect projection using a mirror to create the longer throw distance) I would defnitely add a second tier stage, 8 inches higher on the main table so books and so forth could slide underneath the miniature table stage. It's not critical to have - but it's nice.I think table size is very much a function of the number of players at your game. I sometimes have as many as seven players, so bigger is  better for me.There was a guy who posted a few weeks back who had converted a garage in Texas to be his permanent gaming room. Nice decor, good size room, a 4 x 8 table in the middle of this big ass space. He had installed pull out trays and cup holders on his table which I thought was a nice idea and which obviated any need for a second tier stage on the table top. He had a nice grid surface on the table as well under plexiglass. While he had not added any projector rig over his table - it was certainly primed for it and looked to be ideally suited by all accounts for adding that technology.I liked the table. I was envious as all hell of his room <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  Add one of my projector rigs to what he had done and it would be the trifecta, in my opinion.I would add one caveat that tends to get overlooked: you'll need decent chairs for your table. These can end up being the priciest component of whatever you do - even more expensive than a projector depending on the chairs you select.</blockquote>
