What kind of room do you want to game in?

[Pynchon]

A dedicated basement room sounds like something else to clean. I voted for the living room with a good coffee table. It needs to be a very good coffee table, large and strudy. I perfer the living room to the dinning room, despite the dining table, because of the room to move about and comfortable chairs.

I have a pretty large basement, and a good portion of it is finished (maybe 500 sq feet, or a bit more?) with a small bathroom and a dry bar. Of course, the dry bar surface is a display area for my army of miniatures - I have a pretty good sized Warhammer Empire Carroburg army and an Orc & Goblin army.

But, I have a large sectional sofa and a large old table down there for gaming and the floor has pretty new carpeting as well and is well lit.

We usually game in a dining room area, but it interferes with my wife and kids watching tv in the living room (damn you military housing). Ultimately I would like a seperate room and a basement would be perfect for us as it would provide a nice bit of privacy.

The whole living room/coffee table doesn't work for me, I am one of those guys who likes to play at a large table with real chairs and stuff. I don't exactly know why that is though...
A nice sun room would be good too, glass windows open space.

I designed my house around a dedicated, huge, basement gaming room. I got four tables, two large, two medium, and a bunch of comfy chairs. It is the ideal gaming environment - and if I didn't vote for it above, wow, I just wasted a quarter million gold on my house.

I voted dedicated room, but it's not a basement.

I am in the process of turnign one of the spare bedrooms in our new house into a gaming room/home office. When it's done, I'll have our desk and PC on one wall, bookshelves on two walls, a table to game on, a comfy reading chair, a small miniature painting area, and a closet full of gaming supplies, toys, and Legos.

A well-lit room in my basement with a pudding wrestling pit and a whole bunch of strippers.

But, really, I'd be happy to do just about anything in that room.

We have a great basement for gaming. I don't want it to be a dedicated room, but I'm giving serious thought into decorating it in the style of an Art Deco lounge circa 1950. I've found sites with Art Deco furniture and it all looks solid enough for gaming.

Plus, I'd get to have a bar. That's an essential roleplay aide. Especially when you're dealing with a 350 pound guy playing an elf maiden.

We actually game in the living room, around a cool octagonal coffee table that my wife and I picked up at an auction. But if I had my druthers (and the space) there'd be a dedicated game room, decorated in much the same style as Djeta described above. *sigh* maybe someday....

I voted for dedicated basement room. I have a finished basement with a large table and six assorted chairs. I recently put in directional track lighting so the light can be adjusted as we need it. I also just installed a 3'x6' cork board on one wall for posting maps and such. There is also a couch, recliner and overstuffed chair in the area so we can be more comfortable when we're not gaming. I just wish I could put the room to use more often

I voted dedicated basement gaming room - which I have. I'm living the dream, baby!
