What kind of room do you want to game in?

[Orius]

I voted Gazebo!

Just out of curiosity, did you include Gazebo for guys named Eric?

edit: Crap, I wasn't even thinking of a certain Eric when I posted this.

I voted dedicated basement, but there are no basements in florida, or we'd have WET gaming.

I voted gaming room in basement

If I were a rich man I would build a gaming room, oh and what a gaming room it would be!

But if I was uber-rich...I'd have a gaming mansion

I'm working on turning my office into a game room. It already has the artwork and book shelves and computer. I just need a bigger table and some more chairs. Of course, the room is kinda small too, so I'm not sure I want to do that yet. For now we still play in my dining room, since it is bigger and has a table and chairs.

However, I'd really like a larger room, much like the one described at length above.

My group and I actually played in conference rooms on campus at our local community college. Three of us were employees there (faculty and staff) and had access to conference rooms on friday nights. The campus police didn't mind either. In one of the rooms we had a kitchen nearby, too.

I like to play in gazebos as long as none of those nasty davenports aren’t around.

After all my years of gaming, I have only one consistent wish: for a place large enough for me to sit comfortably and not have to move whenever someone walks by me. I am a fairly tall person with long legs and this has been a stubborn problem for all this time. It's a simple, basic wish. Anything else would be icing on the cake, AFAIAC.

I'm currently using my home office which is a converted bedroom. It's fairly big for everything but game night. Six guys heat up a room fairly quickly. We play on a nice conference table with a homemade raised battle board.

After being inspired by the website about the Ultimate Gaming Table (just google it if you haven't seen it), I've decided to design my own Gaming Table with slightly less complicated designs. My gaming group doesn't know about it yet, but I'm a few weekends away from finishing it.

The new table is solid oak, nearly 8' long and 5' wide. It has a rounded end on one side, and a round notch cut in the opposite end so the DM gets two 'wings'. Each is large enough for a laptop or an open book or so. With the current battle board in the middle, each player will have 18" of depth in front of him/her. Easily enough for an open book plus dice space. The DM gets something like 7 or 8 square feet of area to work on. Maybe more.

I'm building the undercarriage now and since the top is looking very elegant (way more so than I expected), I'm going to take the time to build nice storage shelves into the base.

Once the guys know about the table, I'll post the pictures of the build on my website.

Also, one of the guys donated some great LOTR 4' banners to the room. I've got those hanging at the end of the table.

I voted for the basement area. A finished basement area gaming room would be cool.

Well, dedicated room (so i don't have to put all the game books away between games) would be ideal. It'd need to have *lots* of shelving, some storage draws/bins, a file cabinet, a whiteboard, and a glass tabletop that i can lift up to put things under (by default, a 1" hex grid). But *not* a basement room--i want the option to have it open and cheery and full of light and birdsongs, as well as the option to make it dark and spooky and claustrophobic. And most basement rooms are too damp for long-term gamebook storage.

Failing that, the dining room is acceptable. On the upside to having to clean up every time, there's no temptation to just leave the mess, including crumbs and other foodness, for too long.
