[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 9365471, member: 11"] This is why (if you look at the pix of my gameroom) you'll notice that I set up on a long side of the table not at an end. This allows me to step to either side of the lectern (or the screen when I used one) and do things on the battlemat without having to reach over players. The lectern is also on wheels, so sometimes I also just roll it away from the table. The table pictured also has TWO leaves, even though it has no leaves in when I snapped those pix. I usually only use one, but for a big set piece i put in both and that provides lots of room. Thus, I can have two players at each end and up to four players on the opposite long end (though typically it is two or three). I know I am privileged to have a set up like this, esp. since I was kid who grew up playing D&D at dining room tables that had to be cleared by a certain time so we could eat, parks, pizza places, and for a short time with a dinner tray in a corner of a friend's grandfather's model train room (without being allowed to actually touch any of the terrain and stuff). Since we use measuring sticks marked with 1 inch "boxes" (increments) for tactical movement, I usually have the 12-inch one in my hand and yes, do use it to point to things. A dream of mine come true! My MiL overheard me say I really wanted a classroom sized dry erase board for one wall of the gameroom when we had recently moved into a new house and she got it for my birthday about four years ago.
