It's all starting to come together now...
Posted by Dante at 3:02 AM
Stupid Ranger and I are finally getting settled into our new home! Fortuitously, as if by some divine plan, I received a sales email from the guys over at Geek Chic lauding their new demi-Sultan table that will be released to the masses on November 23rd.
Cursed Consumerism!
This just threw a healthy splash of gasoline on the fire for me to plan my new gaming sanctuary at my new home. While I might not be able to afford the Sultan (unless their big reveal is more economical models!), I certainly would like some sort of a custom gaming area to inhabit with my motley band of adventurers.
The space itself needs some finishing, so once that is done I am looking ahead for some good multi-purpose ideas for using that space as a gaming/recreation area. I'm thinking a big, home-rolled whiteboard would be nice both for drawing encounters or keeping score for the ol' dart board. A more high tech solution might come along depending on how my research into multitouch surface technology goes... that may take a back burner until warmer months when I can comfortably build things outdoors again.
Other necessary components, aside from a place to rest one's butt:
As I return from dreamland, feel free to shout out whatever random stuff that comes to mind when you think about your ideal gaming space. Coolest ideas I haven't thought of already will likely get you hugged if we ever meet IRL, and have a distinct possibility of being implemented in the final Roleplaying Dungeon!

- A food/drink/alcohol dispensary of some kind.
- One to many book containment units
- One to many miniature containment units
- Some sort of music system to provide some mad roleplaying tunes
- The all-important ambiance factor, meaning a place to display the ample Lord of the Rings prop/sword collection
- Some sort of glorified display for my autographed OD&D sourcebooks, perhaps with mini Gygaxian Shrine (seriously not a joke here people, I want this!)

Yeah, I've always got a chuckle out of the Sultan's price tag. I'd love to know which RPG/Gaming Geeks can afford one.
Still, your right a gaming sanctuary would be great. I haven't had anything like that since I got married. (It's amazing what spend on raising a child, not to mention the space.)
So let's see my idea gaming space. Let's see. I'd like to have a custom gaming table with built-in power and network ports, so that I can have player searchable web data at the game table via a Table-only Intranet. Long before I was married, I actually started working on plans for a table with cheap dumb terminals. I still have an 8 port serial card that I had planned to use. Of course all that computer stuff, even on the a table-only Intranet may distract from the game, but hell it's only a pipe dream at this point.
I like the idea of a whiteboard. It really would come in handy. I think my biggest issue no matter where I game, is that I don't have enough room for my stuff as a GM. The second is miniature organization. I just don't have my organized enough. I need to buy more foam for my Army Transport Case.
Have you looked at these guys?

They were able to produce a very similar table for much less money. I even like it much better as a table, seeing as how it isn't quite as massive and unwieldy.
Good luck, and congratulations on the new space!
Might I also suggest that you take a look at Monte Cook's gaming room at montecook.com. He has pictures both on his livejournal page and in his forums.
His table and room are basically heaven.
