Gaming Table 1.0 (multimedia)

[Three of Swords]

What's with the one section that sticks out (bottom right of 01)? That seems like an accident waiting to happen.

Otherwise very cool.

Do you find that in play the screens are a distraction? Seems like nobody would look at one another, just their screens. Curious to know how it works out in your experience.

Hi Hector
Indeed that was/is a little problem (just the reason why I have set the TV screens in that angle) an with the octagonal build the screens doesn´t really block sight. Also when I am DMíng I try to get my players involved (walking around the table, whispering in a players ear, changing voices, etc... make the players look at me and use the screens essentially for combat. I think we will have to find a good middle way but yes I´m curious too

Cool. You are definitely innovating with the tools of gaming here.

Some indie RPGs are quite innovative with game rules and other devices (jenga towers, candles) as game tools that help build a story.

I think we're in a golden age of gaming innovation. Who knew that 70s/80s teenagers would stick with their adolescent hobbies all the way through to the years when they had real purchasing power? A wonder to behold...

What are you using for brackets to hold the monitors at an angle. I was thinking of doing the same with my table but havnt figured out what to do about that yet.
