Not flexing, but has girlfriend, friends, and gets paid to share what he loves. Sir, that's not just a flex, but I'm pretty sure you've just nailed the entire American Dream over 7 minutes of watch time.
Tip to reduce drag/scratching on the table and make the figs easier to move: use small googly eyes to make small slide feet on the bottom of the characters, more important for larger or metal figs (or big and metal). They can be almost imperceptible if you use the right ones and if you place them evenly around the base it should be very balanced and often even less prone to tipping over. Plus it tends to make moving them quieter
We do the same. Actually it was a weird situation, one of the players bought a TV and for some reason they gave him another cheap TV for free as a bonus. Some odd promotion. His TV is nice, the extra one was like a 32" HD or Full HD thing. It's pretty awesome to be able to just throw a map up quickly. Definitely his custom table was a bigger investment though. Ours is a regular one and we put the TV on top. It's not too fancy lol
I feel like once you're in custom-built-furniture territory, a cheap TV like a TCL 4-series probably doesn't add that much to the bill, and they add a lot of functionality. You could probably get a used 1080p 55" TV for very little money, now that I'm thinking about it.
GAGAGAGAGAGA!!! I watched this video and it is really not that good compared to my perfect videos. GAGAGAGAGA!!! This is NOT self-promotion! This is the reality! This is the world! We are the people! Don't disl****ke my vide*****s, my dear aga
This was exactly what I needed - Been looking making a table / game room etc etc etc. Been following your channels for a little while now. Exquisite friends! You should be proud!
The Table is by far the best part. The fact that he can get any map for any area would in the long run save so much money, and it also just looks really cool!
It's always funny when people take someone being enthusiastic and wanting to share their passion as flexing. I personally hope someday to have a half decent set up and this gave some great ideas.

What I love about D&D is that you can start with literally nothing and have hell of a lot of fun, but also get really creative and complex about your setup. You can incorporate stuff that isn't specifically designed for D&D (Backscratcher for moving Minis...). It's like there is so much stuff you can do for your D&D Setup / Campaign that doesn't involve playing which I love. I just love to tinker with new stuff to make everything more exciting. The creativity of D&D just doesn't end with the game session :)
If you're looking for something cheap, gary gygax himself built a table that is essentially a massive sandbox where he could dig trenches, hills and even make complex dungeons out of.
Wow, pretty sweet set-up, man! i remember playing the old "blue box" set at my friend Scott's house after school. We never imagined our table would be so high tech!

"You open a door and out of nowhere a giant back scratcher push you into lava" Looks incredible man, I will love to follow your campaign. I also pretend to initiate some campaigns with my friends.
@XP to level 3, I’ve been watching your channel for quite a few years now and I love how it’s evolved. You guys never fail to make me smile and I wish you all the best
God i so miss in-person dnd, seeing the live reactions of my friends when I try to kill their PC's (joke) and whatnot 😔 Just seeing your table made me think of all of us sitting around ours 😭
Love the setup, and mine is EXTREMELY similar, especially my DM side where it's just full of stuff and no room for anything extra so shit occasionally goes flying (ie the remote). Makes me feel better that I'm not the only one that just knocks something off the table.
Not only is he able to flex his huge, fancy D&D setup, he's also flexing the fact he has actual friends who enjoy D&D as much as he does. I do, too, but they're almost never available. :(
Fantastic set-up!! You could also get screen annotation tools that let you draw (like play-by-play style) directly on your laptop and have it show on the TV. This could allow the players to easily move the models/etc around; then clear the annotations once the moves are complete.
Cool setup. I hope you have a piece of glass over the tv. If done right the glass protects the tv from spills and moving pieces. Plexus glass works too, but cut glass is nice and not that much.
Wow things have come a LOOONG way since my 1-2nd edition adventures, back when I played in the 80's and 90's. Which reminds me, I still have all my original books too. A lot of signed copies as well. Not sure how I found this channel but I sure do miss rolling me some bones. Nice work!
Dude this is sick! One day I will get a TV/custom dnd table, one day. I do think I’m going to start using character cards, I think that’s actually a good idea
Good DMing tip i remember from somewhere: make failures positive, for example, during an achery competition the ranger, hyperfixated lines up a bullseye and, after loosing the arrow the ranger notices that a kid is about to run in the way, using their quick reacton speed, they slap the arrow into the ground using their bow. Makes the ranger miss completely while still being able to react fast enough to save someone
The storage thing is nice. I am playing Pathfinder and I use the pawns and by the gods, there are soooooo many. I use those bits storing things you get in hardware stores and the likes and I am currently at two, and will need more. Great vid!
I think this is it? Character Trackers - Initiative Trackers and DM Reference Cards for 5th Edition www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZF3Y37T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_AE046ZNHTKN0EHRAJNMJ
Besides those, if you don't mind printing yourself and maybe using regular paper: www.dmsguild.com/product/207348/Ultimate-Character-and-Monster-Tent-Collection?filters=45469_0_0_0_0_0_0_0
I actually did this for a while using a folder for a DM screen and then folding flashcards in half and writing people's names on them, so I could cycle them across the top of the folder. I've upgraded some since, but it's a good place to start
An a4 paper printed and folded in half can make 2 of them ask for a heavy glossy one and you can use scissors to seperate them cheap an effective this way you can even design the cards yourself and give it you own personal flare
He was making videos the entire time during quarantine. If your circle is small but consisting of friends, and you're careful, then I dont see why you can't have D&D sessions with said friends :)

This was posted a year ago, this is a better setup than where critical role started. I’ll have to check out where your setup is now and how it does on stream!
@3:05 Do you have any kind of protective layer on the TV or are the miniatures going straight on the screen? I cant tell from the video if there's a sheet of plexi or not over the TV. A cheap poster frame from Wal-Mart comes with a sheet of thin plexi that could be used to protect the TV screen.

Looks incredible man, I will love to follow your campaign.
I also pretend to initiate some campaigns with my friends.
Normally, I feel like I'm just being moved around by a giant hand.
Congrats on the new setup. it looks great! hope you enjoy many years of adventures at that table
@XP to level 3, I’ve been watching your channel for quite a few years now and I love how it’s evolved. You guys never fail to make me smile and I wish you all the best
God i so miss in-person dnd, seeing the live reactions of my friends when I try to kill their PC's (joke) and whatnot 😔
Just seeing your table made me think of all of us sitting around ours 😭
me sees the mollymauk figure immediately starts crying

This is BEAUTIFUL, congrats for the awesome set up!
TOTALLY EPIC TABLE! Been playing DnD since the 80's, that is my dream space!
Love the setup, and mine is EXTREMELY similar, especially my DM side where it's just full of stuff and no room for anything extra so shit occasionally goes flying (ie the remote). Makes me feel better that I'm not the only one that just knocks something off the table.
Not only is he able to flex his huge, fancy D&D setup, he's also flexing the fact he has actual friends who enjoy D&D as much as he does.
I do, too, but they're almost never available. :(

Dude that’s such a rad setup! I’m so proud of you guys!!! You’re living my goals
Fantastic set-up!! You could also get screen annotation tools that let you draw (like play-by-play style) directly on your laptop and have it show on the TV. This could allow the players to easily move the models/etc around; then clear the annotations once the moves are complete.
Awesome setup!!!!!🤩🤩

Dude, this is amazing and I am so happy that y’all got such a nice setup to stream and play with!
That table is awesome! I want to get something like that for my husband for our anniversary!
Best anniversary gift ever I'd say.
That’s the sweetest thing you could give him. Happy anniversary!
the best part about dnd is that if you have this or if you are playing with a napkin and a chessboard it will always be fun
Cool setup. I hope you have a piece of glass over the tv. If done right the glass protects the tv from spills and moving pieces. Plexus glass works too, but cut glass is nice and not that much.
God damn that is the COOLEST TABLE EVER
Dude your setup is incredible. Both from a D&D point of view and production.
Jacob: How can I flex without flexing....
Moral highground: Exists
Jacob: That'll do it.

Wow things have come a LOOONG way since my 1-2nd edition adventures, back when I played in the 80's and 90's. Which reminds me, I still have all my original books too. A lot of signed copies as well. Not sure how I found this channel but I sure do miss rolling me some bones. Nice work!
"I don't want this to come out as a flex": proceeds to flex way too hard
This is the single coolest setup I’ve ever seen dude. Hell friggin yeah!
Wow, I think I’m going to need a second to recover from seeing so much glorious nerdiness in one room.
That's amazing! Props to you guys for your dedication to your hobbies and passion.
Dude this is sick! One day I will get a TV/custom dnd table, one day.
I do think I’m going to start using character cards, I think that’s actually a good idea
I want to save up and do that as well.
TV tables are so nice looking!
NGL this helps a lot in how I want to organize my dnd games. thanks for showing this!
Good DMing tip i remember from somewhere: make failures positive, for example, during an achery competition the ranger, hyperfixated lines up a bullseye and, after loosing the arrow the ranger notices that a kid is about to run in the way, using their quick reacton speed, they slap the arrow into the ground using their bow. Makes the ranger miss completely while still being able to react fast enough to save someone
Dope set up guys, really happy for you :)
And here I am, scrambling to jot down tonight's session on sticky notes during lunch.....Awesome setup and video!
I’m really happy you were able to upgrade your setup, it looks fantastic and that table is so dreamy.
The storage thing is nice. I am playing Pathfinder and I use the pawns and by the gods, there are soooooo many. I use those bits storing things you get in hardware stores and the likes and I am currently at two, and will need more. Great vid!
Hey brother I don't even play dnd but live your internet personality. You will go far go far this. Much love!
Is it weird that that table is the best I've seen my entire life, even in fiction
Really love those character info & initiative tracker cards, anyone know where to find them or something similar at least?

Besides those, if you don't mind printing yourself and maybe using regular paper: www.dmsguild.com/product/207348/Ultimate-Character-and-Monster-Tent-Collection?filters=45469_0_0_0_0_0_0_0
I actually did this for a while using a folder for a DM screen and then folding flashcards in half and writing people's names on them, so I could cycle them across the top of the folder. I've upgraded some since, but it's a good place to start
An a4 paper printed and folded in half can make 2 of them ask for a heavy glossy one and you can use scissors to seperate them cheap an effective this way you can even design the cards yourself and give it you own personal flare
It must feel bad that you couldn't use that table over quarantine.
Scamdemic was fake. Masks are useless. Better wear two for double protection.
He was making videos the entire time during quarantine. If your circle is small but consisting of friends, and you're careful, then I dont see why you can't have D&D sessions with said friends :)
@@dansmith1661 just wear the whole damn box
@@dansmith1661 yes, my friends who died from it are still alive. Yes. Fake. Yes. Trump won 2020 MAGA. Absolutely.
*sarcasm, in case you didn’t realize. i understand that some people find reading hard.*
They are about to start using it. Evenfall and Avnia are probably returning soon in-person.
I love the sunken in area for the map and minis
This was posted a year ago, this is a better setup than where critical role started. I’ll have to check out where your setup is now and how it does on stream!

Me: Oh hai Spencer
I love that Jacob is using nostalgic game music in his videos. I want to play Skyrim now. xD
I love this, even more so as you have built it with your wife and friends! 🙂 Inspiration for all of us out there!
@3:05 Do you have any kind of protective layer on the TV or are the miniatures going straight on the screen? I cant tell from the video if there's a sheet of plexi or not over the TV.
A cheap poster frame from Wal-Mart comes with a sheet of thin plexi that could be used to protect the TV screen.
man you be a amazing DM. as a new player this is a new players dream
