I know your thrilled with that stain. But felt would be nice to provide a good die rolling surface. And for drinks or possibly other food, maybe some trays that are removable and attach to the side of the table. You may have to design/build it. But I have seen that concept for a "Settlers of Catan" table build
Those are some great ideas. To be honest, I don't do much research when creating most stuff as I don't want to be influenced, but I have seen tables from Wyrmwood Games over past years. I may look at making additions in the future, but I wanted to stay within their budget
I was suggesting all kinds of ideas with lighting, speakers, and smoke, but my sons were like, "Just keep it simple, dad. The players already get distracted enough during the game. Don't add more distractions" 😞😓😩
Great Project. What software is your son using for his D&D games on the TV table?
He is using Arkenforge. He says it is working well. They all like how they can hide the but reveal more of it as they move forward in the game.
Is there any "distortion" with the plastic on top? Like the alignment of the square is off if you look from an angle. Probably not wording that right.
Excellent question 🙂 There is some distortion / alignment on the map. That is to say, when looking at it from an angle, the player piece looks like it is not centered on the square. I asked my son and his friends if it caused any issues, and they said the distortion was not enough to be of concern. So far, they have played 4 games on it, and they are quite pleased. 😀 👍 Thanks for watching.
Is that a spillproof top? I can imagine DnD players spilling soda and that would not be a fun thing to clean from electronics!
You're absolutely right, spills are definitely a concern with any tabletop gaming! Thanks for pointing that out.
The good news is that the plexiglass top is there for exactly that reason. It provides a solid barrier, and because it extends over the edge of the TV, and the detachable frame is screwed tightly on the plexiglass, any spills should stay on the surface for easy cleanup. We designed it so you can quickly wipe up any accidents before any liquid seeps into the frame.
Since the players are in their mid-20s, I trust they'll be careful with their drinks. But for added peace of mind, I could easily add a silicone bead or even a weather seal around the detachable frame for extra spill protection.
Overall, the plexiglass top should offer a good level of protection, but I appreciate you thinking ahead!
