3/13/2024 0 Comments Table blueprint with tv inside(In theory I could buy several Battlemats and pre-draw maps to save time. Works well enough, though waiting for me to draw sometimes slows play. So for now I'm still using a Chessex Battlemat, hand-drawing maps on the fly to reflect what the PCs can see. (I'd want at least 20".) Not to mention that they mostly run Android or iOS, which AFAIK don't have any good-enough virtual tabletop apps, so you either need to squeeze Linux or Windows onto the tablet or port MapTools to Android. And tablets have such dinky screens - the largest common size is 10", and the few 13" tablets available are from off brands and get bad reviews. That Microsoft Surface table is $850 used. There's not a good place to mount a projector above the kitchen table. Our kitchen table is too nice to cut a hole in for a TV, and we don't have another room with enough empty space for another gaming table and chairs. Ĭurrently none of these really works well for me. Table with a (preferably touchscreen) computer built in, like the old Microsoft Surface. If married, also buy a tablecloth to hide the TV.) ![]() ![]() (Buy cheap but very sturdy table, cut TV-sized hole in the middle, mount TV to bottom, mount sheet of plexiglass to top. I haven't done this, but I've thought about it a lot.įlat TV custom-built into a table so it sits flush. Look for "digital game table" or "virtual tabletop" or combinations thereof. You can mount a TV in the table, use a projector from above, or use a projector from below.

Power cords, custom table, spills on the map can be catastrophic. 5) No worries about issues with a TV in the table. No purchasing another one just to put in a table. You can even game in the comfort of the living room. 4) TV can be the regular one for the room. That's a problem with physical minis on digital maps, you move the map to show what was previously offscreen and you have to remember where everyone was. 3) No issues with moving the map and tracking the minis in their new locations. It doesn't matter if you open a map that's twice as large as the previous as the minis are digital too. 1) Aforementioned stats on minis, great for tracking damage, weapons, initiative, etc. The downside is no old-school feel of physical miniatures on a typical map.
