As Storytellers, it's often our place to provide a place at a nice table, maybe a bit of food and possibly lodging to our players. The pillar of this social contract is.. the Gaming Table.
This holy artefact is central to sit-down Roleplaying. The venerated RPG table is home to the Dice, surface upon which tea is spilled on Character Sheets*, and the frame for the ST's throne-seat at the head of the game and the setting.
I have oft renovated my table to better suit it to RPG-ing, and steady improvements have made it what I think to be an ideal setting for RPGs, particularly Exalted.
Here is my precious:
She sports a map under a glass pane; one of the advantages of this arrangment is that I or my players can scribble with washable pens and markers on the map or to describe a stunt or scene. The white box is a feng shui replacement for the wide bowl I used for pens, tick counters and dice; I think it will make the table more open for the next session, I'll be able to clearly see everyone.
The rotating office chair is clearly mine. What the picture doesn't show is the patio outside leading into the garden, which is nice for breaks, and the underused kitchen behind me, which would in theory help keep the game running when people get the munchies.
Bring on the pictures/descriptions of your own tables/rooms! I believed this to be the forum because it's an ST-ing related thread, but by all means shift it if I'm wrong.
*It's a commonly accepted fact that Tea/Coffee stains empower characters.

Almost tempts me to go back to college and switch my major. But nah. If I ever have the funds to finish I'll likely still go back as an Anthro major...not that it'll do me much good. Begging for grant money and so forth isn't likely to result in beautiful gaming rooms.
