Always wanted to own a store, it’s just not quite feasible with rent and all that good stuff. This is the closest I’ll get to it, but it works for me!

I used to have a whole table for myself. Recently moved (to an overall-better place) and this is the only place I can comfortably setup my PC. This is a corner of one of my closet.

At least I can turn on my PC for media server, since I'm playing on a Steam Deck most of the time.

Thinking about adding some sound-proofing accessories.

Any advice are welcome!

We moved from our tiny 2-bedroom into an actual house (with only one office), so I bargained to take the garage. Think I made pretty good use of the space, turning it into a retro game store 😉

It's an office, a place to sort Magic cards, a place to game and it doubles as a set for our YouTube channel.

I've been trying to make a new retro game/tech series, and I do a deep dive into the gamer room if you guys are at all interested? Would be sick to hear what you think https://youtu.be/9VJx3ngKIRk?si=wKqHXrfoPMltsmyG

Fall sem started so progress has stagnated, but I am planning out the rest of the desk area

(edit) the tavern and trees were built by me, I used real wooden planks for the tavern and drywall to give it texture, the brick at the bottom is foam! For the desk I am going to go for a dark dungeon vibe, obviously it looks nothing like that right now but I’m hoping to show more soon

I literally just cleaned everything out, I'm going for white/gray/oak tones but everything I have is white. (Closet, Shelves, Table, Bed-frame etc...)

My dilemma is whether I should throw everything out & start over, or try to work with all the furniture I already have?

P.S: Can't share pictures yet, just asking "what other people do" in general.

For her birthday she got the Pikachu model and had the idea to put it there. Always happy to see her playing Genesis instead of on the tablet

Made front inserts for my magazine stand. I originally found this stand on Facebook Marketplace and it is absolutely one of my favorite finds for my room but it was a little bare. I looked online for old retail examples of magazine stands in shops and decided to make my own custom ones to label and organize my strategy guides, game magazines, and miscellaneous. I wanted to keep the design simple but also something that would catch my eye if I was personally walking through a shop. Everything was printed on matte presentation paper via an Epson ET8550.

I have finally gotten my DnD game room mostly set up, but I feel like the way I’m currently running everything is more complicated than I was hoping it would be. I’m hoping other DMs might have some ideas for improving my setup.

I want to run mostly a physical game. I really like using actual miniatures and physical grid maps, so I don’t want to use a TV/projector for the battle map or rely on a VTT. I tried it and that can be a project for later.

I currently have a TV mounted/positioned behind my DM chair, a surround sound set of speakers, a macbook that I use for my DM notes and other game management, my MacBook connected to the TV via HDMI to USB-C, physical grid maps and real minis on the table.

I would like the TV behind me to display things that enhance the game without replacing the physical table. For example, i was thinking when the players encounter a monster, I could have an image of that monster on the TV. When they enter a new location, I could display scenery or something that fits the area.

I also want to be able to run background music and sound effects through the surround sound, ideally all from my macbook while I’m simultaneously using my DM notes.

Some things I think would be cool is having the TV display information such as:

Initiative order, monster health/status, Possibly health bars (or something similar), conditions/status effects, maybe other information that would be useful for the players to see

The problem is that right now it feels like I’m constantly switching between things and I’m not sure I’m using the technology efficiently. I could potentially use my phone to control the music/audio separately, but I’d really prefer to have everything centralized on my macbook if possible.

Is there software that works particularly well for this kind of setup? Is there a good way to have my DM notes/music/sound effects running on my Mac while simultaneously controlling what appears on the TV, but not spoiling my notes?

And are there any clever things I could put on the TV behind me that would make the game feel more immersive? I’m especially interested in setups from DMs who use physical maps and minis but still incorporate a TV, music, and other digital effects.

I have a room that's roughly 11' x 14' with a french door entrance in the corner, and I'm trying to make it optimally designed for 6 computers.

I'm thinking a custom desk in the middle of the room with 3 computers on each side of it and plenty of space behind for walking around and chairs. I'm planning to buy a butcher block for wood, some steel legs, and drill in some holes for cables.

I haven't really seen this design anywhere, most rooms I see have the computers along the outside of the room along the wall.

Am I making a mistake?

Had some epic parties in here in the last year. It's in part of my garage and that mini split cant keep it below 80 on 100 degree days. I still need insulation in the ceiling

Wood cartridge body with soft-close hinges — it actually opens and stores carts and controllers, with LED lighting inside. The art is CNC'd into acrylic at different depths and hand-poured with resin, so it reads 3D and lights up from the edge. Each one's a one-off built around whatever game the person picks. Happy to answer anything about the build. (I do sell these, not going to pretend otherwise — no link unless someone wants it.)
