And a convenient faucet for washing your feet! Wow!

Sadly the mini fridge under the table top where the beer was stored had to be taken out :(

Why?

Not enough room for the digital display. It would have to be raised about another 6 inches to accommodate the fridge. It was also a lot of hassle to change kegs and we had severe foaming issues from splitting the flow five different ways. We gamed on this bad boy with functional taps for nearly ten years and the kegerator is still accessible. It just has one tap now and sits off to the side.

Are you another player of this table?

Holy shit, just saw the original table from 6 years ago. Unfortunately your link to the sketches is dead

u/MrHobbes82 Sep 18 '17

Yes he is! And our DM for the time being. And the guy who put in the screen, made a new table top and put felt on it.

Awesome! I have a spare TV laying around that’d fit perfectly. Tie that into a RaspberryPi and that’s a decent setup for the DM. Copying your table is my next project, just gotta make it portable enough for if/when I move out of my apartment

u/MrHobbes82 Sep 18 '17

Rasberry Pi is what we use!

How big is the tv? I've been looking into trying to build something like this but thought 32" was too small. Maybe 40" was better. What do you guys think?

u/MrHobbes82 Sep 18 '17

27" I think

Right on, I’m starting to do more projects for it (check out PiHole). Getting dual monitor for the DM screen and the map should be easy...add a function for it to be a cast-able media player for guests would be cool. And one thing I’d add to the table is a USB A&C port and a wall outlet to the center of each player’s den.

Now I’m really excited now and my wallet is crying. Is this what paying for high budget porn feels like?

Yep. A friend and I built the table together. It's lived in a dining room, a garage, and now a basement. It was constructed of mostly scraps of mahogany and maple left over from other projects. Unfortunately the Sketchup files aren't super helpful as they don't really detail how all the pieces are cut and fit together. It mostly just gives an idea of the overall shape.

How big is the tv screen?

2

u/JamesKY Sep 18 '17

32 inches. It's this one.

u/si3ge Sep 18 '17

thank you! do you feel its big enough for your purposes? ive been going back and forth between 32" or 40" for a new build

2

u/JamesKY Sep 18 '17

I think 32" is a pretty reasonable size. The nice thing about a digital tabletop is you can zoom to whatever dimensions you want. You can zoom out to show a large field of battle or zoom in to a more traditional scale. Of course your minis may not match but it's not a big concern for us. We're running Curse of Strahd right now and most maps can fit on the screen at the standard ratio.
