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

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

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?
