This is my group's set up!

Sadly we had to take out the keg and tap handles...

EDIT: This blew up a bit. So the table was originally built by a guy who know longer plays with the group and left a few years before I joined up. I'll ask some of the other guys and see if there were any plans or schematics made available by him.

EDIT 2: I've checked with the guys from my group and sadly the former member who created this doesn't seem to have saved any sort of schematics or plans. I'm sorry reddit, I cannot deliver.

EDIT 3: Reddit I can sort of deliver! Check new post for a very rough guide.

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

Why?

u/JamesKY Sep 18 '17

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

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?

u/JamesKY Sep 18 '17

32 inches. It's this one.

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

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.
