Back when the pandemic started, my sibling and I decided to take on a little woodworking project during lockdown: a table for tabletop gaming, featuring fold-out player stations and a TV in the middle for battle maps. After more than 3 years, we finally finished!

This was our first major woodworking project, and we made a ton of rookie mistakes. I was too impatient with the wood stain, and I got really inconsistent results, and despite our best efforts a lot of pieces didn’t line up quite right. But overall the table is beautiful and it’s built like a tank, so it should last through many campaigns.

Hopefully this project will be the first of many!

    That’s really nicely done! I ran a group that used a cobbled-together setup similar to your cardboard mock-up on a dining room table, but haven’t taken the plunge to put something together that’s dedicated to game nights. Are you using static maps on the display or some kind of software to run the campaigns?

      Thanks! For now I’m just using static images, but at some point I’d like to try software that handles line of sight/fog of war, and maybe animations. I’d love to hear suggestions.
