Are Gaming Tables worth it?

Was it a typo or an adorable way of saying that a baby happened? I love a good sandwich as much as the next person, but I can’t think of a bready concoction that would knock me clean out of a 20-strong campaign.

Also it’s a friggin amazing way of saying baby if true.

It was an intentional panini that I’ve adopted from Efka at NPI.

I’ve not heard an explanation, but I’ve assumed that he substitutes pandemic with panini to introduce a bit of levitity when talking about the pandemic. I actually find it a bit less depressing to talk about if you say panini :slightly_smiling_face:.

I’ve tried one of the Geeknson gaming tables and would say that the play surface (inside the vault) was at normal table height. I would find it uncomfortable to use as a dining table, but I am quite short.

Tekelili-li?

Yhe panini!

My husband and I just got a game table. Once we are more fully moved into our new house, I’ll post pictures of it and our new game room.

We got the Jasper Long from BoardGameTables.com with the topper pieces to make it into a normal dining table. When a dining table, it’s about 30 inches from floor to table top, so a fairly standard dining table height. I think it would fit me fairly well that way as a dining table all around, but we haven’t actually used it as one yet. I am on the short side (5’3”) and fairly mid-weight (neither overly skinny nor large). My husband on the other hand is on the tall size (right at 6’) and a very big guy on weight. With the table at standard height, the lowered vault of the gaming surface hit his thighs and he couldn’t really get his legs under the table. We decided to get blocks to raise it two inches and now he can get his legs under and sits very comfortably but we’ve played one game on it that way and I felt like the ledge was hitting me in the middle of my chest. Not a problem for something I was leaning over and resting on for playing a game down on the lower surface inside, but not really where I’d like to be having a plate of food resting while eating. We’ll see what kind of solution we come up with long-term.

That’s what my husband said! I said it was going to turn into a never-ending cycle until we’re banging our heads on the ceiling.

Is this conversation leading in to the plot of The Twits?

I believe the phone book is the traditional solution.

A what book?

Like the instruction manual that comes with your smartphone?

The phone book shortage is so bad. We have started storing cats where it should be.

Of course you need about five years worth of phone books nowadays to make a proper-sized phone book.

Clearly the solution is blocks on one side, not on the other.

Followed by pritt stick to stop game components sliding away.

How about a system of pulleys for your chair, so you can always adjust yourself to the desired height? Doubles as chair storage when you aren’t using it!

I’m instantly imagining the chair flying all around and over the table in a whirlwind of whirring ropes and alarmingly dangerous chair legs, to examine the state of the game board from every angle.

I am pretty sure that will make the price go up rapidly, but there are mechanized height adjustment desks, why wouldn’t there be for a dinner/gaming table?
