      As far as my experience goes, Tablets and Smartphones as communication tools can be very valuable towards your DnD campaign because players and the DM can communicate with no one else noticing it. Imagine one player has a special skill that let's him gather special information. If the DM textes those information to the Player, he can decide, what parts of this information, if any, he would like to reveal to his teammates. Especially for a chaotic or evil player this might be interesting. If the DM announces those things publicly then this whole possibility is gone. Having an electronic way of communication can be very helpful. + things like maps, puzzle items etc. can be viewed by anyone at the same time. Less realistic but more convenient and especially with maps i'd like to have this option

      @minnion2871 4 года назад +2

      I mean things I'd be concerned with with this table is durability... Too much weight on the drawers could lead to broken drawers(Which would render them useless for holding the books, though perhaps that is the real reason they added the tablets, which would let you look up stuff in the players handbook or other source books without setting the weight of 3-4 or more souce books on an open drawer....) Also I could see the leg sculpts potentially getting damaged by moving the chairs... (Frankly I think carving the giant fighting a dragon would have been better as a wood relief/inlay so that there isn't any stuff sticking out to bumped by sliding chairs in and out as the players move to sit down.)
      Also as others have pointed out better dice rolling surfaces would most likely be larger....
      Overall I think I'd prefer a table that has a sturdy surface that is compatible with wet/dry erase markers and a grid would be better than a glass toped TV screen. (So that players aren't afraid of breaking/scratching/damaging the game table with an errant dice roll of their metal novelty dice..)

      @BBBrox 5 лет назад +2

      Cool idea, yes. But, monitors and TVs are not designed to be displayed horizontal. They actually can get hot and won't vent when horizontal. Plus, viewing angle could be a concern, often they are designed for correct colour/bright from certain angles... those angles are not designed for 'table top' design. Cool, yes.. but does it actually work when trying to play? Similar to your thoughts on the tablets.... why???? I don't understand how that adds to D&D gameplay. Overall, great and interesting idea, but I think more style than substance for actual play.

  • @MrReded69

    That dice rolling surface is pretty small. I think a dinner plate sized surface or a 15"x 8" rectangle, both felt bottomed and with 2 to 3 inch high walls would work better. That small dice pad looks like it will result in lots of dice falling off the table and arguments about what was a legit roll. Maybe I'm just prejudiced. To me, just dropping a dice like that isn't rolling.

    • @RuaLupa

Not only do I feel like the places to roll the dice are too small or need a lip but as a DM I would hate to have a drawer push me farther away from the table every time I wanted to look at my stuff I would rather have a drawer on each side of me. I think that the idea is great the concept is great and the product that they came out with is really good but it could definitely use some work. Fan? maybe... Super fan? not so much.

  • @GentleGiantDK
    @GentleGiantDK 7 лет назад +428

    They made one huge mistake with the build. The glass plate on top of the entire table is a problem if they want to continue using miniatures in their games. The distance from the screen surface to the top of the glass plate is simply too large. When you sit at the table the miniatures are going to look as if they're floating above the map and if you use a grid it's the miniatures aren't going to line up with it, from the player's perspective. At most you should only have a 2-3 mm sheet of plexiglass sitting directly on top of the screen (to protect it from scratches), within the bevel of the screen.
    And I've built a similar table, so I did the research on it and it works great with the thin sheet of plexiglass.
    But the rest of the table looks cool (not much space in those drawers, though, but I guess that's a subjective problem).

      No drawers should be used at all. It's a terrible design decision. Players need more space than that. The die rolls should be on the table where the DM can see them not hidden in a drawer. Players also tend to lean forward to see the map so I hope the drawers have super heavy duty slides or bye bye drawer.

    • @dio52
      @dio52 7 лет назад +35

      If the DM subscribes to the adversarial method of running games, you might want to come up with strategies without the DM knowing.
      A DM might want to provide information from a very good check to a player and leave it to their discretion on how much they want to reveal to the rest of the party.
      If a player is charmed, the rest of the party might want to make plans in secret.
      If a party is split, something might happen to one person that the DM doesn't want the rest of the party to know about before they're reunited and discover through gameplay, charm effects for example.
      Just a high tech version of passing notes.
      And in any case, the tablets still have the benefit of being able to support things like character sheet or spellbook apps.

    The only thing that I could see improve upon this is the technical side. Asthetically this is something I've been wanting for DMing for a long time... x-x
    The one step further one could conceivably go towards is have the TV be touchscreen and when you place miniatures on the board they have their own field of vision and such, and the map of the area reveals to what your field of vision can see. So, as you move your model square by square, you see new things and stuffs. . would be so nice. You could even do horror that way by having the whole screen flash as people move their characters or do some animations or something and actually scare your players somewhat. xD

      agreed, asthetically it was something that would be hard to beat. Technically, they didn't think hard enough, they just used a rectangle. What they should have used is something more like a poker table where the GM sits in the middle and the players fan out from him. Honestly, I think that is the biggest improvement a DnD table can get.

    Frankly, it doesn't seem practical. It must prove to be quite expensive to construct, let alone buy, and the time required was large. Did I not see any cupholders? And although the flatscreen for maps seems like a good idea, there are 2 problems... damage from use (like spilled drinks), and a DM does not reveal the entire map to the players. Map reveals are as progress continues, so drawing them is the most practical method. Beautiful, but not practical.

    • @Zuraneve
      @Zuraneve 7 лет назад +6

      They did mention that there was a cupholder (for mead) and that they were going to put a sheet of glass over the flatscreen. And I agree that the whole map should be revealed to the players at once, but there are ways around that. (Like using an image editing program that does layers, or using the fog of war feature on Roll20, etc.) I'm more concerned that someone is going to walk into those table legs late one night and either break them or seriously injure themselves. And what if they need to move houses?

      @VerumAdPotentia 7 лет назад +1

      The flat screen for maps would have been so much better by installing Fantasy Grounds, and then it would have done so much more than just displaying maps and pictures! Even when we play in person now, we all use Fantasy Grounds, though we use a regular large screen TV at the end of the table, instead of installed horizontally in the table.

    • @minnion2871
      @minnion2871 4 года назад

      Yeah.... Seems like a surface that you could draw on with a wet/dry erase marker would be better, especially if it had an appropriate grid... Also I think the less stuff you have protruding from the table legs the better. Nice sculpts and all but it seems like a waste to put something like that in a place where damage is probable... (Bumped with chairs...) A classical carved inlay that doesn't stick out would have been much better if you were really dead set on fancying up the legs....
      Not to mention I'd also be concerned about the drawers getting damaged from excessive weight being put on them... (Be it a stack of source books, or a player standing up and leaning in to reach for a mini or to get a better view of the table... or bumping it with their knees when they get up for snacks or a bathroom break...)

He has also Published D&D books to help players make worlds and also makes Incredible RUclips Campaigns as well as insightful history on lore and the world of D&D as a whole.So this guy seems nice, but he really did not explain what makes him a Super Fan apart from the fact that he has being playing for 20 years, this April coming I will have played for 20 years, and my mother has played a lot longer then myself.

      that would look tacky tbh. It doesn't fit the aesthetic of the table. Sculptures are never painted in full colour. Go into any city in the world, Rome, London, and none of the statues and sculptures are coloured in detail, because it looks really tacky.
      I did think they would be a similar colour to the table, but it still looks cool, and calling it lazy seems a bit silly considering the work that goes into it.
