Every so often, a completely unnecessary gizmo hits the scenes that hardly anyone will be able to afford, yet nearly everyone could imagine having as their own. Feast your eyes on one such device: the X10 Ten Player Automated Table from Play Hard Gaming. This masterpiece seats ten (presumably wealthy) players and features a central 27-inch LCD alongside ten 12.1-inch touch panels. The computerized dealer dishes out the cards, and individuals play along by simply tapping their dedicated touchscreen. Both Texas Hold'em and Blackjack are loaded on, and you'll even get free game upgrades for life when you commit to taking one home. Now, if only $29,950 were easier to come by.

Great Gaming Table
I would love one of these for RPGs. Each player gets a screen for their character, maybe with chat windows between players and game master and there is the big central screen for maps. [Link]

...is this from the same person who hates distance-gaming and won't allow digital dice at the gaming table?
Yes. I never said I was consistent.
Distance gaming just doesn't quite work. Too much technology getting in the way of personal contact.
Digital dice is fine if everyone is using it. When I ran Champions, I wrote a die roller that was used by everyone for calculating damage.
