Ultimate Gaming Table

Pretty impressive. The gamer replacement for a pool table. Yours for $9650. [Link]

RM: Tell me the beginnings of this table.

RG: Honestly it started out like a lot of gamers do – you sit around and say “If I could have the ultimate “something,” if I could have the ultimate table…” I was talking to a handful of gamers and honestly half-heartedly, half-jokingly said, “You know what I’m going to do? I’m going to do this. And they took me dead seriously because I’m that type of guy. They said, “He’s really doing it.” And, of course, I guess maybe I’m the kind of guy that takes a dare. And I said, “Well, goodness gracious. They think I’m going to do it, so I’m going to do it.” That was actually happening right about the same time as Gary Gygax’s passing and it was kind-of putting things in perspective. I thought, “You know, 40 years of war-gaming, 30 years of role-playing gaming…or 100 years of war-gaming if you go back to HG Wells, and we didn’t have any kinds of solutions that were like this at all. It was all home-made, hand-done, and no commercial stuff. And the thing is this is about respecting our hobby and respecting the game. It’s about elevating them to a level that they deserve. People buy pool tables all the time and they never play pool. We play these games all the time and we play them on pieces of plywood over sawhorses. We need to start realizing that these games are worth our time, worth our money, and worth our overall investment, and that’s how we bring our families and people around these things and keep these things going.
