Questions Answered! The Ultimate TTRPG Table Q&A
Ойындар
In this quick follow up, I answer some questions about the D&D Table that I built and why I chose some of the hardware that I did. I also show more details about the hidden dice towers and go over future improvements I might add.

Suggestion: Retractable DM Privacy screen (By screen I mean the thing that blocks DM notes and dice rolls from the players.
For the super saiyan tryhard tech craftsmen out there: think of the Reactable synth instrument. With figures that have NFC of whatever kind so, for example, you enter a campaign and place your character down on the screen and a little animation plays or their name and basic stats are displayed. Let your brains run with that. I can’t be the first guy to think of it. Shit skylanders been killing that market. I’m an idea man.

Read this thread like "bro, skylanders does that" Nice to see you give love to the O.G. Skylanders
Really nice stuff, just saw both your videos, fantastic choice of table😍 I built one myself as wedding gift for friends and right now I'm making another one just because I can and it's fun:P
Your video made me subscribe. As one who builds odd and interesting stuff (and gets paid for most of it), I think your work is amazing, as I know the level of work it takes to make this kind of stuff.
the algorithm led me to your table build and I subscribed. I've been doing some furniture woodworking for a year now, and have been commissioned to make a D&D table. Your built in dice towers are a great inspiration. Thank you. I might just add some drink coasters glued to the top of them instead of trying to make them flush when hidden. For the first time making box joinery, you did a great job.
I've been designing something like this, I want to track minis on the table to work with characters line of site. You can use roll20 or other apps with it. I'm thinking infrared glass or camera tracking. Your build video gave me a better way to build the physical table. Now I just need to figure eout how to track the minis.

Python has really good algorithms for that type of thing if you want to use parsing. Or NFC tags also might work pretty well.
Got your previous video on recommendations and u rock man, good job I subscribed instantly after seen your hard work and creativity.
Wow great videos. I been playin D&D since 1984 in grade 5 now I’m like 52 I love the game. I think u should do a series on ur gameplay

Couple of people have said this and I wouldn't mind except...It would probably take me 40 hours a week to produce. I tend to overdo things...

@@MoreToolsThanSense that’s why people do live videos to avoid having to edit! As viewers we love the connection.
Sorry I too am late to seeing this video, and the first one. But thank you for doing it, and the original one. I would ask not only could you post a parts list, but where you ordered your tempered glass from, and what the cost for that was too... I'm not that great at wood working, but at least I can explain to anyone I can contract to make one of these how I want it, and supply the hardware, and other items needed to make it. Looking forward to your next project.
I came upon the table build video yesterday. It's not often that I subscribe after just one video, but I felt the vibe that I'd enjoy your other builds too (despite having only seen one). The fact that you're putting out this video shows you care both about your project and your viewers, which I really appreciate. I look forward to more builds in the future, whatever they may be.
Awesome table..! Next build, maybe a Gonk droid that opens into a mini bar, charging station, or mobile projector?
A suggestion I am employing: you can embed cylindrical magnets in the table, and build a wooden dm screen with opposing magnets, so it kinda snaps into place when you put it on the table:)
Seeing a Tau firewarrior Breacher helmet from warhammer 40k would be pretty sick
Thanks for this and what a great table! Also, where did you get that awesome hoodie?..?.
You should try to do some airsoft gun/suit tech like polar stars and such. You might enjoy it.
id love to see a really cool pc desk build, something that just looks nice but is not cheap looking
One idea I would like you to do, get a mallet used to play xylophone and start to hit stuf with it and listen to the sounds. After listening to tons of songs after listening to tons of materials, make the (insert greek name of material here)phone with the material that has best sound at your opinion.
what size is the glass that you used mainly the thickness? Awesome table!
Just a word of warning in regards to OLEDS. They can suffer from pretty noticeable burn in, especially when it comes to static images. So like dnd maps and stuff. Might be better off with standard LED?

I'll have to look into that, I usually only leave the map static for 20mins or so but I guess it could be up to an hour.

Also the viewing angles are super poor, and OLED isn't the brightest.
Rather than popup dice towers, you could have them lay sideways and stand up when in use. It might be less hardware.

Not a bad idea, I'm working on some concepts for different kits that you can install yourself. Might be one of them.
I would recommend you looking into a PC Stick
@More Tools Than Sense Really good follow up to you last video. I greatly enjoyed it. I wanted to ask what the book in your thumbnail is? The one next to your resin inlay. could you make a showcase viedeo or share pictures of it, only if you are comfortable with it. For a future project I think a mage/wizard cloak or costume would be grate. Maybe something with a deep hood (assassins creed style) so that's your face "lays in shadows". it could also funktion as a Dungeon Master costume. I find the idea of a little roll playing great. A shadowy room only player's, the DM and parts of the desk are lit, the DM sits a little higher than the players/in sth. throne like / or both ? very faint dungeon background sound is playing (loundnes of whispers) the dungeon master speaks in a deep rumbling voice "Adventurers long have I waited, for thee new chalenger to appear, but I shan't delay any longer, thee campaign may begin ...... And then the door slams open the lights go on and the kids come thundering in to cuddle . : ) Sorry for the long winded description, I have just become inspired while writing this. thx

The book is actually just a cheap "handmade" leather bound book, you can get them off of Amazon or Ebay. Use a dark sketching pencil to make drawings show up better.
Hey Quick Question, i Really Like this thing. And i know it probably varies from place to place but can you give out a rough estimate on the cost for the whole thing?

He said $100 for the used TV and it was an old table. Not sure about the extra lumber and brackets if you really needed the pop up dice towers but I’m guessing your biggest cost would be the tempered piece of glass. A used table that already has glass you could do basically the same thing to would only set you back the TV and basic supplies!
put cupholders in the corners
Can we get a parts list?
Some form of action figure display case that can rotate, has lights inside, and keeps dust off of the figures would be cool to see. Might be a bit below your skill level though considering the quality of that table.

I'm actually working on something similar already, but think...bigger. stay tuned!
Would you build chainsaw gun type
late to the party, but hopefully someone can chime in. Hows the heat? My concern is heat build up, I know modern tvs dont get all that hot, but laying flat and underneath glass like that Im wondering how hot it gets.

I've never noticed it, I think having 6 people all in the same room makes way more heat than the TV/ PC, lol.
My question...how much would you sell this table for? If I can afford it, I will even cover shipping.
How do you supply power to the table?

It's got a regular cord that plugs into the wall.
If you cross your legs under the table, would you be accidentally poked by all the components underneath

Umm, it's a tight squeeze between the chairs and the table but the extra components are far enough back you don't touch em.
Can I buy it 😂😂
0:59 don't get OLED, the viewing angles are poor and using it flat on a table...ye no one is going to be able to see it!
