Do you have a dedicated area to game with?

I am currently in the process of turning one our bedrooms in the house into a game room. The above game room isn't mine in the links, but I am building a table, painting my walls, and adding some neat features. Right now the table is a 8x4' birch cut down to to 6'x4' bought and cut at Lowe's. Its sits centered on a 6x3' plastic buffet table from Walmart.


Anyway its great to play your games, get up and leave your table like it is, and do all your work there during the week for the next gaming session.

I like the idea of a room that I can leave in a particular state, without having to worry about non-gaming activities taking up the same space. It would help keep things organized and separated. On the other hand, I don't tend to have a whole lot of stuff out when I play most RPGs, so a "dedicated game room" would probably be more for board and card games.

I'm not really into the ultimate gaming table... it just doesn't sit right with how I like to do things. I'm sure there are some people who would get a lot of use out of it, but I don't think it would work for me.

Yes, we have a dedicated game room. In addition to the closet of board/card games it also includes:

1960s era Coke machine.
Wall-mounted TV with NES and XBox.
Upright arcade game (one of the converted jobs with 39 games).
A big, round table (that can be rolled away when not in need).
Small couch.
A corner booth/table combo.
A few other chairs.

I've got a finished basement, and it is our game room.

I just finished purchasing the lumber to make my table, and am going to start building it sometime soon. The table top is going to be a huge white-erase board!

Right now, we've got lots of bookshelves, a wetbar, and TV/Stereo system. There's a couch for the players, a bench for the GM, and a odd chair for an extra player.

I don't have a dedicated gaming room, but my girlfriend and I plan to move in the next two or three years. At that time, we'll look for a house with a room we could turn into a dedicated board/roleplaying game room.

My unfinished basement is our dedicated game area. We have an old kitchen table, some "recovered" recliners, a linux pc, a dorm fridge, a boom box with ipod hookup, a kegerator with a keg of home-brewed beer, bookshelves and a whiteboard on an easel.

We've even started to use blue-tack to stick dead PC character sheets up on the walls. It's our Valhalla.

I love it.

At first I had imagined our den being the gaming room, but the logistics of the house leads me to believe that just using the dining room for gaming makes more sense (there's no bathroom on the lower level with the den, and due to it being on the ground floor, temperature control can be erratic, especially in the winter.)

In our future home, I'd LOVE to have a dedicated gaming room (including PC and video games). I'd like it to be able to double as my own personal office and reading/writing area, too (with a comfy recliner in the corner, surrounded by shelves of my gaming books and boardgames).

Don't have, but definitely want one. Of course it'll be used for things other than just RPGs. All sorts of card, board, and videogames I expect.

I have a finished basement that I intend to turn into a gaming room. Right now, it has just our computer on a desk and a coffee table and a couple end tables. We plan to add a couch, loveseat, and maybe a chair or two and a mini-fridge.

For board- and cardgaming, we have a sweet dining table that we bought specifically because it is perfectly suited for gaming. It's square and seats up to eight, and it's big enough that it can handle even the largest boardgame layouts.

We play at a private club so we have a huge room capable of holding 40 or so people with lots of tables, chairs and with a pool table and bar downstairs
