[@dwylaw]

So, where can I get a custom built gaming table with a pre-installed Matt Mercer?

[@brunocarvalhobernardino3791]

We can look for it together

[@Neviian]

Id love one too

[@YogiDesforges]

Yep! Thats the dream!

[@montyvlad3491]

A large table for all of us should suffice

[@roland3067]

I'm in

[@__shifty]

"so what do you usually have on your table?" . "mini's" . "SO builder guy, you got enough to work with here?" . "absolutely!"

[@WellintentionedWarlock]

lol I noticed that too. They tried to solve the 'mini's' problem but created more problems

[@jackiea.7971]

[@lorddestroy9996]

Thanks

[@squizill]

Heres a d&d table, oh btw u get a 4 inch square to roll dice on lol

[@anikidwolfy]

and a tablet to message your friends who are sat directly infront of you, damage to communication skill *rolls 20*

[@lilitulee]

@@anikidwolfy I thought the tablets were to help avoid verbal metagaming

[@TopGunGEneral]

Now the players can metagame non-verbally.

[@N3rdZon3]

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

[@vedadtr3509]

Im poisoning all.of my friend's pets for the last 10 sessions. I message the dm and he rolls. Dude has no idea why his pets keep dying

[@doorjamm23]

FAN: "better than the birth of my son!" WIFE: "sign these documents then pack your things"

[@harestius]

[@weirdkid5010]

[@alejandrovalenzuela7994]

great, more time to play

[@molly386]

i love d&d but... surely you’d love your children more than a gaming table? lmao

[@davespringer777]

His son will have those legs all chipped up before long. So, it'll work itself out.

[@stopjimin8601]

having such a small roll space is so strange to me in a game so largely involved with rolling dice- sacrificing space for rolls in order to fit a drink lmaooo...

[@westingtyler1]

yeah that was a little weird to me. Corridor Crew's Son of a Dungeon has the little hexagonal bowl things people roll dice in. in this setup here, I see dice falling on the floor a LOT. I'ma make a better table, and this vid is good research on some possible pitfalls.

[@YorkshireNutte]

Yes, players rolling dice in their drawer where the DM can't see them. "Oh, natural 20, again!" "Dude, that's your 4th natural 20 in the past 20 minutes..."

[@Infernal_Nipple]

Yeah, on a pretty small area. I am pretty sure none will drop to the ground.

[@berndarndt9924]

If you have that kind of players maybe you should switch the group!

[@Reaperdeathpunch]

The players next to them will hopefully snitch on them.

[@MrVdots]

Had a guy did that, made him roll on avrea he rolled a nat 1 and complained about bot. *Smug*

[@minnion2871]

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..)

[@Slidemoon]

"I wish we all had tablets so we could communicate with each other during the game." said no role-player ever.

[@clonetrooper4583]

It's to maintain secrecy though. Let's say you went to a different room with the bard and you want to talk to him alone.

[@mallman23]

Or think you need to send some secret info that only that character knows (but you can just use your phone)

[@Lainlegend]

dnd beyond app character sheets and stuff are great tho

[@oldripbeak355]

A lot of sessions have involved note passing, this is just one step up.

[@ragglerock2682]

it's for private communication

[@KingsBard]

"Better than the birth of my son" You just asked for a divorce

[@Raesling1]

Yup, I was wondering if that was his way of saying he hated his wife.

[@dharkann]

well deserved tbh.

[@Dracoleon]

Kingofgames2000 oh without a doubt

[@joaopedrofontes20111]

well actualy who needs a wife and son if u have tha beauty table at home...

[@pokenationoriginal3539]

joe fontes I couldn't agree more

[@snakeace0]

its kinda ironic that matthew mercer is propably twice the D&D fan. Poor lad must be droolin in jealousy right now :(

[@choiceofmusicROCK]

who knows maybe he has one in his dungeon sitting unseen in the shadows

[@snakeace0]

Tom Frost Tbh im really glad he didnt go digital on his maps , the care and love he puts into his physical battlegrounds is always awe inducing . ( but damn i would pay for those table legs alone )

[@KimekOwnz]

He deserves one but a lot bigger and better :)

[@Crokto]

i think he'd take advantage of the digital maps thing, but would still build set pieces for 3d shenanigans

[@skotosman]

He needs one that seats seven plus one DM obviously.

[@gamemythtabletop4645]

DAMMIT, I was expecting to see that d20 in the thumbnail :(

[@Dodger24]

Yeah unfortuantely that d20 doesnt actually exist, its just graphic art

[@_myst_4267]

The monitor under the table for maps was a cool idea, but I don't see why they added tablets for the players. It seems like it'll just distract them more than help them

[@Eternal_Tank]

So evil chars could talk with the dm for plot twist without the party metagaming i guess. I also heard that some people like to have other players not know whats happening when they are split up.

[@Minoze]

With a tablet they could just open D&D Beyond and not have to print their characters.

[@daveshaw5328]

Bjarne Detlefs it’s a way of controlling information to keep up the immersion.

[@c17bykenshi67]

Yeah, like the one time I fell into a pit and found a treasure chest, I wanted nobody to know but since the dm has to tell me all of China knew that I found a treasure

[@BBBrox]

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]

I think a lip on a bigger dice tray would have been better - maybe sunk into the wood? That or dice towers that are built in or sneakily stored some how and whipped out come game time. *shrugs*

[@bobbytwoshades9986]

No, I agree with you and Rua. 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.

[@derda3209]

Just use a cup to roll the dice lol

[@I_am_not_funny]

Yahtzee!

[@LeafFire333]

Matthew Freak-in Mercer!!!! Can't be a D&D video without him

[@gamesboy6]

As cool as this table was, the presentation of this show felt very quick, superficial and insincere.

[@samcanham6215]

yeah

[@Tyler_Gomola]

Agreed. Super patronizing

[@Mutiny960]

It was, they even had the token "Girl Gamer" to make it politically correct. Only an idiot wouldn't realize they give no fucks about anything they're talking about.

[@Tyler_Gomola]

It very much felt like the people who were actual fans of dnd are the guys making the table and matt mercer. Like even the guy who got the table was faking it.

[@Mikalon90]

Thats the feeling i have with every american TV Show

[@realpauldano]

I feel like the only person there that knows what’s going on and how to play is Matt mercer

[@destroyrebelscum7930]

smh she didnt even roll to hit or damage

[@BloodyBay]

If that's a Wand of Maximized Magic Missiles, she doesn't need to roll anything. ;-)

[@destroyrebelscum7930]

But she did roll a d20 for initiative which is not the right dice

[@morganmcpherson4332]

DestroyRebelScum d20 is used for initiative in 5e

[@destroyrebelscum7930]

Pink Horror Gaming im used to old school never played 5e before

[@morganmcpherson4332]

DestroyRebelScum gotcha. well in 5e a d20 is used for pretty much everything that isnt damage

[@GentleGiantDK]

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).

[@RuaLupa]

What drawer design would you have done?

[@bhartman42]

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.

[@Dan-hr1uj]

Yeah, i liked the concept they put out here, but that table is too damn small for a D&D game

[@RikkuTakanashi]

I also have to wonder about the longevity of the table. Electronics don't last forever and I have to wonder if he'll have the funds to replace that massive monitor later.

[@ereder1476]

honestly ... althought the sculpting in superb: i was hoping for a convertible. you know, where you can hide the giant screen in case you want a more "authentic" and less technological game. this giant screen makes me super sad. it looks like a reskinned or microsoft table with D&D bodykit. TL;DR: i was hoping for a table more like what critical role is using. not a battlefield-but-not-holographic map table ...

[@cyclone7434]

I don’t like the screen too honestly. It would’ve looked so much more authentic if it had been straight wood that had designs in it. And a map display over the top you you can use paper maps still and not worry about scratching it

[@doodars9357]

Cyclone Dystress what would be cool is having maps marked into wood sheets that can be swapped out, that would keep an authentic look i in my opinion

[@Infernal_Nipple]

@@doodars9357 or pieces that could be flipped to reveal themselves as props on the other side. It would probably be cheaper than the TV + tablets to make. A lot more difficult to create though

[@datgaming301]

I absolutly agree. ive been playing dnd for at least 15 years, and ive seen more drinks spilled right onto the battlemap than i can count. even with the cupholders idk if i would still want it.

[@StaticCat1369]

[@Kogobean]

wait Matt Mercer is in this!? how the hell did they get him in this?

[@umbreonmagic]

Why would they use the tablets to message the other players if they can just talk to eachother?

[@dio52]

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.

[@fatmandoingstuff3786]

How do you possibly do anything without the DM knowing?

[@gamecommanderswarroom6283]

[@matsimurf_5900]

oh god😬😬😬😬😬

[@Skyscraper125]

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

[@ProtagonistOfficial]

Kilivin That would be so awesome. Definetly would make the experience a whole lot sweeter.

[@bcn1gh7h4wk]

would require the minis to have a bluetooth chip, and the table to have the correct programming. that's not something you do in a day.

[@chad8767]

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.

[@owlbear3937]

Kilivin I would have put less tech into it

[@tommydude6735]

I mean, option two would be to use roll20 or fantasy grounds to create a lighting layer, and when a player moves a token, the dm would then move the corresponding token on roll20/fantasy grounds. It would be one workaround at least.

Great Build, Would love it myself, But honestly this guy is not "The World's Greatest Super Fan" I can easily think of several more deserving Fans, Who are Super Fans!. One in particular who has collected all the books, in soft and hard copy and all the special books, as well as collecting nearly every single figure ever made as well as having his own custom made figures, Not only that but he has being playing all his life and has worked in a RPG Tabletop Gaming Store, being an on hand expert in most of the Games on hand, Primarily D&D!. He has also Published D&D books to help players make worlds and also makes Incredible KZbin 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. Comment who would you Nominate!, Especially if they have KZbin series that I May indulge in :P P.S.

The Provokers is a great campaign, and Matt Click did a great job as the dungeon master. Barker played a brilliant mage in the series, and is also a superfan.

[@waytoohypernova]

Our DM has tirrets (?) And so he'll randomly yell something really loud, do an evil laugh, or say "jazz hands for Jesus" There are so many more examples but those are the best and worst... You know you're in trouble when the DM does an evil laugh... But we don't.

[@catfoodfood6169]

Hey I'm a sleep deprived dm

[@spoonyscoop796]

That moment when your dad says a table is makes him more happy than when you were born.

[@nonsweet]

One of the first cool AND useful things they have built

[@onatgz]

this build is rated *H* for *HONEST!*

[@sirroko_schazbi]

Really awesome modern building. In this table the gaming has more good feeling. Especially I love the tablets for the chatting. Really wonderful. :)

[@lodrezzon]

Our Dm doles out serious exp penalties if we trade secret notes during a game. God needs to know EVERYTHIBG that happens during the game, and he doesn't like 'texting'!

[@Archon762]

Thank you for all the new ideas for my DnD table.

[@davidbourbonnais3980]

and then all of a sudden, the game master says "it's higggggh noooon" xD

[@jonathanpiwright3435]

Why would the players need to message each other on tablets when they're sitting next to one another?

[@cocoabean6832]

Casting the spell "message" or a private team strategy, but other than that, nothing really

[@pashasalih730]

Betrayl and secrects

[@waytoohypernova]

Paper

[@EightThreeEight]

Tablets are handy if you want to use D&D Beyond for your character sheets instead of paper.

[@specticalpush1220]

great inspiration for my projects, Thanks!

[@classmst89]

the nerdy happiness haha i love it! you know hes gonna love using this

[@teratokomi8731]

Well its.... something. I dont know if I would roll my dice on the tiny little felt box though. Im also wondering if the computer screen can even be viewed at an angle. Players would probably have to stand up to view the screen. I miss playing D&D. My dice has been collecting dust for many years.

[@MasterYoda389]

When they showed the framing of the "super-fan" with the 2 tiny hosts I loled hard. Dude youre a giant!

[@kittysterranart3266]

Omg, that is awesome! I want one for my d&d campaign lol!

[@snatchngrab8262]

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]

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?

[@snatchngrab8262]

Kala Reshana As long as there are cupholders... that fit 2 liter Mt Dew bottles.

[@VerumAdPotentia]

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]

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...)

[@EmceeTimmyT]

when they said they were going to paint the legs, was I the only one expecting some amazingly detailed works of art and utterly saddened by black spray paint? that was just straight lazy.

[@davidropp3174]

Same here. Thet said 200 hours to sculpt and paint. They meant 199 hrs 57 mins to sculpt and 3 mins to paint. (Including 1 min of vigorous can shaking)

[@cdogd]

yeah i thought he said it was gunna be a red dragon

[@Ox_ygen]

Same here

[@jorgeclarkson4639]

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. If presented with this table would you honestly complain?

[@Necrotaku999]

i agree with jorge aesthetically its much more fitting that elegant style to a recharged painting work

[@MH-yx1pv]

This has given me so many ideas

[@bonnieshellito5245]

That's awesome and so cool.

[@ur_cowboy]

roll a perception, 18, you see McCree walk out over the ledge and you hear him say, "Its high noon", Roll init, 2 , oh, you cant make it to cover in time and you die mwhahahaha

[@iancrawford2496]

Perfect. I was worried they wouldn't put glass/plexiglass over the screen.

[@eclatshwartzbaumcybertune2063]

Love making stuff for this game!

[@HaploBartow]

Even in a TV show about it, Mercer still can't resist using the phrase "your physical form" X-D

[@batsu7500]

the show reminds me a little bit of "Pimp my ride"

[@Konuvis]

Matt Mercer for president!

[@datgaming301]

lol i love the example encounter in the begining. "I search for... items." "You find a scroll wrapped with a ribbon". irl its basiaclly "I loot his body", "you rolled a 4, you cant even find his cloths"

[@druggedoutpennokio6413]

this is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen

[@BananaBLACK]

imbedded dice poppers would have been a nice touch

[@RuaLupa]

Convenient, though they may be, I personally love the feel of the dice in my hands.

[@BananaBLACK]

I actually prefer cups but you can't embed cup into a table

[@MeleeTiger]

"Tablets to communicate with each other" ... Uhh, why would that be needed at the table?... I mean, I'm sure they meant more than that but... Came out kind of odd.

[@sammiskiv8269]

Rennis Tora if your dming and theres something you only want one person to know and telling the group is at theor discretion or one of the players is chsrmed and ypu want to make plans wothput him seeing

[@SugarFreeTargets]

Makes sharing your character sheets with the DM much easier. But honestly you could just use Google Drive for that.

[@minnion2871]

Probably because they didn't want to admit that the drawers weren't sufficiant for the books and the figured the best work around would be to put the digital versions on the tablet... That and I imagine that the tablet will put less strain on the drawers than the combined weight of the players handbook, xanathars guide to everything, the swordcoast adventurers guide, volo's guide to monsters, the monster manual and whatever other books the players would want to have handy for reference...

[@Narutobelieveit56]

This is awesome! I want this. I want all of this!

[@FreyjaCaelan]

looovvveee. man we need more dnd builds

[@TheSwamper]

Amazing table but come on! 20 years? I've been playing D&D every week since 1977.

[@c17bykenshi67]

Omg that looks so cool

[@toddabbott781]

Rookie... I started gaming when I was around 5. and really got into it by 7, including painting miniatures, drawing maps, running games... I'm 52 so that is at least 45 years of gaming. The first was with a gaming group my 15 year old brother was in that used a home brew version of Chainmail. I could not afford D&D but I did manage to convince my dad to buy me for Christmas the monster manual when I was 8. My brother had Melee and Wizard back then and I kind of combined the two and made up my own RPG. When I was 11 I got hooked on Car Wars and shortly after that Traveler. The big one was GURPS when I was 17 and champions a few years later. I played all sorts of other RPGs and table top games, but those where the main ones. I got into Warhammer fantasy and Magic: the Gathering HEAVY when I was 23 and 40k when I was 28. I tried D&D a few times over the years (Advanced D&D and D&D 2nd and 3rd edition but never cared for it that much. GURPS was my favorite because most of your experience points came from roleplaying your character well and the rest from completing tasks. It was not just a game of murdering monsters. Now I play Warhammer 40k (most Sundays) and D&D 5th edition (most Wednesdays) almost exclusively. I have a massive miniature and scenery collection (mostly for Warhammer) and last Christmas I got myself a 3D resin printer... :P
