Dungeons and Tables Part 2

TL;DR – I replaced the removable trays with a french cleat system for more freedom in positioning trays and cup holders.

In Part 1 I explained how I made the original version of this table.  The plans for the base table can be found on Ana-White.com.  It’s a simple plan that doesn’t require anything fancy. You can cut everything with a hand saw if you want, or have Lowes do all the cuts for you. From there I added removable trays and a plexiglass panel/screen.

Dungeons and Tables Part 1

Behold! The everyman’s gaming table. Complete with mismatching stain, visible screws, poorly measured cuts and after-market mods.

Disclaimer

I am not a professional, semi-professional or hobbyist wood-worker.  I’m just a guy who sometimes builds things because I’m curious or because I need to.  Also, this has been done many other times by other people, and much better.  This is just the story of my own take on it.

Introduction

I said in my last post that sometimes I randomly receive visions from the Overmind come up with an idea and obsess over it until I do something about it.  Well this is kind of one of those ideas. Continue reading

40 – Let’s Play Deep Carbon Observatory (Part 1) – Carrowmore

The misery begins.

Deep Carbon Observatory opens with a unique procedure for presenting the chaos of a desperate town in the middle of a cataclysmic flood.

That’s what this session covers. Our PCs try to save some people, kill others, and set their eyes down the valley on the looming dam.

Characters

  • Daniel: the ref, technically responsible for henchman Oxford Comma
  • Jim: Bird Sawyer
  • Tim: Saw Smith
  • Asa: Jargon Wit Backhand

Out of Context D&D

  • Don’t drop Oxford Comma!
  • NO BACKSTORY
  • First things first: let’s split up.
  • We ain’t about second place!
  • That’s not your wife!
  • Perhaps . . . I overreacted.
  • I wanna go engage that pedophile.
  • Jim: Bird shudders. He knows that heroes are the first ones to die.
    Asa (shrugging): Should have chopped a kid in half.
  • Immediately after I killed the kid, a thought went through my head: oh, so that’s how this day’s gonna go.

39 – Let’s Play Deep Carbon Observatory (Part 0) – Chargen

We kick off season 3 of the show by making Into the Odd characters for our actual/let’s play of Deep Carbon Observatory.

If you want to get right down to the play, head to episode 40, the first proper episode of the new season.

But here we talk about who made the the system and the module, what’s cool about them, what’s different than standard D&D or Lamentations of the Flame Princess, and there’s lots of affected southern accents.
