Inspiring

Still not much going on due to the move and refitting the house to make it

However the wife and I agreed that we could set up a new game table in the rumpus room.

Here is an example of a digital enabled table, using a wiimote and a video projector to run a virtual tabletop for DnD or similar games. This would be awesome for games, as it allows the DM/GM/Storyteller to create pretty much on the fly, and for dungeon crawl type games it may be perfect.

I think we will probably go with something more traditional, but golly, this thing has potential...

Update

Not too much going on right now, as we are in the midst of fixing up the new house and preparing to move. I have been doing plenty of painting... of walls and ceilings. I packed up my painting desk on Wednesday, and rediscovered the projects lurking within. I did not manage to get the neo-soviets or the empire spear regiment painted before all painting effectively halted, but they will be first in the queue in the new setup!

In other new house news, there will be room for a hobby room, as well as a game table at the new house. Due to space issues, the game table will have to be folding, but provided the basic plan works out, it will be 6 foot by 6 foot, which should be adequate for 40k and WHFB, and great for smaller games. More on those topics as we get to them.
