Great job guys, especially that portcullis!

What are the dimensions of the room and back closet area?

Wow....just wow.

You guys don't half-ass around. That's the most awesome game room I've ever seen.

Incredible! Soooo jealous....

I wonder, how long did it take to complete that project?

If me and my friends gamed in a room like that, nobody would pay attention to what was happening in the game, they'd be gawking at every little detail in the room all night...

Its not a large room. Was a kids bedroom. The room is about 11'x13' and the closet is 4'x4'.

Probably could have done it in a fraction of that time but it seemed to go in spurts. Did all the shelves then the room sat for awhile. The stone took awhile because I wanted it to look "stacked" instead of the way the box showed which looked too planned. Once it started coming together at the end I worked alot of hours to have it done by GenCon so we could unbox all our D&D stuff.

Great Geebus!

And I thought MY game room was tops...!

Incredible. How big is your game crew? That table actually looks kind of small.

Whats with the DM screens that look like a castle gatehouse? Cool beans! Make it yourself?

Hmm... I see youre not too far from Louisville...

I must make a pilgrimage to see your Mecca in person one day.

Live and in yo face!

Pretty sure it is the 4th edition promotional screen:

Pretty pricey from what I have seen as well. I dont have a clue how many were made but I have seen a couple on Ebay and IIRC they went for around $300.

I just noticed this in one of the pictures:

I didnt even know they made this one. I guess the Aquarius is a bit out of my video game collecting scope though.

The blindingly overwhelming awesomeness of that game room simply cannot be expressed properly in any human language. I cannot stop staring at these pics.

That collection is not too shabby either.

Congrats, guys! You have achieved a new level of fame. Aaron Williams (of Nodwick fame) has this thread linked to on his site... at least until his next update.

Your next project should be to turn your kitchen and dining room into the Thieves World tavern :wink:
