This pretty much. I could see people needing larger tables for tabletop stuff, whether it's GW stuff like 40K or Fantasy, or something like Flames Of War, but for PnP I really don't know. Chairs and couches around a table, easier and more comfortable than that technological aberration.

shit when we did pnp with some friends it was a case a mountain dew, some pizzas, and bean bags and coffee table to roll on. But we had a professional gm come up and he ran some bad ass 2nd ed dnd campaigns and this would have been awesome. we would play one 3 or 4 big tables all pushed together. so it really all depends on the game its self. but for your average gamer a standard poker bumper pool table worked the best and its like 150 something bucks

I was thinking of building something similar to THIS as a poker table of course, but with a few modifications it would be a pretty solid gaming table. /shrug

EDIT : This is a really fucking good looking table too.

There are professional GMs? You paid money to have someone run your campaign?

Well yes actually, though I don't think he meant in that sense.

If you're into the convention circuit, you're paid to GM. With some people indeed doing it for a (rather poor) living.

During 1st Edition my half-brothers Father used to get paid to run games. He played AD&D basically 40 hours a week at ~$20 an hour, cash only, tax free. There was a pretty big community to support that in L.A. though.
