Converting Your Home

I t was many summers ago when I ﬁrst assembled,

ﬂoor to table wasn’t so simple.

painted and took ‘Eddie’ the Chaos Dreadie to

battle. He looked so very ﬁne, arrayed in all manner

of spikey bits and had been lovingly painted. Then our

pet dog crushed him underfoot. That was the day we

decided to stop playing on the ﬂoor.

After University, I split up with my girlfriend and had

to move back in with my folks. All of a sudden it was

back to the ﬂoor and all the risks that came with it.

Playing on the dinning room table was not an option,

unless I wanted an ear bashing from my folks. One single

scratch or mark would mean eternal damnation and ﬁery

torment… at least until I got enough money together to

rent my own apartment.

Our little gaming group has moved on considerably. No

longer do we sit in the middle of the living room playing on

an old desert matt with pieces of card scenery scattered

around. Now we are real men! We drink beer and stand

around a table displaying the ﬁnest gaming boards and

terrain. We also have fully painted armies –something

we could only dream of before. But the transition from

The Brothers Pitt persuaded me into commissioning

them to make me a gaming board in 3 sections which I

currently store in a large cupboard. They made it nice and

Shot 1: The dining room table, chairs and

cabinet: A place of tranquility and elegance.

Scratch the table and you die!

Shot 2: Pull the table into the middle of the

space, while pushing all the chairs up to the

available wall space, not preventing access to

the kitchen door.

Shot 3: Get an old table cloth from the kitchen

and the gaming boards from upstairs. I have a

large cupboard in my room, while other people I

know keep their boards in the attic.

nothing quite like a rotting, disjointed town.

Fortunately I had plenty of my own scenery.

After some discussion (and bribery)

with the Parental Unit, I came up with the

following method to playing on the dinning

room table.

If you’re in the same situation, show your

Parental Unit, Wife, Girlfriend, Boyfriend(?) or

Pet this article. It might just help.

Shot 4: Lay the gaming boards on the table

and add some scenery. Crack open a couple of

beers, you’re ready to play.
