I’m flexing my story-telling muscles again and giving the world of Primordiax a test run via a Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition campaign.   So, while I should be blogging about world building and storytelling, I’m going to blog about an amazing gaming table - possibly the ultimate gaming table - that was sent to me by one of the other players in my group.  Prepare yourself for the hefty price tag of nearly $10,000 for this table.

My first reaction to the table was probably pretty normal: W-T-F.  WTF!!!  Who would pay $10,000 used for throwing some dice and moving a few figures around?  Someone crazy, that’s who!   Then I took a look at the actual table - dubbed the Sultan- which is brought to us by Geek Chic, and my next reaction was, “Wow! I want one of those.”  Of course, the price tag will prevent me from having one except for in my dreams, but I bet that Geek Chic will sell a few of these.

This item only goes to show that people take their gaming pretty seriously, and the people who game aren’t the stereotypical pimply boys hiding away in grandma’s basement.  Gamers move some serious cash to support their hobbies, and it’s probably unsurprising that many successful lawyers, businessmen, and doctors take a break from their real lives to don some armor, squash some baddies, and drool over piles of loot.
