Well, last time I talked about how I've set up my gaming room, and this time I'd like to talk about the next most important piece, how I set up my personal workspace when I run a game of Dungeons and Dragons. First off, I run my games using a laptop, I find that it means that I am taking up far less space than when I ran games on paper. All of my ntoes are easy to get to and never get disorganized. I also have a DND Insider subscription which means that I have access to their Adventure Builder. That means that I always have access to every monster written, and that I can edit them easily. I still track HP and efects on paper though, I find that it helps me to stay quick if I'm not switching between applications all the time. I like to keep my books close, but not at the table, so I have a bookshelf nearby to house my books.
I do use a screen, and I keep my binder of info and my netbook behind it, as well as my dice. I keep my minis in a three drawer unit organized by size next to my chair.
I use crayola markers on a laminated sheet of graph chart paper as my grid. It works well as a wet-erase board and the markers come in a wide variety of colours. I keep the markers out near the grid because sometime I draw the maps, and sometimes my players do. I keep pencils, erasers, and a sharpener nearby for those forgetful folks, and I have a cupboard to store props and other goodies in. I'll post a picture of it all set up later in the day.
