Hey all, please direct me to any community that would better serve me for this question and I will gladly delete here and move it there.

My conundrum: I have an old dining room table that is 30” high, 71” long, and 37.5” wide. It’s in my basement and sits against the wall when not in use and can be pulled out for room to sit on all sides.

I have 5 adult players and am adding a 6th to our table. It’s fine except for needing room for snacks and player accessories (sheets, dice, dice trays, etc).

I thought about getting a larger table that is foldable.

My other thought is what kind of accessories could I get that would help them be able to place things on the table but also leave room for my mat and miniatures? Is there anything that I could clamp on? Are there stands?

What options do I have? Money isn’t an object here, but I don’t want to have to break the bank if there are other options that I could do cheaper.

That’s a good idea as well. How does that work when there are 3 adults on one side at a 6ft length table?

I have 5 people at a smaller table for my games, so we just use less trays, and they share. One for me as the GM, and one per two players

Interesting. Can you explain more what this looks like and/or what trays?

[-] Infynis@midwest.social 2 points 6 months ago

I just have little rattan tables, about a foot square surface area, but any TV tray-like table would work. One between each set of two players, and one next to me at the head of the table

I have four total at an oval-shaped table, so I dunno. Check out a few things; see what might work for your particular situation. You may even have to try a couple different things.

You could get a foldable card table if you need something larger, for example.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking initially was a larger foldable table - like an events table
