Chalkboard Gaming Table

To facilitate gaming in my elaborate Erul-Iton D&D setting, Eric, Rob and I rocked a plain Ikea table into a gaming platform.


First, we sanded, primed, and sprayed it down with chalkboard paint.


Using 1 inch wide masking tape, we laid out half of the grid by leaving the tiniest space possible between the strips.


We left a few inches around the outside for note-taking, arrow-tallying, Munchkin level-marking, and the like, and sprayed it down with white paint.




After drying, we peeled off the first batch and started laying down more tape on the perpendicular.


Another spray and peel later, and the project was completed.


A re-usable gaming surface perfect for anything in the standard miniature sizes. Pictured above are some specimens from my old Chainmail squads.
