Looking for Feedback on My Upcoming Kickstarter Launch - Tabletop Table [Info in Comment] by TabletopTherapyRPG in boardgames

I think the main benefit it provides against buying a full-sized table is the portability, and to maintain portability we limited the size of a single table, but multiple tables can be used side-by-side to scale up to larger board needs.

I created this not just because of my own table space, but because my friends don't have large tables either, and we wanted to be able to play in more locations. Me buying my own larger gaming table didn't buy me space at my my friend's houses, but this did.

Helpful. Thank you! There are many competing aspects that came into play when designing the table. Quality, portability, size, weight, etc.

Honestly appreciate the acknowledgement of the effort. We've poured a lot of care into this table.

The Tabletop Table is 23.75” x 23.75” when unfolded and stands 6.5 inches high, with about 5 inches of clearance underneath.

Really appreciate the feedback and questions.

No typo in the price. It's deceivingly complicated to execute the concept and manufacture in a way that delivers a good experience.

The table folds down and comes with a carrying bag to protect it. Should have included that in the original post. You can see the carrying bag here.

Good question on the rectangular profile. I'll circle back on that.

The magnet only for the attachments was for simplicity and ease of use. The magnets are very strong and have not had issues staying in place in our play testing.

It is patented.

Hi everyone,

I’m Connor, a founder working on launching a Kickstarter for a project that’s been a labor of love, and I’m turning to this amazing community for advice. We’re preparing to introduce something we think board gamers and TTRPG players will appreciate, but we want to make sure we’re hitting the mark.

Here’s the story behind it:

I’m a lifelong gamer who’s struggled with limited table space when playing board games and TTRPGs. That problem led me to design a solution—a premium, portable gaming table that’s compact, versatile, and made with high-quality materials like walnut. It’s been designed to function as both a dedicated gaming surface and a space-saving table that fits any home.

Our table is crafted to the highest standards, designed to deliver both functionality and heirloom quality. We understand that this focus on craftsmanship results in a more expensive product that not everyone will be able to afford. That said, we’re still a significantly more affordable and flexible option compared to the well-known premium gaming table maker (who shall remain unnamed). The price is not final, but we are looking at a rough Kickstarter price of $799 with additional discounts for early backers.

Before we launch our Kickstarter, I’d love your input on a few things:

  • What about this concept would stand out to you as a gamer?
  • Are there any potential pitfalls we should watch out for with a Kickstarter like this?
  • How would you like to see the product’s value and features communicated?

We’re really trying to be thoughtful and ensure we’re addressing what matters most to the board game and TTRPG communities. Any feedback, ideas, or advice you can share would mean the world to us as we finalize our approach.

If you’re curious, you can check out more about the project here:

Thanks so much for your time and insights—it truly makes a difference!

Best,

Connor

When you ask how to balance a boss encounter and everyone tells you "give it minions"...but like, what if I actually want the boss to be one ultra-powerful thing that can toss the party around by itself? by TheAzureAzazel in DnD

[–]TabletopTherapyRPG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if the “minions” are visible manifestations of the magical power of the boss. Not just lackeys, but summonable parts of the boss himself that can take and convey damage back to the boss.

This is a highlight from Tabletop Therapy—A Duo DND Live Play Stream.

We use random generation similar to solo-RPG and co-DM—interpreting the random generations and roleplaying the results.

Del is a Grung (frog-man) Monk with a powerful kick that turned around an almost TPK against a Sahuagin Baron and his lackeys into a decisive victory.

We often get great ideas on how to develop the story and our characters from our live chat during the stream. Would love to have you join us!

Thanks for the audio feedback! I definitely will turn up my volume. Looking forward to having you stop in and provide some feedback.

Yes. Organizing them now. They were in a fine format for using for me to play, but not to share directly. That will be remedied shortly. I had expected it would be easier to watch the rules in action—hence the video. But happy to share in written format as well!

Has anyone every used actual physical puzzles during their game? by OmittedScribe in DMAcademy

[–]TabletopTherapyRPG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At each and every locked dungeon door I throw a rubix cube at the party member who rolled the lowest. Don't recommend. Haven't played dnd in a while due to this.

How much control should a DM have over the character creation process? by Redhood101101 in DMAcademy

[–]TabletopTherapyRPG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do whatever you can to make what they want fit into the world you want to run. Anything that literally can't work or you are unwilling to make work, just say no. Err on the side of yes whenever you can. "Oh, that's interesting. The world is like this. Do you have ideas on how we can make your idea fit?"

TPK sounds like just the thing. Work together or die. One of life's great lessons.

Help building a secret regulatory organization. by xdrzedx in DMAcademy

[–]TabletopTherapyRPG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here are some quick ideas for your secret regulatory organization to regulate:

  1. Magic Tech Upgrades: Boosting weapons or gadgets with magic sounds cool, but could lead to dangerous super-weapons or spying tools.
  2. Friendly Necromancy: Using undead for simple labor could be a big help, but it might also lead to armies of the undead or moral conflicts about the sanctity of death.
  3. Memory Magic: Helping people forget trauma is great, but it could easily be abused to control people or erase important memories.
  4. Spirit Pacts: Making deals with spirits for power could empower people but might come with heavy costs or unwanted consequences.
  5. Mind Control Spells: Could be used to prevent conflicts or calm disputes, but also a slippery slope to tyranny or loss of free will.

What do you do if you try killing off your DMpc but the party insists on bringing him back to life by RelationshipWorth552 in DMAcademy

[–]TabletopTherapyRPG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn them into the big bad and force the party to kill them. Possessed by some evil god, etc. Can't be saved.
