"HGTV looking to film the ultimate game room!!!!" Topic

This message came to the Johnny Reb Gaming Society, and I am passing it along to interested gamers!

I am working on a new television series for HGTV called Man Land. It is
about places in the home that men carve out for themselves such as the
shed,
basement, attic or garage in order to house their passion project – in
the
case of you and your colleagues, I'm looking for a war gaming room.

Here is how we are describing the program:

Man Land, a new series for HGTV is about places in the home that men
carve
out for themselves such as the shed, basement, attic or garage. We are
looking for rooms and spaces that men have turned into temples of
Maleness,
Mecca's of Macho, in short, Man Land. We'll explore this private world
and
also talk to the women who live just outside these caves. We'll find
out
what they think and see how their relationships have gotten better…or
worse because of Man Land.

Simply, we are looking for guy-spaces that look really cool, are really
outrageous and really unique. If we are wowed by your Man Land, we
would
come out with a small crew (4-6 people) for one day. Our shoots are
easy-going and fun. We would profile the room, talk to the man who
built it
about his inspiration for the room and how he put it together. We also
would want to talk to the woman in his life about what it is like
having a
Man Land in their house.

Can you help me to get the word out to your colleagues? I am looking
for
guys who have outfitted the ultimate home war gaming room to appear on
our
show.

Please have any interested gamers contact me at 8183824312 or write me
at
this email address.

Thanks so much for your help. You have a great site!

My wife loves HGTV, especially Mission Organization. But it's only one number away from the History channel. So, when she leaves the room, it miraculously switches channels.

Note. Someone of my acquaintance used to direct 'reality' TV programs. His conclusion on the experience: never let a TV crew in your house.

Now if they'd send some contractors to help me finish my Man Land THAT I'd like! I'd even let them film it.

Ask what the compensation is and what their insurance covers. And don't forget to factor in you tax liability. And lastly, understand that what the camera sees, what the director makes it see, what the editor decides it didn't see, and what actually happened are all four entirely different and at times contradictory things. You may think the day passed splendidly, and that you presented yourself as calm, rational, perfectly normal and indeed interesting— a credit to the hobby, They may decide that you are a clueless geek (whether you were or not), leave all the calm and rational bits on the cutting room floor (or digital hard drive), and present you as the least appealling individual they can make you out to be— because it's all about the ratings!

So if you're willing to risk all that, I say, "Go for it!"

Well my game room is more a shrine to Military History. Nothing really notworthy in the way of unique but a lot of books, prints and wargame stuff. It does have a large refigerator, fireplace, Big Screen TV and a desk that is 4 feet by 6 feet, oh plus the wargame table that is 6 by 8.

Let me know if y'all find some really gorgeous,efficient,fun-
to-work and-play-in areas.

It won't matter to me that they'll be profiled as existing in

'Man Land'.

I can hijack their ideas for a "Person's Playground".

(IF I can get my beloved house troll to move enough of the
potential terrain,unpainted figures,rule sets,games and other supplies to reach the outlets and hook up the t.v….)
