"Do You Wargame in the Basement?" Topic

Is your basement used for miniature wargaming?

My current game room is in the basement but it'll be moving to the main living level hopefully this time next year. I also have a small 3'x3' table in the Master suite for either a skirmish game or board game.

where else would swmbo allow you to play?

Most houses where I live(Texas)don't have basements.

I'm in the basement… and I'm never getting out.

I used to, when I had a basement.

Yes.

Yes, though I have aspirations of a second game room over the garage, not to replace the basement but augment it.

Not any longer…

Yes – 1500+ sq ft Is all mine, except I do share w/ the cat… I'll live with it.

Yes. And No.

I'm sometimes allowed to set up a smaller table on the ground floor.

But all my tabletop boardgaming is done upstairs when there all more guests/players.

Yes, the basement – have a 6 x 20 foot table down there. Much better than the un-insulated attic of my parents house where I played growing up – freezing in winter, broiling in summer!

It is called a cellar, rather than a basement, but it is full of wine anyway. So no gaming there. I do store my latex terrain there, as it can get to 40 degrees celsius plus here.

You bet. Although I have a room built down there to game. The rest of the basement is for painting and figure storage along with the big screen, couch, etc.

I live on the 14th floor…

Yep

Yes.

Yes.

Yes

Very few houses here have basements.

No basement.

When I lived in one, certainly. Since my house is on a slab, not so much.

No gaming in my basement, thatīs where I keep the booze.

Im in the garage. No basements here.

Yes

Yes

If there were such things as basements in Florida….they would be full of water….so no.

Yes

Basement

Amongst the whips, gags and suspension rigs all done in Red and black leather? Err! No don't think so, far too dangerous.
Sad to say but mainly at others homes and clubs, I've got a small place for building and painting in the garage which is cleared away every night. Sadly they don't build basements here.

Yes, more of a cellar really. My wife suggested that I was welcome to make the dining room my game room, but with 5 doorways, 4 windows, and a large fireplace, it isn't well suited for storage, so I haven't opted for that yet.

No. Johnny's in the basement, mixing up the medicine: I'm on the pavement…

yes

No, I use a converted room on the main floor.

Yes, I recently re-located to the basement from our converted garage. The room was either too hot or too cold. Inow have the run of the basement, except for storage, which allows me the use of a 5 x 8 pool table to game on.

Yep, 2/3 of the basement is mine. The rest belongs to TreeGirl. When I game with friends is it either at a shop or in their rather large basement (fits at least 4 separate games down there at the same time.

Yeah, but it the Family Room, not bare walls

At home I game in a game room that is not a basement, but at the university where I work, the student clubs which I sponsor game in a rather large basement that accommodates over 100 students and two dozen gaming tables. There is a also a snack bar located in the basement as well. All of this is very convenient since I live in the heart of tornado alley. This helps keeps the students' minds off of the storms.

Kevin

Yep – for sure

As noted by Jim, that's where the boss wants me to game!

"Man cave" = basement. Stays a comfortable 68 degrees year round, if a little dimly lit at times.

Usually. Yes.

Nope.

No basement, so I game on the kitchen table.

Yes. Which I share with our dwarf rabbit.

Yes, I have a fixed up room with a dedicated table. Used to use the dining room, but this is better I can leave a game set up for as long as I want.

No basement. Have permanent 5'x15' table set up in my Living/dinning room area, Library in one bedroom, office in another bedroom,carpeted/air-conditioned/heated 3 car garage used for storing figures, painting area, and Miniature Service Center business. Oh, by the way I'm single so I can do this. I really do have a master bedroom and guest bedroom also, as well as a family room, guest bathroom and my bathroom attached to the master bedroom. Yes all the things I could possibly want to keep me going.

Yes out club is in the basement of a Masonic temple. I used to in my basement at home but my wife trashed it 10 years ago and hasn't cleared up since.

Yes. Have a pool table and a ping pong table set up. Painting on a card table in the corner. Been thinking of combining the pool and ping pong with plywood somehow.

It's a garden level.

A basement would be nice. I've got a sheet metal shed.
