Share your workspace (or workspace tricks)


You know how people share workspaces on lifehacker? I thought it'd be a cool idea to share our workspaces (however 'neat' or 'messy' they may be) and comment on what works for us. Recently I moved into a new place with an odd feature. I have a small spare room off of my main bedroom that I managed to fit a twin bed into. Being an avid producer (check out my music here) and hobbyist I needed to find a way to make room for both digital and analog projects, but I still wanted it to be a space to hang out (considering the bed is out of the picture as it is and we don't have a living room per say).
I found my answer in a couch/table combo that serves as a desk and a comfortable spot to listen to some music or watch a movie. I can slide the monitor over and the keyboard back when it comes time to get into some painting or modeling. After I'm done I can quickly pack away my organizers that hold my tools, supplies, and bits into my closet.
I want to invite all my readers and fellow FTW members to share your workspaces, or workspace tricks, in the comments section. Even better make a post on your blog and link over to it.

Playing the game: What do you bring?

There's a lot of talk about tactics, painting, and modeling on the internet. (which is a great thing) This thread is all about the extra stuff we don't want to live without when we play. I thought this up whilst browsing Warhammer Alliance's UI forums.



What I bring: (clockwise from left) my codex/army list notebook, Ron's Battle Matrix sheet, a cube of 36 chessex mini dice (2 if I'm playing apocalypse), 10 big pink dice for important rolls, standard templates, 2 sets of my custom markers, big gun dice (for turn counters), and Gale Force Nine's T.A.C. template. I really can't say enough about this offering from GF9. The 2" coherency end is really great for disembarking troops from transports as well as checking who's engaged in close combat. I use it for almost all my movement too. Buy one and you'll never regret it. (GF9, you can sponsor me now) My mini rulebook didn't make it's way into the pic and my tape measure broke recently. Gotta grab a new one..

I'm gonna open up this thread to all my subscribers/readers/fellow FTW members. What do you bring?
