If you guys want the PLANS for the table, you can buy them here: neckbeardwizard.com Abram made the plans himself, unfortunately he can’t ship out pieces or anything. But you could build it yourself if you’d like!
Two months later he pins a comment, nice
Where are the soundtracks in the backgrounds from? (Love your work btw)
@@sadboyspojken some of them are from Skyrim if that helps? Basic tavern music, and that deep on when he showed off the table is sovnegarde
Man, I'd love to come help or join. Seems like a lot of fun
man, it's a very sad thing for me to love this table and to be a Brazilian who will never be able to buy her plan because a dollar is 5.68 reais (Brazilian currency) T_T conversion drug.
great video I'm your fan
Jacob's biggest flex is actually having friends to play D&D with
LOL
also, having disposable income.
cassually in 2 dnd groups
Same
yes
"I dont wanna flex but... I have people that I can regularly meet up to play D&D with"
YOU WHAT
WHAT F***ING BLACK MAGIC SORCERY IS THIS
I would say you could go to hell with them but ill bet it will be a fun adventhure
We play online (Foundry VTT) ... I'm DMing to a Dwarven Doomstack (War Cleric, Forge Cleric, Glory Paladin, Runic Warrior Fighter, Eloquence Bard)
First 2 sessions they managed to save a village from taxation by drinking copious amounts of beer and partying.
Me who actually has friends to play with
Guess i'm flexing too. My group meets weekly.
This guy has friends to hang out with him, a wife, a kid, and the most nerdy home I've ever seen, damn, he's living the American dream
Man. I've got the wife, kid on the way, lots of nerd stuff in my home, all im missing is friends to play DnD with
Facts
@@Mcdude22Well you have a wife so that's one person to play it with, and soon you'll have a halfling- Child of your own as well!
To me this dude having a wife and kid is the biggest plot twist I’ve ever seen
@@lookwhatyoudidtomyfish4453damn...
This man is one of the biggest nerds I've ever seen.
I can only hope to one day achieve such nerdness.
I wanted that too but then I got married. I still have a closet tho. It's a very full closet.
@@DyslexicLemonz What's your spouse doing to stop you from achieving ultimate nerdiness? Could you perhaps work out a deal?
@@celestialtree8602 actually my wife supports my hobbies a lot, but marriage led to priorities that are shared which led to kids which led to different priorities. Hobbie is there, but family first.
@@DyslexicLemonz Ahh, fair enough. That's good to hear. :)
Lol dude, you don't have to feel guilty for having nice things you worked for. Very generous of you
His job is playing
@@steeleliftsyt Just because its fun doesn't mean he doesn't put in effort.
Damn I wanted to like the comment but it’s at 666
he wasn't guilty, he just didn't want it to be a flex which is a nice attitude
@@steeleliftsyt and most of the time my job is "playing" with old people and beeing nice to them.. sooo..
Different people, different jobs.
What about athlets, artists, crafters or similar jobs. Its not right to say this way of income is lazy or wrong.
There are jobs where you need to be strong, Others need you to be good in organizing stuff, some need you to be empathic, Some need more or deeper knowledge, for some you need patience
that TV table 🥵
It's just a regular giant-ass dice trace & TV included table... typical IKEA stuff
Hi jocat you Are not in training
69 likes. Noice.
@@mefit8725
Do you live next to some level 2 ikea or something?
Your song I like girls has been stuck in my head for like a month! Lol
I would have a hard time leaving this room . . .ever: just pouring over the next session and forgetting basic needs like food and water. That table looks so satisfying!
Dude, its unbelievable how refreshing this video was seeing someone just so excited about playing and doing D&D things. Love it.
ONE DAY. WHEN I LIVE IN A HOUSE THAT I OWN AND NOT JUST TEMPORARILY RENTING AN APARTMENT.... I CANNOT WAIT TO DO ALL THIS. 😭😭😭
HA HA you were one of the first youtubers who i watched that played d&d, crazy
Feel that on an emotional level....pray up!
same
Faaccttss
I wish you the best of luck and would love to see it
Jacob: "We're not professionals"
Also Jacob: "I have a custom built table"
Bruh...
He also gets paid for playing, kinda the definition of professional.
@@thefracturedbutwhole5475 Purposefully misinterpreting a statement is, "kinda," the definition of being intellectually dishonest.
A person, or persons can be paid for preforming a task, but feel they are not professionals in the field. Compared to other Live-Gaming streams, their set up isn't even close to being 'professional'; *Not that it matters* . But what Jacob is trying to convey by saying, "We're not professionals," Is that they have a fun workspace, not a 500k$+ studio set with a team of people to run all the back-end while they stream.
@@thefracturedbutwhole5475 If you rake leaves for a few bucks are you a professional gardener?
@@LupineShadowOmega technically, if you do it as a profession
@@TheWashableBomb Then you're an entrepreneur.
I can't believe that Jacob not only has friends to play D&D with, but also a cat to play D&D with, I mean, how much of a flex is that?
Honestly I think the best part of the setup is it still seems very at home and has the beer and pretzels vibe still
Not only is he flexing his D&D setup, but hes flexing his compassion and that hes stacked enough to donate money to charity. Best flex.
Hes flexing that he doesnt need to flex to flex
He's flexing that he has friends to play with
The flex of giving a flex warning, big kahonas
Way to humblebrag Jacob!
And friends, that too
This is now legit my ultimate DM dream setup, thanks for inspiring me.
Wow things have come a LOOONG way since my 1-2nd edition adventures, back when I played in the 80's and 90's. Which reminds me, I still have all my original books too. A lot of signed copies as well. Not sure how I found this channel but I sure do miss rolling me some bones. Nice work!
“And with that, here it be”
* Pans to dnd heaven *
I was genuinely speechless. It's amazing
OH mY gOD hES FleXinG
oH No
My self worth is scattered to ash. *looks for tall bridge*
It's always funny when people take someone being enthusiastic and wanting to share their passion as flexing. I personally hope someday to have a half decent set up and this gave some great ideas.
@@aaronwilliams8887 is the first sentence serious or am I dumb
@@aaronwilliams8887 I was so clearly joking. As suggested by my font
He’s just flexing that he is a charitable person AND he has a bad ass setup.
and he has friends
This was exactly what I needed - Been looking making a table / game room etc etc etc. Been following your channels for a little while now. Exquisite friends! You should be proud!
Jacob: Buys a TV
Uses it for Dnd Maps
We do the same. Actually it was a weird situation, one of the players bought a TV and for some reason they gave him another cheap TV for free as a bonus. Some odd promotion. His TV is nice, the extra one was like a 32" HD or Full HD thing. It's pretty awesome to be able to just throw a map up quickly. Definitely his custom table was a bigger investment though. Ours is a regular one and we put the TV on top. It's not too fancy lol
I feel like once you're in custom-built-furniture territory, a cheap TV like a TCL 4-series probably doesn't add that much to the bill, and they add a lot of functionality. You could probably get a used 1080p 55" TV for very little money, now that I'm thinking about it.
@@kaldo_kaldo imagine it:s curved screen tho
@@pluggothesluggo5509 how would you set minis on it?
@@Naramiah that's the joke
Step one: Open roll 20
Step two: you have found my setup.
Step one: Open Discord
Step two: Open the premade handrawn maps in libre office paint
Step three: Tadah, that's mine.
GAGAGAGAGAGA!!! I watched this video and it is really not that good compared to my perfect videos. GAGAGAGAGA!!! This is NOT self-promotion! This is the reality! This is the world! We are the people! Don't disl****ke my vide*****s, my dear aga
Mine is Discord. Just that. Maps are for the weak >:)
Step 1. Open discord
Step 2. I M A G I N A T I O N
@@luislasbelin Some of us struggle with theatre of the mind. I know I did.
Tip to reduce drag/scratching on the table and make the figs easier to move: use small googly eyes to make small slide feet on the bottom of the characters, more important for larger or metal figs (or big and metal). They can be almost imperceptible if you use the right ones and if you place them evenly around the base it should be very balanced and often even less prone to tipping over. Plus it tends to make moving them quieter
The Table is by far the best part. The fact that he can get any map for any area would in the long run save so much money, and it also just looks really cool!
Jacob showing his dnd collection off is the equivalent of the weird kid showing his bug collection at school to other weird kids
Wait but I had a bug collection . God damn it
that just means he is the chad among the weird kids now
I had a rock collection once. It was just funny shaped rocks I found around, but it was nice to see the potted plant get filled with small rocks.
They're pretty cool bugs though
@@ge789 yo same
Not that Jacob is suggesting otherwise, but this is a friendly reminder to everyone that no matter how minimal or ramshackle your setup is, as long as you can have fun with your friends, it's a perfect setup for you. We don't need fancy to have fun :)
but being wealthy sure fucking helps!
But ... but I nedd it
let me covet my neighbor in peace!
Not a fan of this tbh. It’s overly complex. Just a good table, some friends, dice, and solid theatre of mind is plenty fun for me.
For keeping track of where people are in 3D space, I like to have a piece of poster board with the environment drawn on, with little Tokens for the players, and usually decorative coins for enemies
I love the set up! It’s so cool! I’m so happy to see that many people are able to make a living off of what they like to do!
What I love about D&D is that you can start with literally nothing and have hell of a lot of fun, but also get really creative and complex about your setup. You can incorporate stuff that isn't specifically designed for D&D (Backscratcher for moving Minis...). It's like there is so much stuff you can do for your D&D Setup / Campaign that doesn't involve playing which I love. I just love to tinker with new stuff to make everything more exciting. The creativity of D&D just doesn't end with the game session :)
The shot of the warmongering generals in the war room was so good
3:37
I want it.
Hey! Fancy seeing you here.
Same.
Ask the lady you live with if she's okay with it!
Don't we all?
Not flexing, but has girlfriend, friends, and gets paid to share what he loves. Sir, that's not just a flex, but I'm pretty sure you've just nailed the entire American Dream over 7 minutes of watch time.
The best comment so far.
It got better he's married
Based comment.
@@shortcircuit9388 Based update.
@@shortcircuit9388 it got better they're having a kid
Wow, pretty sweet set-up, man! i remember playing the old "blue box" set at my friend Scott's house after school. We never imagined our table would be so high tech!
Congrats on the new setup. it looks great! hope you enjoy many years of adventures at that table
I literally just bought Jacob's dm screen without realizing it was Jacob's dm screen
What's it called? I want it lol
@@Raven-hh9cj "Herbert's dm screen"
@@gggg-hq4td oh god it’s so expensive
Thank you
@@Raven-hh9cj its by Talon and Claw on etsy. Search for them or just search dm screen on etsy, I don't think you have to scroll very far. It is pretty expensive though
I bought the same one like a year ago. Its really awesome, only complaint is that it got a dent during shipping.
I feel like once you've commissioned a custom D&D table, you're a professional whether you want to be or not
What if you made one yourself
Fax
I built my own table, helps being a carpenter
@@mattyperry1633 how much would one like Jacob’s go for as a rough estimate?
@@sterilebroth8933 a couple thousands, I saw some going from 4k (pretty basic) to 15k (really beautiful and big)
@XP to level 3, I’ve been watching your channel for quite a few years now and I love how it’s evolved. You guys never fail to make me smile and I wish you all the best
I was gonna make a d&d table, but after seeing this I'm making one of these. 😂 I had some of the same ideas but this takes them to 11. Very nice 👌
The only way to upgrade this is a room to store professional voice actors in to play all the NPCs
Mercer bot play Lord Gideon of Umbershire!
Nah, just use the imperial guard voice actor for everything
Your setup is very nice, but I especially like your shirt.
THE MAN!
THE MYTH!
THE LEGEND HIMSELF!
HE IS REAL!
He lives!
If only there were a place where mere mortals like myself could purchase such an item... Hmmmm.
I love you.
I love you.
I love the sunken in area for the map and minis
very nice good job and work. blessing to ya mates that helped create an amazing set up
Meanwhile, I'm crafting my setup out of cereal boxes.
I wish you luck.
I’ve recently discovered you can get a big ol’ bag (> 1000 pcs) of generic legos on Amazon for about $20
Necessity begets creativity my friend.
All great things have humble beginnings.
If you're looking for something cheap, gary gygax himself built a table that is essentially a massive sandbox where he could dig trenches, hills and even make complex dungeons out of.
The biggest flex is having 2 consistent games a week. I’m barely able to get my own game scheduled.
Have you trird doing it every other week?
Sobs in 2+ years no games
I love this sooo much! Great job man!
Dude its by no means a flex, such a beautiful setup. Wish I was playing there
"Like we're warmongers in the general's room."
So, it's come full circle. From war gaming to modern tabletop role playing games, back to war gaming.
I mean, they go really well together.
Some people have life long goals of becoming millionairs or becoming famous. This. This right here is one of my main goals.
TOTALLY EPIC TABLE! Been playing DnD since the 80's, that is my dream space!
Love the channel, cant wait to start watching and picking up some tips on how to be a good Dungeon Master. Thank you for showing the set up ✊
My D&D table is literally just my bed that I sit on my knees next to in a room by myself while I play with people over Streamyard.
My setup is discord when my group can't meet and a foldable table with a whiteboard and like 12 minis when we can meet 😂
Not only the setup, the friends, the minis, and, to put the nail on the coffin...
AN ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE CAT
Edit: i see jacob uses Bloodborne's OST. A man of culture
Above and beyond. Great work guys!
Thanks for the awesome peek behind the curtain!
Jacob showing of his d&d collection
Meanwhile my friends and me. So here is a big piece of paper I stole from school. Did everyone remember to bring there bottle caps?
I tried the collecting of minis for a while, my wallet could not bear the strain lol (plus I'm not a painter). But ya know what works really nice? Those little glass pebbles you get from the dollar store. Those things are great! You can write on them with dry erase to put HP or a number ID on them. They some in tons of different colors so you can create squads or have lots of different monsters.
@@latentpotential4520 Miniature Mash-Up has a lot of videos on how to source very cheap minis, as well as a lot of videos on how to make cool terrain with cheap materials and materials that would otherwise be trash.
Also, don't be afraid to browse eBay and yard sales for good volume lots.
A great option cost-wise is paper minis, you can find free art to print, or even draw your own and print/draw them on cardstock. Use some air-dry clay to make bases and you've got minis.
I mean, if you can imagine it, it works.
My group has used bottle caps as enemies for years, we’ve even got a decent collection of minis now but still use them from time to time.
@@glenncapozella6894 There were a few months we couldn't play at the house where the miniatures lived, so we used Lego people.
Way back in 1980 when we started, our "minis" were game tiles with masking tape and the character or monster name written on it.
Forty years later, we have at least a couple thousand miniatures bought one big figure or box of smaller figures at a time, by all of the various players who played with us.
The biggest Flex of all is being able to write this off on your taxes as a work expense.
.....that would save him maybe a couple hundred bucks......dude makes 50 grand a year just on patreon.
@@ryanorr4626 geez. Here I am still at rock bottom fighting for the ability to go to school
Lets not knock the guy for figuring out how to get it done, no matter what, the viewers and fan base are why he can do this. Good for him and he's not a jerk who just funnels his money, he is giving money to a great charity. Sometimes we need to just back off and enjoy the message and be inspired to do better ourselves.
@@Pistol-ve6ji by all means I'm not knocking. He can do something I cannot and managed to make it profitable. What I should have said was something along the lines of wishing I could find my moment to profit on something I'm good at you know?
@@shadeslayer6374 I here you on that one. Like using my voice for radio... I got a face for radio at least....lol
Truly amazing set-up!
I had no idea this guy was a James Bond villain. That custom table is legendary.
this is not a comment, it's an offering to the almighty algorithm
Amazing setup Jacob
I love the set up man .you just got a new sub.
Been browsing thru the channel to find some actual serious gameplay on this table! All I'm getting is some stuff about reactions of rpg characters. I wanna see some DnD going on on this beatiful setup!
me sees the mollymauk figure immediately starts crying
Based
Jacob is so befuddled and genuine, even excluding the charity, this could never come off as a pompous flex...
So sincere that the great pumpkin is definitely visiting him this hollows eve
Well spoken
This was amazing sir! Thank you for inspiring my next project/obsession. :D
The cup holders over the TV give me great pause for concern on the table's TV longevity.
God i so miss in-person dnd, seeing the live reactions of my friends when I try to kill their PC's (joke) and whatnot 😔
Just seeing your table made me think of all of us sitting around ours 😭
thank you for including us in your life jacob. very epic
Thanks for showing your setup, it's so fun to see how others setup their game rooms! I just sorta finished mine, now I just need a gaming table, hubby won't let me spend that kind of money :(
Congrats on your awesome setup! All that AND streaming too!
"You open a door and out of nowhere a giant back scratcher push you into lava"
Looks incredible man, I will love to follow your campaign.
I also pretend to initiate some campaigns with my friends.
Normally, I feel like I'm just being moved around by a giant hand.
Not only is he able to flex his huge, fancy D&D setup, he's also flexing the fact he has actual friends who enjoy D&D as much as he does.
I do, too, but they're almost never available. :(
I love watching you, that is such an inspiration to have an awesome room like that! One day...I too will have a room filled with amazing.

>has custom table with cupholders
>puts put in dice rolling area
I love the nerdy glory of all this. It genuinely seems like you have fun with this, and that really is something cool. Hope you guys continue to have a ton of fun with this setup.
It warms my heart to see you so invested in something you so clearly dearly enjoy with the ones you love. And on top of that, you share it with all of us. Nearly shedding tears ngl.
This is awesome, thank you for the video.
This is super cool, I'm really happy for ya'll bein able to live out such a nice dream like this
I want this nerd cave it brings a tear to my eye how beautiful this is
*"This is a nice set up you've worked long and hard for...."*

Alternate title: 7 Minutes of Jacob Flexing for Charity
God damn that is the COOLEST TABLE EVER
Hey, thanks for all the fun videos you do. I get a real lift from your content.
"I don't want this to come out as a flex": proceeds to flex way too hard
Dude this is sick! One day I will get a TV/custom dnd table, one day.
I do think I’m going to start using character cards, I think that’s actually a good idea
I want to save up and do that as well.
TV tables are so nice looking!
This is BEAUTIFUL, congrats for the awesome set up!
This is the single coolest setup I’ve ever seen dude. Hell friggin yeah!
Absolutely love the set up!
Dude, you shouldn't feel terrible about showing us how our support continues to help you grow. (I buy my artists friends work so they can do more for the same reason) We're here for you and you're a great content creator. We love the fact that you are so giving too. Keep up the great work!

I have literally never played D&D but this is fascinating and awesome. Kudos.
This is so freaken cool! Really amazing!
That table is awesome! I want to get something like that for my husband for our anniversary!
Best anniversary gift ever I'd say.
That’s the sweetest thing you could give him. Happy anniversary!
Dude that’s such a rad setup! I’m so proud of you guys!!! You’re living my goals
Wow! Very nice…
I want to play!
Thanks for sharing.
This is on another fucking level. I dont have any words to describe my thoughts. Congratulations from Spain.
Wow, I think I’m going to need a second to recover from seeing so much glorious nerdiness in one room.
Dude your setup is incredible. Both from a D&D point of view and production.
Woah thats a crazy cool setup im quite jealous and impressed !
I love this guy. bless your heart.
