Looking for some inspiration! I would love to see setups of how you play your games, and the equipment you use, physical and digital. I'm currently setting up my new area for gaming/working, and thought I'd take the opportunity to see what others are doing, while I have the room bare!
Please feel free to link photos, or video tours of your setups. I'll be looking to post mine in a few weeks, after acquiring a few more pieces and setting them up.

“Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya. You did 2d6+4 damage to my father. Prepare to make a saving throw.”
These days I only play via Roll 20 and Discord. DM plays music via a discord bot and I have a pretty decent headset for sound.
If I could set up a room for in person games however I wanted to? I'd have a decent sized table with enough room for players and their books/sheets/etc plus space in the middle for a battlemat and minis but not too big that we can't reach to move those minis around comfortably. The only bright source of light would be a hanging lamp over the table, shaded to just put a cone of light on the players and table and various lava lamps and other decorative lighting fixtures that can be purchased at a typical novelty store for colorful backdrop. Any decent sound system that can be controlled via smartphone/laptop/tablet/etc for playlists and specific tracks on demand. The intent would be to feel like we're an island in the middle of a void, creating and living in our own little world.
I have been a long time tabletop player, and still have this as my preference, but due to the current world situation (Covid 19), I've had to adapt. I also play using Roll20 and Discord, it works quite well, although I was sceptical at the first. Our DM uses Rythm Bot for background music, or sounds.
It's all sort of thrown into my room, tidy, but the entire room is empty otherwise. I have some ideas, but wanted to see how others were making their setups. I'd welcome any suggestions for hardware that might be useful, or room layouts/themes that people use to make it feel immersive?
