Like tens of
thousands of other gamers, Lee Gaddies was making the transition from
X-Box and online games to the more social aspect of board games and
miniatures. As things progressed, he discovered the need for a dedicated
gaming surface and became aware of the limited space in his home
environment. That's when the search for a viable, affordable solution
began. And expanded.
Many of the 'old timer'
miniatures and roll players had configured large, unwieldy particle
board surfaces in their basement for such purposes. Others had invested
heavily in custom built furniture. But for Lee, the option of a massive
piece of furniture, and the price that came with it, would not work with
his limited space and budget. He seized upon the idea that “there must
be another way,” and the Gaddis Gaming table topper was born.
Sketching out his vision
with architect buddy Nathan Harvey, Lee came up with a simple solution
that could be used as a table topper for any existing piece of furniture
or card table. His requirements: it must be light weight, not something
that would scratch fine furniture, and safe for children.
