So me and my bro are going to build a DND table, and it is going to be in the shape of an octagon with a hole in the middle. We plan to place a TV that we will project maps on to in this hole. I need to know how long the sides of each one of the eight octagonal sides would be; I have included a horrible pic for reference. The hole in the middle should be 20x30 and in the long ways side should be 8in away from the edge of the table as shown in the pic. I need dimensions for each of the sides and any tips on how and what to build it with; Including what to cover the TV hole with. I was thinking about plexiglass, but I don't have a lot of money to spend on this. 200-300$ on wood and things. I have all the tools ill need, or at least should. Thanks in advance.

So, it needs to be 38" long and 38" wide?
>Cut a square 38x38.
>Divide 38 by 3.
>Mark that length from each corner.
>Mark from each mark across the corners.
>Cut corners off.
That what you want to know?

That's rather small. I'd recommend a 4 foot square table, maybe with 6-8 inches of the corners clipped off if you want a somewhat octagonal look.
Make the top out of oak plywood, with 1x4 oak boards around the edges for stifffness and to cover a 3/4" pine plywood layer under the oak top. Give it a classy old-looking stain for ambiance. Actual glass would make a better cover than plexiglass, which is flexible and easy to scratch. Thin window glass (cheap at hardware stores) would work if you can avoid hitting it, but thicker glass or polycarbonate would work if it needs to withstand impacts.

So, 46"
The 8 sides are 19.054" (19-1/16")
The Corner triangles to cut off are 13.47"x13.47" (13-15/32")

Cut it out with paper and put down some chairs, I fear you'll be knocking knees with your neighbour with that setup.
20" to a side is fucking nothing, once you push your chair a little under the table the room between people gets even less.
Semi-round tables are not space efficient.

You guys are going to be playing footsie with each other on a table that small.
Our gaming table for 8 people is 60"wide and 80"long with rounded ends.
We still run out of room.

Why do you want a 36' wide table? Why not just use the ground at that point?
I have a nice pathfinder table but it's only 3' wide, nowhere near 36'
Do you have life scaled minis or something?
