Music and sound effects to enhance your game – Ask The Bellhop

September 15, 2018 by Moe T. Leave a Comment

Over on Google Plus, Emmett O'Brian asks,

What are some apps or techniques for playing music/sound effects while GMing?

Thanks for the question, Emmett. This question is a great follow up to our last question where we talk about tech at the table. In that, I note how technology can be fabulous for adding ambiance to your game night.

Emmett's question is about using music and sound during an RPG. I'm going to expand on that a bit and look at using sound and music during any game night, not just for RPGs. [ READ MORE ]

Tabletop Gaming Weekly – Aug 27 – #WhatDidYouPlayMondays

August 27, 2018 by Moe T. Leave a Comment

Every Monday I like to take part in #WhatDidYouPlayMondays, something started by Chris Cormier over at geekygoodies.com. With the launch of this website, I decided to take it a step further and instead of just listing what I played each week on social media I would actually write about each game. This also gives me a chance to talk about any gaming events or other cool things that happened during the week.

I had a great week gaming wise. Two games off the pile of shame: Clank! In! Space! and Lazer Ryderz. Played a few more games on Board Game Arena (Can't Stop, Race for the Galaxy and 7 Wonders) and learned some good news about the platform. Decided to try to get in more plays of games I own that I have only played one time, and to that end played Hardback and Flip City. Attended a game night at The CG Realm and managed to get in a couple more games: Terraforming Mars and Honshu. Like I said, a good week! [ READ MORE ]
