Note: This is a part of my 5E Mystara conversion series of articles looking at what I have done to bring the original setting of Mystara to my D&D 5th Edition tabletop. One of the rule mechanics I loved from the older edition of Dungeons and Dragons now […]
After a little waiting I finally received all the parts to add new internal speakers to my Arcade1Up machine. The original plan was to mount them into the control panel and have the audio pumping out through speakers just above the player buttons but I ended up heading […]
At E3 2019 Microsoft finally revealed the next expansion to Forza Horizon 4 and it was arriving within days too. Following the trend set by its predecessor with a “serious” (Blizzard Mountain) expansion first and then the “fun one” (Hot Wheels) after that it was a real buzz […]
The last Star Wars campaign was adventure focused – running set pieces that had been published and taking the characters through those stories as the campaign with no downtime or side quests for personal growth. This design was to give me an understanding of the rules and test […]
We’re on the other side of E3 and looking back at my pre-show predictions I thought it was worth following up with another post to see how I fared. Xbox “Scarlett” might get a reveal like the Xbox One X did with the Project Scorpio announcement that revealed […]
A small update while I’m waiting for the rest of my parts… After getting the controls up and running with the RetroPie and Arcade1Up cabinet I’ve spent quite a few hours “testing” games and seeing how it all holds up at this stage. And for the most part […]
Once again Nintendo may not have a presentation at E3 but they still had plenty to say and show via their Nintendo Direct. I’ll keep it short and sweet so you can jump through to the video. 🙂 Luigi’s Mansion 3 looks really, really good. I’m sure there’s […]
It’s been over 22 years since Square Enix released its genre defining RPG Final Fantasy VII but judging by the trailer shown at their E3 presentation it looks like the long awaited remake might be arriving soon. Potentially boasting two Blu-ray discs full of content Final Fantasy VII […]
The house that Rayman built opened their presentation with music from their past games which reminded me a little of a past Sony presentation which made use of an orchestra. It certainly made it feel more low key and professional… no Just Dance enthusiasts bouncing around here this […]
When I end a campaign storyline with my players I usually like to discuss what I would like to run next or simply state what is planned and ask who wants to join in.. As I run three games a week with each of those run once a […]
Getting into roleplaying games the old fashioned way... with dice!
The story of one person’s attempts to make their Rampage Arcade1Up cabinet do more.
Our own tips and experiences while trying to make a living out in the black.
After a week and a half of reading my own book aloud the design proof is complete. I am so glad my publisher advised me to read aloud, because I picked up a lot of corrections, due to the fact some of the sentences just weren’t as good as they could be. Wolf and the […]
