This would be more than awesome. Unfortunately my eyes glazed over looking at the tutorial. Electronics is not my strong suit. |

Has no one looked at this? I would have expected a lot more excitement for something this cool. |

That would be an awesome thing to have hanging over a game for atmosphere. Or even just in my apartment, although I can already see my cat swinging from it, mad with glee. As an atmospheric touch, I have run a few games at the club around here with my laptop playing environmental sound effects, which I personally think ads a nice element. I use an application that offers all sorts of white noise on an endless loop to play the sounds of a little wind, ocean waves and lapping water. Not too loud, just subtly. I feel like it helps set the scene. |

It's nice, but I've no where to put it. Storing it and how would one use it in a game? You would have to hang it over the table. Too high it would be like a Christmas decoration. too low it would be hard to play under. I hope I and my friends could see an area of storms in our heads, if it's marked out. Be safe Rory |

Ok, ok! Sorry, I thought it was really cool.:-( |

Vol It is cool. Just thinking how to use, power and store it? Being light would help me think about having my ships under it. Be Safe Rory |

I think it's really cool! be fun to add to the specialty lighting setup I'm plotting (blacklights to power the fluorescent paints on some models, LED and EL lighting in the buildings…). Just need to figure out how/where to put it. |

Oooh…..I want to come over to your house to play Lion! ;-) |

Great atmospheric tool! Like whitejamest, I've played sound effects, but I use a loop of sea chanties as background. |
