Questions

Frequently Asked

What is DMX, and why does it matter for a game table?

DMX is the standard lighting-control protocol used in theater and stage shows. It lets many fixtures be addressed and cued independently and in sync — which is exactly what a scripted scene at the table needs: one cue can shift color, dim, and move light across every fixture at once.

What is QLC+?

QLC+ is the free, open-source software that drives the DMX fixtures. It's where scenes and chases are built and named — "torch flicker," "lightning strike," "boss reveal" — so they can be triggered instantly during a session.

What does the Stream Deck do?

It's the physical control surface. Each key is mapped to a scene, so a GM fires lights, sound, and rumble together with a single press — no menus, no laptop fumbling mid-session.

How long does setup take?

A self-install typically runs 2-4 hours: mounting fixtures, wiring the rumble packs, and loading the starter scene pack into QLC+. The Kit + Install tier includes an on-site setup instead.

Will this work with my existing table?

Most tables work with the included stand or clamp mounts. If you have a fixed canopy, overhead beam, or unusual dimensions, reach out before ordering and we'll confirm fit.

Where do the sound effects come from?

The starter library uses commercially licensed effects, cleared for this use. You can also drop in your own tracks — QLC+ and the Stream Deck setup both support custom audio.

When can I actually get a kit?

We're pre-launch and building toward a crowdfunding campaign to fund the first production run. Reserve a tier on the Storefront page or reach out on Contact to be notified the moment backing opens.
