Ripped off songs in your games

I don't think I've ever really done that. But I have picked songs as "theme songs" for certain games/characters/pairings or gotten inspited by songs for games I'm running

You might find this interesting. It's part of a longer discussion about using music in games.

The rusted chains of prison moons
Are shattered by the sun
I walk a road, horizons change
The tournament's begun
The purple piper plays his tune
The choir softly sing
Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
For the court of the crimson king

The black queen chants
The funeral march
The cracked brass bells will ring
To summon back the fire witch
To the court of the crimson king

That reminds me of this discussion about turning Hotel California into an adventure.

... running a whole adventure around a concept album that I love. Or designed a system for a game jam based on a neat song...

That reminds me of this discussion about turning Hotel California into an adventure.

What? Like Ribbon Drive?

Fair Flowers of the Valley Lyrics
There were three sisters in the wood, o fair flowers of the valley
And there they met a robber bold, and the birds they sang so sweetly
He showed the eldest his weapon knife o fair flowers of the valley
Will you go with me or lose your life, and the birds they sang so sweetly
O I'd rather that I lose my life, o fair flowers of the valley
Before I'd be a robbers wife, and the birds they sang so sweetly
Then with his knife so keen and sharp, o fair flowers of the valley
He pierced that maiden through the heart, and the birds they sang so sweetly

He showed the second his weapon knife, o fair flowers of the valley
Will you go with me or lose your life, and the birds they sang so sweetly
O I'd rather that I lose my life, o fair flowers of the valley
Before I'd be a killer's wife, and the birds they sang so sweetly
Then with his knife so keen and sharp, o fair flowers of the valley
He pierced that maiden through the heart,
and the birds they sang so sweetly

He showed the youngest his weapon knife, o fair flowers of the valley
Will you be mine or lose your life, and the birds they sang so sweetly
O I will never be your wife, o fair flowers of the valley
Nor do I fear to lose my life, and the birds they sang so sweetly
For I have a brother in these woods, o fair flowers of the valley
For many years an outlaw bold, and the birds they sang so sweetly
Before he'd let me be your wife, o fair flowers of the valley
He'd quickly take away your life, and the birds they sang so sweetly

Oh sister dear what have I done, o fair flowers of the valley
For now I know I'm your brother John, and the birds they sang so sweetly
He put his knife against his heart, o fair flowers of the valley
And from his sister he did part, and the birds they sang so sweetly
