Music for Games

Be sure to read and follow the guidelines for our forums.

I know it's not for everyone, but I personally love including music in games. How about you?

• GP has its own Music Library, to which you can add.

@Kalajel's Resources and Free Games lists Playlists for RPGs

• @Phil_Ozzy_Fer posted about Dungeon Synth last month.

• One "problem" I used to have was finding the perfect music but it's too short for the scene. Or I only like a portion of it, and the rest is garbage. That was until I discovered YouTube On Repeat. You can create an infinite loop of your selected YouTube video - or just the portion you want, by using the Start and End sliders! You're welcome.

• I only run 1 game. Here's the music I've compiled for it (so far):

Battle Music
Darkest Dungeon - Battle Music
The Night of Long Fangs (Long Version)
Halo 5: Guardians OST- "Meridian Crossing" 4:08
The Witcher Boss Battle Music - Better Loop (HD) 5:16

I've found some other soundtrack sites which I'll be adding to my resource page eventually.

I would love to start incorporating music or audio into my posts but can you embed them or just have to include a link to the audio source? Honestly I haven't looked at the GP library so not sure how it even works.
Apr 10, 2017 10:37 pm
I usually leave a link to the audio source.
Apr 11, 2017 12:00 am
Yeah same here.

I love music and ambience in my RL games, really sets the tone. I use Battlebards, mostly.
Apr 13, 2017 9:16 am
I usually shy away from anything that requires registration, but have heard lots of good things about Battlebards. Maybe I'll finally sign up. :-)
Apr 17, 2017 9:16 pm
I've heard good things about both battlebards and Sirenscapes. both are used in podcasts that I listen too. Since I don't have a RL group and I don't think it would be cool to post their music here I haven't really investigated it that much.

I actually did it for Milo Cobblepot in the 5E Swashbuckling game we're playing together Jabes.

Vent Follet.

I also did it for a RL game DM'd by my friend. I picked this song for my half-drow Olin'myrdax "Dax" Torana.

Good stuff, @kalajel! But for me Milo always brings to mind the Bad Piper :-D

Yeah, this was also an inspiration for Milo. I still want to find that flaming bagpipes magic item eventually. :P

I just came across this. H.P. Lovecraft/Cthulhu inspired music
(spotify playlist). And then I discovered that there's a whole genre out there of music inspired by the Cthulhu mythos! Good stuff!

You should look up Adrian Von Ziegler. He's a fantastic composer and has alot of his stuff on his youtube channel.
Dec 4, 2017 6:20 pm
I'll do that. Thanks for the tip! :-)

Midnight Syndicate is awesome. I use it in my (IRL) World of Darkness games, kicking the playlist over to that periodically. Players get all creeped out because MS does that and they know I triggered it for a reason.
