I’ve been using the soundtracks from the good old Infinity Engine videogames and they work amazingly well for the classic “adventurer party looking for gold and glory” theme, but I want to hear about your experiences and get some suggestions you might have : )

  4. I’ve done well with a few Midnight Syndicate albums. They actually got the job to do an official Dungeons & Dragons soundtrack which I’m fond of, and several of their other albums are awesome as background music for Call of Cthulhu.

    And then when I ran a convention game of Star Munchkin RPG, I used a track titled Carmen Miranda’s Ghost is Haunting Space Station 3. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5p8YhhaVlA )

  8. Yes. The players and I love it. I have a series of playlists on spotify categorized for what the heroes could be up to: peaceful/steading, perilous journey, dungeon, combat, Big Bad, Holy Place, etc. Link to my profile below if you want to check them out. Mostly a mix of Witcher and Dragon Age albums with a smattering of others. Hope you like it.
