Hi everybody! I've just released my newest EP, Into the Wilds. This collection of music was made possible by my friend Tom Cartos, an excellent map maker and tabletop creator. He made a 2023-02-03 15:16:09 +0000 UTC View Post
I've been meaning to tweak my combat playlist for quite some time now. Some folks like to get really granular with how they score each of the modes of combat; they'll have separate playlist for skirmishes, duels, goblin fights, etc. I don...

Don't lie to me! Your players are idiots! It's just true! Don't you friggin' lie to me! They're going to do dumb stuff constantly. Hijinks, tomfoolery, etc. And when they do, it'll probably feel pretty discordant if you have some Epic Skyrim Sound...

Steampunk rules. It does! It is very cool! Victorian fantasy + anachronistic mechanisms is just a winning formula. There's also decidedly little intentionally steampunk music. I feel like lots of RPG composers (myself included!) will occa...

I've been meaning to make this one for a long time. Weirdly, it seems most of my peers in the "music for tabletop" space haven't really put out too many Western-themed tracks. I really like running frontier adventures in my own campaigns, and it's...

I realized recently that I don't really have anything in my library for that specific form of high fantasy trope: the epic, noble, majestic, powerful, proud, royal sound. Dwarven strongholds and vast war camps and the like. They all sound...
