Hey all! Today I'm super excited to give you a whole bunch of goodies from my friends over at Mage Hand Press. They're currently running an awesome Kickstarter for their ne...
2021-09-11 17:00:35 +0000 UTC View PostI went a bit buck-wild making minis the past few days. Ended up making a nice stash, so once everything is edited, I'll be able to drop 8 minis total this month. I invited some requests from the Discord which thankfully helped me stay a b...

Hello patrons!
I've mentioned it before, but today I would like to more formally announce my newest RPG pr...
2021-09-04 13:24:52 +0000 UTC View PostNew month, new track request poll!
Welcome to fall, y'all! Hope this summer wasn't too catastrophically hot for you. If it was, whelp, it's only getting worse! This month sees very few of the typical requests. Now that "Combat Jazz" ha...

While you can score most forests / plains / mountains / valleys / rivers / etc with DnD Voyage, DnD Calm, or DnD Campfire depending on the context, deserts as a setting for tabletop campaigns require their own music to set the scene. While no two ...
2021-08-22 14:44:13 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
I did one of these polls in August 2020 as well, but I also had half as many patrons this time last year. So I ask you again: how the heck did you find out about me?
This info is incredibly helpful for me to identify which for...
2021-08-20 11:54:36 +0000 UTC View PostI love some arrhythmic harmonic washes of sound. That's probably why I've tackled so many moody ambiences lately; there's just something really satisfying about painting a scene with just textures, and largely ignoring through line melodies. It do...
2021-08-18 11:47:47 +0000 UTC View PostI run story-heavy campaigns. Combat, strategy, and dungeoneering are important, but my players particularly like engaging with far-reaching plots and historically-informed intrigue. That creates a bit of a dilemma for gameplay pacing! For my playe...
2021-08-18 11:39:53 +0000 UTC View PostSlightly bigger stack of minis for this post! I couldn't help myself and made a fifth tune after completing the first four. Here's what you'll find inside:
I took all the intensity out of "Spike!" and it turns out it's still a good jazz tune!
Look... I have no idea when you'd use this in an RPG sesh, but I guess if your players hit up a 1960s cocktail lounge or something this'll be approp...
2021-08-09 12:35:16 +0000 UTC View PostOkay fine! You finally asked for it!
Combat Jazz
It's been requested month after month by Discord power user brettod, and somehow he finally wore you all down. Combat Jazz won the track request poll handily this month. T...
2021-08-09 12:30:35 +0000 UTC View PostI don't really do melodrama too often. Maybe I just prefer subtler emotion in my music, or perhaps there's some deep-rooted insecurity with bearing my soul in an audio context. I mean, it took me over a year of running Music d20 before I released ...
2021-08-02 13:05:37 +0000 UTC View PostI think one of the fundamental strengths of a good RPG party is the way in which the individual adventurers may not be have teamed up together under normal circumstances. A smarmy bard, an idealistic holy knight, the edgy rogue, the practical barb...
2021-08-02 12:57:22 +0000 UTC View PostWe made it another month! From what I can tell, summer is a time where lots of folks end up with scheduling conflicts for their weekly sessions. Let me send out a prayer to all y'all who are trying to make your campaigns work despite busy calendar...
2021-08-01 13:09:13 +0000 UTC View PostNote: Please send in track requests for the August track request poll! Limit one per patron. If you submit more than one, I'm just going to take whichever you write first. Drop it in the comments or the Discord. T...
2021-07-26 13:46:47 +0000 UTC View PostI really love it when a track of mine so neatly fits into two halves. This week I've split "Helgisiðir" into a percussion stem, and a "most of the other stuff" stem.
"Helgisiðir (Just Percussion)" is perfect for combat, especially somethin...

2021-07-22 00:27:44 +0000 UTC View PostI love making music that people listen to. I spent years making tune after tune and playing gig after gig to tiny tiny audiences. It was fun, and I learned a lot, but I'm much happier now that (thanks to you!), I have a decent audience fo...
2021-07-16 13:47:00 +0000 UTC View PostBut nothing I could say could even adumbrate the loathsome, unholy, non-human, extra-galactic horror and hatefulness and unutterable evil of that forbidden spawn of black chaos and illimitable night. &nbs... 2021-07-16 13:36:27 +0000 UTC View Post
One of my favorite tropes in tabletop RPGs is throwing players into a magical scenario that is ambiguously dangerous. Some illusory terrain and spells of charming can lead to dire consequences, but just as often there are mysterious forces that, w...
2021-07-15 18:08:32 +0000 UTC View PostThat goofy '80s synthwave is great for campy horror, but sometimes you just need big rock drums and guitars. I usually don't use too much rock music in my own campaigns, but man... whipping it out every once in a while can really set a fire under ...

2021-07-06 12:33:17 +0000 UTC View PostSometimes it's good to throw challenges at your players that are simply beyond their combat abilities. Discovering a horrific creature or a giant battalion at low levels and just KNOWING that they'll TPK you if you try to fight it can cause a ton ...
2021-07-02 13:22:12 +0000 UTC View PostMy players will often attempt to go the noncombat route whenever possible. Especially against humanoid enemies, it rarely seems like the best move to literally murder people when anyone has "Good" written down for their alleged alignment. That's w...

But of course, it's the first ...
2021-07-01 13:20:23 +0000 UTC View PostIt's very satisfying for me to strip an arrangement waaay back to its barest skeleton. It's even better when I can be smart about building a track intentionally to be peeled apart. For "Aldyn's Gone Dark," I started with the piano basically every ...
