Hello everyone! I am very pleased to announce a new adventure collaboration from a really talented group of creators, led by Venatus Maps. You can find information on each...
2020-09-13 15:48:01 +0000 UTC View PostI've done a few sci-fi tracks now, and they all share a certain degree of tension or unease. For those of you who have actually played sci-fi TTRPGs though, you know that sometimes things are just fine! Your space ship is functional. ...
2020-09-10 14:04:47 +0000 UTC View PostWhile the prototypical RPG village is beset by issues that the PCs will eventually address, sometimes it's good to roleplay a city that's actually doing just fine! Maybe this is a trade hub, an idyllic farming community, or even just that original...
2020-09-10 13:58:01 +0000 UTC View PostI've split "Hordebreaker" up into two versions:
"Generic Tracks" won the track request poll this month, so I've decided to squeeze as many standard tracks into this month (and probably early October) as I can, in between the requisite collaborations and commissions. Now, when I say "stand...
2020-09-07 15:47:01 +0000 UTC View PostI quite enjoy when video games have distinct nighttime themes for cities. Towns like Kakariko Village in Breath of the Wild or Venice in Assassin's Creed 2 feel like completely different locations when the sun sets, and ...
2020-09-01 22:08:36 +0000 UTC View PostHappy September, y'all! Lots of great submissions this month. I think this one is going to be really competitive! Same rules apply as always:
Hey hey everybody, just a quick grab bag today! First things first: please send in track requests for the September track request poll! To be honest, I'm always a bit surprised by how FEW requests we normally get. This is your cha...
2020-08-30 21:47:57 +0000 UTC View PostHey all! I'm trying to figure out what my next Spotify playlist will be. So far I have City, Calm, Combat, Dungeon, Eastern, Villains, Intense, Voyage, Metropolis, and Space. I feel like that covers a bunch of the standard RPG settings / scenarios...
2020-08-26 13:57:06 +0000 UTC View PostThis sparse mix of "Myrilight Clocktower" is great for protracted conversations with goofy characters. Perhaps you need to spend a long time speaking with slightly batty old sage, and you want to tone down the music for a bit so as to not be distr...

I've been really enjoying my collaborations with Venatus Maps lately. In addition to his awesome Illithid Lair map he created for my 2020-08-24 14:56:31 +0000 UTC View Post
Sometimes a somber evening is mitigated by good company. The villain got away, but the tavern still has some good pals. Tomorrow, the grief will remain, but tonight there's time to revel.
"Don't Weep for the Fallen (Tavern)" is your go-to fo...

In some campaigns, a player character death is a trivial matter. I'm sure many of you have shown up to a Tomb of Annihilation session with multiple back-up character sheets at the ready. However, a player death in a more drawn-out campaign is a bi...

Hi all!
Cool news. I've been intermittently working on some track for an indie game called The Glitch Fairy, and the developers just uploaded 7 of my boss tracks to their YouTube page. These aren't specifically TTRPG themed, but I'm...
2020-08-19 16:27:22 +0000 UTC View PostHi all! I want to let you know that Patreon HQ just rolled out annual payments for certain creators, and I'm lucky enough to be included. This means that instead of paying once a month, you can pay upfront for an entire year of Music d20 2020-08-18 17:43:28 +0000 UTC View Post
I hope you enjoyed the new adventure we released today! If you couldn't notice, I've really been enjoying Western / Frontier adventures, and that's been influencing a lot of the music I've been working on lately.
For this track variant...

Not all RPG stories take place on rustic medieval back roads. Sometimes you end up in the start void, high above the world. Maybe you're projecting into the astral plane, traveling aboard a Spelljammer, or just pulling some wild homebrew shenaniga...
2020-08-14 12:02:22 +0000 UTC View PostI really love the idea of a band of total buffoons defeating a wise wizard. Some insanely powerful master of arcana just gets choke slammed by the local barbarian. It's such a fun trope, and like... "Sword and Sorcery" is its own genre for that re...
2020-08-13 13:16:41 +0000 UTC View PostThis month, you all voted for "Huge Wizard Tower" in the August Track Request Poll. To be honest, I struggled a bit with this, because I had just rolled out "Ritual Forge" last month as part of the 2020-08-13 13:11:28 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey y'all! Believe it or not, it's been almost a full year since I started this Patreon. In the past 11 months, I've released almost 4 hours of standard tracks, many more hours of loops and variants, a playback app, 9 Spotify playlists, and oodles...
2020-08-10 19:36:27 +0000 UTC View PostOne of my favorite RPG tropes is the wasteland town. Sometimes that's pretty literal—90% of the towns you encounter throughout the Fallout series have this sort of frontier Americana vibe while still being nearly lifeless outside of the...
2020-08-09 18:44:15 +0000 UTC View PostLike I said in the main post, "Slay the Serpent" is busy as heck. There's blustering brass and choppy percussion and all sorts of complementary vibes piling on top of each other. Maybe you just want an exciting desert evening without all of the bo...

Every once in a while, I'll write a track for a client, and even if they like it, they deem it not quite appropriate for their project. Sometimes that's a blessing! For example: right now! This track was written for a certain indie game t...
2020-08-04 20:44:25 +0000 UTC View PostWelp, it's looking like it's that time of the month again: THE BEGINNING OF IT. That means it's time for some track requests. I'll likely be submitting Music d20: Vol. 3 to storefronts by the end of the month, so this is your last chance to decide...
2020-08-01 19:02:45 +0000 UTC View PostI hope you enjoyed that new Team Superhydra adventures! I always get excited when we release big bundles like that with goodies from all my regular collaborators. And I hope you enjoyed my new track! I know some folks have been clamoring for "drag...

2020-07-31 19:09:40 +0000 UTC View PostJuly's almost over and I'm very sweaty! One of the worst things about recording music is that microphones are really good at picking up the sound of your fan / AC, so you gotta shut that all off when you're tracking some accordion and man...
2020-07-28 16:53:56 +0000 UTC View PostThis rendition of "Skirmish Topside (Arcade)" is the originally barely remastered version of my track from an undisclosed project from a few years ago. It is absolutely cheesy as hell, and I totally love it. Accordions, faux-mandolins, an...
2020-07-24 00:47:26 +0000 UTC View PostThe weird thing about writing music for hire is that sometimes you write a track that you love, but since you wrote it for someone else, you no longer actually own the track and can't do anything with it. This is overwhelmingly worse when...
