This month's track request poll was won by patron Greg Brunell with his suggestion "Life Returning to a Tainted Forest." I went back and forth a bunch of times on how I wanted to tackle this. If I started the track with a "corrupted" section, it w...

I bet none of you heard the original "Gold Is Meant to Be Spent" and thought to yourself, "hmm, this would make for a great lullaby." If you did, well... man, I guess you and I are on the same page. This lullaby version of the track is perfect for...

Well, it's a bit late, but one of the two winners of last month's track request poll was "Muzak d20: Tunes to Shop By." Now, "muzak" is a style of corporate music whose sole purpose is to get people to buy things. It's designed to have more or les...

This more upbeat variant of my track "Dillinger Gate" has got tech heist vibes all over it. I tagged it "Infiltration" because to me it seems most useful for intense sci-fi moments that aren't quite combat. Maybe you're carefully sneaking your way...

I truly love creating relaxed, atmospheric, spacey synth tunes. This track is an ambient variant of "We Dug Too Deep." The obvious use is calm moments in a sci-fi campaign: aboard your starship, wandering a Jedi temple, or simply exploring t...

I know it's almost too cliché these days, but I still love roleplaying taverns. It's a great way to establish the vibe of town, get some plot hooks, and flesh out the relationships between the PCs. It's such an iconic part of fantasy RPGs, and wh...
