Hey everyone! So, I check out the "What are you listening to right NOW?!" thread a fair bit, and I check in there to catch what people like. Found a couple of things I'd normally not consider, which is great. I like listening to music in the background of when I'm playing, nothing too intrusive. I've got a couple of songs for different characters I play that I feel fit them well, and there's a thread for that too  Anyway - I found myself wondering if anyone here uses Spotify much and if they have playlists they've saved they'd like to share around. I much prefer that to streaming over youtube or other stuff for music when I'm playing. I've some stuff saved, like Critical Role's D&D ambient playlist for example, good range of songs there for RPing I find. (I haven't watched much of Season 2 yet, huge slacker that I am).
Feel free to share here, I'm gonna compile something for general listening soon, just a case of finding good songs I like. I try and be pretty open minded, though.  |

I don't use Spotify, but I'm definitely guilty of being a dork who listens to the FF8 soundtrack while playing sometimes for dramatic effect...Like tonight for example.
While the VR crew was in High Horn at the inn...
Through the tunnels of the UD...
Entering the enemies lair...
The Return...
I probably need some help, but the FF8 soundtrack is my go-to for getting into the mood for RP events LOL.

I usually don't listen to music while playing, but that epic fight at the end did bring some to mind.
I go Defensive Stance, then the fight moves elsewhere... I die, get Raised, and then like as not die again before I can heal..
My theme music, of course, was

I don't use spotify either when I play, but I do listen to music a lot - mostly EDM latelly. I tend to listen to 24/7 ASOT a lot.
I use songs from Ariean's thread as well for a lot of situations and different moods (that's why the list there is growing).
The latest songs I've been listening to are (especially when preparing for IG fight) are:

EDM and Final Fantasy music. Thank you for sharing I never played FF8.... I know. I'm sorry. I will one day... one day.My peoples <3. I got Crypt of the Necrodancer on Playstation Plus a while ago as a freebie, and I have to admit I sucked at it, but it was pretty fun, and I really liked the OST too. Just some fun listening, I guess generally that I enjoy instrumental stuff than heavy lyrics stuff when I'm playing, but all is good and there's exceptions to every rule. |

Let's not close this topic just yet. I'm also curious about other's choices.
I haven't played FF either and I think I never will.

I never played FF8.... I know. I'm sorry. I will one day... one day.Gasp! I haven't played FF either and I think I never will. GASP!! JK. The games are fun, FF8 happens to have a soundtrack I like best, but it's probably 75% nostalgia, because that was my first and favorite FF game. It doesn't have the best mechanics, but outside of NWN i'm pretty casual about video games and mostly play games that tell a compelling story I'd like to play though, most of the time at least. There's a couple games I play because I like the mechanics despite the story. I got Crypt of the Necrodancer on Playstation Plus a while ago as a freebie, and I have to admit I sucked at it, but it was pretty fun, and I really liked the OST too. Just some fun listening, I guess generally that I enjoy instrumental stuff than heavy lyrics stuff when I'm playing, but all is good and there's exceptions to every rule. I actually like that track, but must have missed the free download that month. For FRC, I prefer non-verbal music for getting in the right mood for an RP situation, because let's face it, a lot of time a player isn't going to be in the same mindset as their character. Like above is what helps my get into sync with the my character's environment, and when the music is non-verbal it's abstract enough to plug into whatever necessary situation. I don't play music for short RP situations or encounters, but I do for long RP sessions to help me stay in the right mindset. For example, when I host the Revel events, I'm likely to play a different tempo of music. But ya, that's my Midsummer Playlist each year, heh. |

While I sit and design my next few DM encounters today, you know... just generally planning trouble for you all to have to deal with in the near future. (But those details man, they matter. I want you to know how much I love you as I kill your characters. Priorities my friends.) I am currently listening to one of my favorite think and game albums. Undertale remixes.  |

You might also want to check out Life is Strange, and Life is Strange Before the Storm. |
