if anyone played jet force gemini, you'll get nostalgia, there's pretty good sci fi music in there

It didn't work? Sorry. Maybe this?

I really like club/lounge chill rearrangements. I find them useful bgms surprisingly often, also just as general low-volume background noise before/after session or during breaks.

During my homebrew, I sometimes play:
>Dan Terminus
>Perturbator
>Mega Drive
>Power Glove
>Lazerhawk
Not blasting in the background all the time. Only during some battle sequences. I'll also periodically play some of the slower songs more softly for atmosphere.

awesome playlist man going to steal some of it

>It didn't work? Sorry. Maybe this?

all good, I'm retarded I clicked the youtube ''embed'' link instead of copying the playlist link

Danger for action:

How do you do it?

Do you just have a laptop beside you?

Do you guys just go "wait a sec, let me put the boss fight music"

Phone, speakers

why would you ruin your atmosphere with this

>Do you guys just go "wait a sec, let me put the boss fight music"

Duh

Kek but wouldn't it be awkward?

>ruin

What? how?

It's not an experience for everyone, but it might be my favorite series.For me, it has a strange and beautiful atmosphere that I can't fully explain. Especially the first one.

>Kek but wouldn't it be awkward?

...why would it be awkward?

Personally I dislike using OSTs players are too familiar with. I want the atmosphere to be unique to our game, not associated with something else.

So I usually make my own playlists for games. But that's a lot of effort. I don't mind since I'm constantly finding and listening to new music anyway.

>playing with people that play vidya

Ew

Soundtracks of all kinds are a staple at our games

>How do you do it?
Preparedness is the key, you unorganized faggot.

1. Choose some tracks. 2. Rename them, so you know which song is what (combat, suspense, nightclub, creepy...). 3. Put them all in a playlist.

During the session, the music player is on (can be on laptop or mobile phone), the playlist is visible. Just double click on the track you want to play. It's not fucking rocket science.

I would like to have sex with this lady, if you know what I mean.

First thing, before using music, you should be a good GM. Don't fiddle with music as long as you don't know the system well.

Second thing that one must take into account is that a RPG is not a movie. In a movie first the movie is shot, then the music is done. The composer knows that a given scene lasts exactly 2:37 and the climax will be at 1:58. Therefore the track will be tailored to this. In an RPG, you don't have this luxury of knowing what will happen. A scene will take as long as it takes. For this reason, I consider movie OST's to be a bad choice. The tracks are usually too short and are not meant to be repeated. A better option are video games in-game tracks, as they are meant to be repeated indefinitely.

Third thing to consider is that TTRPG's are played by speaking, having a track with vocals might distract GM and players.

What I do, personally: I choose two or three main tracks without vocals than can be repeated easily and two or three tracks for action sequences. The music player is put on Repeat Song so I don't have to play the DJ during play.

Example: Let's imagine I'm the GM for a Delta Green session. My main track for the beginning of the session could be youtube.com/watch?v=hADFOZY5BUs. I know that one part of the story will take place in a natural park so I might also choose something like this for the sequences in the wilderness: youtube.com/watch?v=aiAmAcaDQrM. Once the story will start to reveal and things become more creepy, I will use this track: youtube.com/watch?v=ppiGTLqfaWc. For action sequences (combats and escapes), I will use: youtube.com/watch?v=zZ8lLz8B5wg&list=PL8EC0C246F33B351D and youtube.com/watch?v=zYZuKCrHr_M.

Thanks for the tips man

Our Cyberpunk campaign featured a lot of the Metropolis re-score by The New Pollutants.

Also due to the themes of the campaign we had parts from the many Ghost in the Shell ost.

Also Lounge and Electro Jazz and some 90s Pop to garnish.

In our current Gamma World campaign, our DM generally just uses a large collection of ambient music she has.

No problem, man.

I hate that these pictures always look soo cool until you try to figure out the scale.
The houses in the foreground are either tents, or the windows in the background are as tall as a 10 story building

I have a massive set of playlists I use for when I run 40k rpgs or play the tabletop game. Different playlists for ambient, creepy, or battle situations, and divided by faction, so I can play different music depending on where the PCs are/who they're interacting with/what they're doing. I've been kicking around putting the whole thing up on youtube
