“The groves were dark and silent, the stagnant waters oily black and green with algae, and the remaining wildlife clustered in the shadows. The trees loomed high above me, their dark, gnarled branches clawing at the moonlit sky, while here and there the shriek of a nightbird or the yelp of ...

Hey folks,
I've added a bunch of new playlists to Spotify featuring my music + some other tracks from folks in the TTRPG music community.
"The god squats arrogantly on a dais of stone, as if it were an emperor in a long, winding robe of purple and gold. A flat, featureless head towers above the rest of the body, sprouting numerous eyes and antennae. A long, pallid tongue hangs from its gaping maw, occasionally touching the grou...

"You explore the ancient ruins, running your hands along the smooth, unknown material. You feel as though you are on the verge of discovering some great secret, some hidden knowledge that is just out of reach. But then, you see it: a rift in space-time, a crack in the very fabric of reality. ...

"They were once worshipped with the same fervor as the sun and the moon. But now, they are all but forgotten. They are the forgotten gods, relegated to the shadows of people's memories. It wasn't always like this, of course. In the days of yore, these deities were venerated and their temples ...

"A dark veil of night swept across the crowd, and the choir sang a dirge to a hero lost. Their voices flowed and echoed off the stone walls of the cathedral, which was lit by countless candles and encrusted with jewels on its towering spires and gilded altar. They sang in a dead language, but...

"A ray of light, the grey and muted colour that comes before the dawn, peeks through the woven branches and gaps in the canopy of the forest. The birds fly in a great wave across the sky, like a river of brown and black, silent and seemingly unending. The world is so still; the ground, moss-c...

I've added a new track to the Bonus Tracks folder in the download archive. It's an older one from before I started Tabletop RPG Music, but I included it in my recent '1 hour of Atmospheric and Relaxing Fantasy Music' video as it fit the theme nicely. It's a delicate tracks featur...

From an open manhole, you take a step down into the dank tunnels beneath the endless metropolis. Discarded nutrient cubes and broken bottles litter the ground, and your hand comes away slick with bio-plasmic fluid as you steady yourself against the wall. You see neon signs shining through a l...

A tingly sensation of magic dances across your fingertips as you entered the throne room. The crystal, as though alive, holds the light of the sun and moon and stars and throws them into a thousand rainbows on the walls, ceiling, and floor. On the far side of the room, a throne made of the sa...

The scent of cinnamon rolls, fresh bread and freshly-baked pies drift on the air. You see humans and elves, but also some dwarves. They all seem to be having a great time, hearing stories or songs, eating or drinking. A few are even dancing a merry jig.

The banner on the airship flutters in the breeze. Warring airships hover and dive, cannons pierce the clouds, gunfire and explosions rip through the air, the occasional fireball ignites the sky.
