Some good gaming music

First Post
Usually when my gaming group has a session, we play soundtracks for background music. We've used alot of movie soundtracks, Conan, Gladiator, LOTR. Well recently when I ran a session for the first time, I found myself only having a videogame soundtrack... for World of Warcraft. I was suprised but the music was pretty good.

Just saw this today, and from the sample tracks, the orchestral performance is very good. Sounds like some excellent gaming music.

yeah...I don't think the Rouse is joking. I saw him dancing and spinning in his cubicle with headphones on earlier holding a picture of Ann Coulter.

Has anyone told you that there is a person in a Yahoo Ad that resembles you? I saw you on a game zero vid one time around Gencon then went to check my Yahoo mail and the ad happened to be showing.

Not your screen monkey (he/him)
There's a soundtrack to the Rune video game by Human Head Studios out there somewhere too. I picked it up a few Gen Cons ago and it makes for good gaming fare.

Lots of good music, there, Scott, but you're missing Hawkwind for serious fantasy related metal (it doesn't have to be a recording with Michael Moorcock, but it doesn't hurt if he's written the lyrics).

And, of course, as it is my solemn duty to pop in to any RPG music related thread I see, Corvus Corax.
