D&D General Campaign theme song?

[Tales and Chronicles]

I've a few theme songs and general battle songs:

This is War from 30 seconds to Mars
The Phoenix from Fallout Boys
What makes a good man from The Heavy

and some others.

No theme song.
OTOH, the Bard player usually hums this little ditty and it inevitably becomes an ear worm in my head:


(you're welcome)

Hehe. I used to have a shortcut on my phone to play the Price is Right fail music every time a player fumbled.

 

[Steampunkette]

I play this...


to hype myself up for Sins of the Scorpion Age sessions.

I've used AC/DC's Razor's Edge as a theme song for a Birthright campaign. I've used both Le Notti Erotiche dei morti Viventi by Marcello Giombini and Metropolis by Stelvio Cipriani as the theme songs for Chill campaigns.

I wanna run a game where this is kinda the theme. >.>

That's awesome. If anything captures the usual experience for my groups:

In my 3.5 "Kordovian Adventurers Guild" campaign, after the heroes started getting to be fairly well-known in the area I had bards writing songs about them. This is the one I wrote up and used as an example:

THE KORDOVIAN BAND

The kingdom of Kordovia is but a speck of land
But in that tiny country there are heroes well at hand
They travel 'cross the countryside, fight monsters for their kicks
Their power's near unlimited, though their number's merely six

To start with there's Finoula with her wave of silv'ry locks
She's tougher than a grizzly and she's crafty as a fox
With her twin blades in hand she races into mortal danger
But her heart holds no fear, for she's an undefeated ranger

Finoula is a powerhouse, but she's not all at hand
For there are five more heroes in the Kordovian band

Castillan's a bounder, he can race right up a wall
He'll leap right into battle, and you'll never see him fall
You'll watch his mighty exploits and then wonder if you saw it
He'll slash out with his short sword though you never saw him draw it

Castillan's a powerhouse, but he's not all at hand
For there are five more heroes in the Kordovian band

Binkadink's a little gnome but he is fierce and brave
He's slain a hundred monsters with his trusty gnomish glaive
His foes might try to run away but they have little hope
For Binkadink will chase them down on his fearsome jackalope

Binkadink's a powerhouse, but he's not all at hand
For there are five more heroes in the Kordovian band

And when it comes to wizardry, the band's got Gilbert Fung
His mastery of spellcraft's astounding for one so young
His knowledge of the arcane arts is always at its peak
And you know you're talking to him once Gilbert begins to speak

Gilbert Fung's a powerhouse, but he's not all at hand
For there are five more heroes in the Kordovian band

Darrien's an archer and he has a magic bow
That turns into a spider when he tells it to do so
His accuracy's amazing and it never seems to ebb
He'll shoot an arrow 'tween your eyes or wrap you in a web

Darrien's a powerhouse, but he's not all at hand
For there are five more heroes in the Kordovian band

Ingebold's a cleric and she worships Moradin
She steps right into battle with an eager dwarven grin
Though she is short in stature her warhammer is a whopper
And it's already proven that not even death can stop her

Ingebold's a powerhouse, but she's not all at hand
For there are five more heroes in the Kordovian band

So put them all together and you've got a fighting force
A band of strong adventurers forged in the Goblin Wars
They've beaten orcish armies and they've slaughtered the undead
You best not fight against them, or you'll likely lose your head!

There are six adventurers in the Kordovian band
And they're the fiercest combatants to ever cross this land!​

Anything Japan related, we use this.


Anything pirate or nautical related, we use this.

I listen to the theme to Black Sails as I drive to sessions I'm DMing.

This was the "theme" I went for our (Ravenloft) Falkovia one-shot last October:
