I have a collection of mp3's and wav's that my brother helped organize into Battle Music, Suspense, Travelling, Scary, etc. But what takes the cake lots of time are the sound effects, but these are massively time consuming for a GM. It's hard enough to run an adventure while jumbling numbers and skipping to play tracks, without having to worry about queuing up "Demon Roar.wav", but often the payoff is worth it. We even spent some time one day with the guys and a microphone making innocuous background noise and clinking glasses together with varying amounts of water, then re-edited with a sound mixer to create "Tavern Sounds." Yes, it takes a little work, but it's fun. The easiest way to do it is to just have one or two sounds that will be used at a specific point, although i've gone overboard at times. I found it even harder in non-DnD games where i have sounds effects for:pistols, lugers, shotguns, combined gunfire, traffic, cars, trucks, planes, telephones, etc. But for horror games it works great to have a few distant screams, or growls, to really set players on edge.</blockquote>
