[QUOTE="Sollir Furryfoot, post: 1065644, member: 748"] Well, being a piano player myself, what you're asking for may be a bit much. Unless you're improv-ing, it's going to be hard to get a repertoire of music that could fit every possible action the PCs might take-and depending on the length you have to play it, if you just keep repeating everyone might get bored. But, if you are good enough to play 3 hours straight (assuming that's how long a session is), of music like that, you usually good do the same at a restaurant, party or some other establishment-but get paid for it ;) And pretty decently, most people I know like that can get like $50 an hour or more, depending on their skill doing that. And let's not forget, unless you use a keyboard, you're kindof limited to where you have to play your game since a piano isn't usually easy to move around. As a gamer though, I it would be cool-but since you're playing the piano for the whole time you don't have time to play your character, so you're not gaming-you're just entertaining-which is cool if you can find some one who likes to do that over a group of players shouting about killing orcs and the rolling of dice ;) I'd just suggest instead just getting some CDs or similar for background music, or if you can bring a laptop or play near a computer that would be nice since you could put all your music files there, and just prepare the appropriate ones before the game and play them when needed. Just my 2 copper ;) [/QUOTE]
