[QUOTE="Sammael, post: 4689182, member: 4475"] I usually play generic ambiental music or soundtracks in the background. However, in my last campaign, I had one session which was entirely devoted to music - the party bard had to go through a "musical maze" to locate a source of the True Song (q.v. Seeker of the Song prestige class); each twist in the maze was represented by a different sound-based creature (harpies, sirines, abeils, etc.) and he had to find a way to suppress the creatures' sound effects to be able to better hear the background music of the maze and locate its source. I hand-picked each creature's theme song and played it during the encounter (IIRC, he resolved all but two of the encounters, and he only resolved one through combat). To make the session fun for everyone, I handed over control of the creatures to the other players, who had fun trying to deter the bard from his quest. Here are the themes I used: DESTRACHAN Michael Hoenig - Baldur's Gate, The Last Battle HARPY E.S. Posthumus - Ebla SATYR Greensleeves SIRINE Heroes of Might & Magic 2, Ocean Theme MUD SLAAD Mark Morgan - Planescape: Torment, Ravel’s Maze LILLEND Debussy - Clair de Lune CRYPT CHANTER Saint-Saens - Danse Macabre GALEB DUHR Jeremy Soule - Icewind Dale, Kuldahar Valley Theme FIRRE Heroes of Might & Magic 2, Sorceress Theme ABEIL QUEEN Rimsky-Korsakov - Flight of the Bumblebee TRUMPET ARCHON Wagner - Ride of the Valkyries WIND GHOST Ennio Morricone - Le Vent, Le Cri SONG DRAGON Beethoven - Ode to Joy DEATH KNIGHT Heroes of Might & Magic 2, Necropolis Theme [/QUOTE]
