[QUOTE="kensanata, post: 4798292, member: 47845"] I tried it by using a CD and writing down a few key elements of the various track. I knew the track that started with a bang and was useful for combat and I planned to switch to that as the dice fall for initiative. It turned out to complex to juggle. I forgot to turn it off when combat ended until a player complained; I forgot to turn it on half the time; it took me critical seconds between combat announcement and die rolls to skip to the right track. Lesson learnt. I no longer do this. I do scream "DO DOO DOO DOOOOOM!!!!" at the table at opportune moments, however. The players already start laughing when I start with "Ok, so you're walking down this corridor, when... [looking up stuff] dumdidumdidooo..." they will react with "Watch out, random encounter incoming!!" In a way I have maybe three or four such "musical" humming themes that I use at the table. :) [/QUOTE]
