[QUOTE="aboyd, post: 4806612, member: 44797"] I'm running the Cage of Delirium module; it comes with a soundtrack. I do use it. The players like it and request it when I get weary of it and want it off. Of course, they may notice that I am weary of it and ask for it just to drive me crazy. :) It mostly is used to set up a creepy mood (it's a haunted house module). However, it has a few tracks that include speech or secret messages. These tracks have to be played when characters enter certain areas or handle certain objects. So far, it has been fun. Never would I try to have "hero music" or "dangerous combat music" or similar. Too much juggling. Just finding the correct track and hitting "play" when the characters enter a room is enough of a distraction. I have, however, considered pre-recording speech for one NPC. The NPC is vile, powerful, and otherworldly. I would probably think of the 20 or 30 most likely interactions the players would have with this NPC, record the responses myself, and then alter the voice a whole lot to sound creepy and inhuman. Using audio for that one very important NPC might be something I eventually do. Also, my players at one point commissioned a bard to create a song about their exploits -- the bard created a bar song about them, rather than an ode or something. There is a local band that writes jigs and pirate music, and I've bookmarked their site with the idea that I might hire them at some point to put the bard's lyrics to music. So that's another way that music might creep into my game. [/QUOTE]
