[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 7222626, member: 79141"] [B]Reflections turn into Ramblings[/B] Okay, so I just posted a link to a youtube clip of [I]Night On Bare Mountain[/I] to get my players in the mood for our next sesh. Posting music clips before a session is something I've done a couple of times recently. (We can't choose what music plays during the session because we play in a pub.) This got me thinking about a thread SanjMerchant started a few months ago that I didn't have time to respond to. Shortly after that, by sheer coincidence, one of my players posted a list of tracks he felt were appropriate for each character in our campaign, which was interesting because it was very different from what I would have chosen myself and made me realise how personal music choices are - perhaps to the extent that sharing them is almost pointless! That said, the fact is that I have had a [I]Zeitgeist [/I]playlist on my ipod since the campaign began. On it there are 'themes' for adventures or sections of adventures, for the campaign as a whole, for specific NPC and - perhaps most importantly - for each PC. When I'm out walking my dog, or driving to work, and ruminating on twists and turns for the next few sessions, I make sure to play the appropriate theme. It doesn't matter that the player might not recognise, might even disagree with my choice - or that the choice is in some cases totally anachronistic or lyrically inappropriate - as long as the track I've chosen creates the right mood in my very own head.
