Ravenloft and music
Posted: Thu Mar 17, 2022 9:29 am
What is in Your opinion the best music to use on Ravenloft sessions?
It could be interesting to make a near definitive-list of pieces or CDs?
But it will be highly subjective, I know some here use metal tracks in their game. I do not like metal, so I do not use it. Some use the Lord of the Ring soundtrack, I do not as it is too charged with LotR images with our group. Etc. So it will vary depending on your taste and your group's.

If we make a list, these suggestions needs to have a short description. What could be the descriptive we use? I suggest:
Music type:
- Medieval
- Classical
- Pop
- Metal
- atmospheric
- ...
+ one or more mood descriptive:
- Sad
- Heroic, action and pursuits
- Mystery
- Exploration
- Stress
- Supernatural and the unknown
- Sounds
- circus
- vistani
- funeral
- religious ceremony
This is based on how I sorted my own collection of 1600+ mp3 on my disk drive.
Could add duration, and other relevant comment
It could be with a link to a youtube or another source?
So the list could be like:
Classed under supernatural and the unknown
Rock Water Wind (Blair Witch) (atmospheric) 7min (with strange noise and some stressful bits) (link)
Classed under stressful music:
A Sprig Of Red Grapes (From Hell Soundtrack) (classical) 5m14 (varies from calm and stressful moods) (link)
<------singing/chanting
) 1:35min
I will certainly try some of those...
