| Looks like the next step for Wizards is to bring you gaming music. They're polling for favorite music genres, artists, concert attendance, and methods of distribution. I can just see the marketing plugs now....
Purchase Exemplars of Evil now and received five free Metallica or Rammstein mp3 downloads.
Or...
Coming soon to the E-Center (local event venue)...Garth Brooks, LIVE, in concert. Featuring a touching new ballad lamenting the demise of gnomes.

| Could be they're going to offer ambience music through DDI for download.
They a;ready did the D&D soundtrack a few years ago...
In fact, I have 4 Official D&D soundtracks.
Midnight Syndicate RPG soundtrack
Pool of Radiance PC Game Soundtrack (my favorite)
Movie Soundtrack
Eberron soundtrack (from Sharn book)

| I love the midnight syndicate. But that poll, not much interesting... I don't do background music in my sessions, too distracting.
It's nothing new, DnD music has been a thing for years now, and will be for years to come. | |

I always try to send through delivery confirmation, and I expect the same. It's only 55 cents extra, so it's just a little more than a pay phone call, so just do it for the Kai.  I prefer to trade with people in the US and Canada, sorry everyone else.

| | yes, music is the most necesary thing ever, except during when you are trying to talk, it gets distracting, so no i dont use it in my D&D games. | | | |

| I'll occassionally use a custom mix of songs I own, burned on to a new CD (legal) and on loop. Just mellow, background music, turned just loud enough to make ambience, but not distract or overpower.

| | I've got a great burned CD for horror games. It's a combination of creepy atmosphere music, some re-mixed Aliester Crowley stuff and dark ochestral music. | |

Can you actually count the PC Game Sountrack as an official soundtrack?
If so, you should probably toss in the IceWind Dale soundtrack which actually won an award. | |

| I may have to. I only have the PoR II soundtrack because they had the whole deluxe box for $20, and I took the adventure straight to Hastings for my $20 refund. It was awesome. free game, novel, dice and soundtrack.

| he Pool of Radiance II PC game had a deluxe edition, that came with dice, a dice bag, the RPG adventure, the computer game, the novel, and the soundtrack. I found one at EB games for $20 (clearance, naturally). Then I took the adventure out, and went to Hastings, where they returned it for $20, and kept all the other stuff.
Did the same with the City of Villains game, except I sold all the Heroclix on Ebay/locally.

| Arcanum really was a top notch title to be honest. I had so many hours of fun wandering around and exploring that world.
It was just a bit more steam-punk than I realized when I started in on it. | |

I loved it until I hit the upper level limit and then completely lost interest. It was fun up to that point. I think Arcanum was made by many of the same guys that made Fallout 1. One of my all time favorite games. | |
