The gnomish scribes have been delving deep into the Barrowmaze of late, and complied an ever increasing playlist to conjour the right atmosphere.
Hey, might be cool for standard dungeon-crawling too, but I've scoured my back catalogue of ambient goth and horror movie soundtracks to get the creepy undead, explory, steal some treasure, get into a fight with a zombie and run away thing going on, and a mixture of middle-east/western influences. And stuck some rocking tracks at the end, because they're funny in context.*
You'll need Spotify to listen to it, it's free (ad supported) and you'll need a Facebook account to log in (god why?) but has a tonne of music on there. Unfortunately Spotify is not available in Canadaland, so Greg hasn't yet endured had the pleasure of listening through it, so it's totally unofficial!
Greg has sent over some previews of Barrowmaze II, and it is looking really cool. I was really excited to see the monster section - and there are lots of really creative new and revised monsters, ranging from the bizzare to the terrifying. And of course some great new monster illustrations as well as some by me as well.
Greg is going to be GMing Barrowmaze I at Gencon (if they ever let him in) in a day or so? So I hope that goes really well.
There's previews and buy now of part 1 of the Barrowmaze Megadungeon at RPG Now.
*well I find the idea of Morrissey singing about Zombies funny.

The pastry has a bit of a salty taste, and I'm not a fan of salt, but
otherwise it has a decent flavour and a good, firm, texture. The filling is
beautiful...
The tracks are all available in the US :(
ReplyDeleteThat's a bit rubbish. Ah the vagaries of international music licensing.
ReplyDeleteanyone know how I import a playlist into the iPad app?
ReplyDeleteIf you search for Barrowmaze in Spotify, the playlist should show up there. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHi Zhu - thanks for sharing the playlist - I've been slowly going through and adding to my own D&D playlists and many of these fit the bill perfectly. I couldn't find anything whn searching for Barrowmaze - although possibly because your own account details have changed, and not all of the songs are available - strange how the embedding code still works though - anyway, I wanted to say thanks for another really useful resource.
ReplyDeleteYeah, old account. Still limks to the BM soundtrack here: Barrowmaze Soundtrack No idea why it doesn't show up as a playlist in Spotify any more.
DeleteStill like the way Hellraiser and Laurence of Arabia segue and share motifs.
Thanks - I was able to find it using the web app and the link above, but not through a normal search in the main app - weird.
DeleteAnd I hadn't noticed that particular segue, but will listen out for it now you mention it. I always like a mixture of classical and contemporary in my RPG playlists - the inclusion of some heavier industrial stuff is good too. I had not heard of lustmord before - my wife is going to hate it! :)
