Dungeons & Dragons and the Power of Music
Playing music during D&D isn't everyone's cup of ale, but I find it to be a useful and powerful tool for Dungeon Masters to use. Music carries emotion well, and helps enhance the role-playing experience when the appropriate music is played.
New Album Released
I've been making music inspired by Dungeons & Dragons for some time now and never really thought much about it. Someone in the group would make a character, and I would compose a personalized theme for the DM to play when the player did something awesome. Now, I've collected, remastered, and released some of them onto and album so I can share it with all you beautiful people! Give it a listen, and consider purchasing it if you like it.
Follow me here on Newgrounds, Bandcamp, or Spotify for more music like this! Next I plan to make albums for specific themes like travelling, combat, etc.
Have a memorable D&D story you want to share? Leave it in the comments below. It can be funny, epic, anything. I'd like to hear from you. Who knows, maybe your character or story will inspire a new song!

Me, the DM: Their base is on a floating island high up in the sky.
Players: Are there dragons in this world?
DM: Uh... yeah. Sure. Why?
Players: Do we know where they live?
DM: Yeah, you've heard legends of dragons. Everyone has. They live on the top of... uh... dragon mountain?
Players: We go to dragon mountain!
DM: What? Why? Your quest is to defeat the bad guys on the floating island!
Players: Yep! And we're going to fly on the backs of dragons to get there!
A few hours, skill challenges, and charisma checks later...
Yep, you guessed it, they rallied a group of dragons to aid them in their mission. They flew on dragons to the flying fortress, annihilated the bad guys, and forged everlasting bonds with their new friends
