Title: Adding music to RPs
Post by: Noname on October 23, 2009, 12:21:54 AM: I will be going adding some links to public domain and other acceptable music files for the RP games I have here. Note that none of it is a link for an illegal download; most of it is some form of classical music, or a sound file that was already released into the public domain. Since I cannot embed music, it has to be linked to in the RP. I'll make it fit as well as I can.

Here is a sample. For those of you familiar with the fantasy RP, imagine that this is under Asthia's tower, where Rhiga was being held, in that horrible chamber.

Note that none of the music is made by me. I make no copyright claims.

Hrm...I don't know what music would be suitiable for the "In the Land Before Time" rp. Sure, the LBT songs and music of course, but maybe everyone can have their own themes in the rp. :D

Post by: Noname on October 23, 2009, 01:19:20 AM: You know, since this site already links us to Land Before Time music, you can just use some of those links in your LBT RPs.

And thanks for saying so, Rat Lady. :)

Schroedinger's Prisoners: Half Life: Hazardous Environments (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUKcAo8AriM) by Valve

Card Of Ten Part 1: Moralis alt (http://www.royaltyfreemusic.com/sample_player.cgi?track_id=11731&album_id=619) by StudioCutz

Card of ten part 2:Intensity (http://www.royaltyfreemusic.com/sample_player.cgi?track_id=11730&album_id=619) by StudioCutz

Pavlov's Checkmate:Calling All Agents (http://www.audiosparx.com/sa/archive/Soundalikes/James-Bond-Soundalikes/Calling-All-Agents/313578) by Richard Banks

Nietzsche's Soldiers: Symphony No. 5 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5QWhL5SwUY&feature=related) by Carl Nielsen

Here's a great website to get royalty-free music, if you want to stick with Noname's policy of public domain music only:
http://www.royaltyfreemusic.com/styles/ (http://www.royaltyfreemusic.com/styles/)
Just hope you're okay with watermarks in the background. Me, I thought the female voice chanting the URL in the background added an extra layer to the songs' rhythm.

well maybe you can set up a thread and will discuss it as for the characters themes, if its the GOF member themes then its best to let the members decide that themselves here's my theme: Streets Of Siam by Stan Bush.

Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on October 23, 2009, 09:02:50 PM: I could set up a poll if everyone feels we need one.

I also agree that adding music would certainly add an element of 'uniqueness' to our RP's. :yes

Title: Adding music to RPs
Post by: JitteryDragon on October 23, 2009, 09:28:54 PM: We used to have music on a stereo back in my old tabletop days...

Someone would break out the Mozart, and for some reason... it actually worked rather well. But I still fondly remember Pachelbels Canon in D Major as the best for setting a solemn scene.

But then someone (not me) would sneak around and stick some death metal into the CD player. Hilarity (and fighting) ensues!

The poll would be to see how many of us here actually want to have an 'add music thread' to the RP discussions and depending on how well recieved it is we may or may not create a thread.
