| 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.

| 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.

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. | |

| 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. | |
