  • #267 Pre-GenCon Panel - Soundtrack of Horror

    Our guests, Nox, Peercy, and Will Uhl talk with Crystal about how music can create a backdrop of tension and act as a storyteller. Building the perfect soundscape can help immerse players into your game quickly, creating tension and even providing a break after intense scenes. So, how do you put together a soundtrack? What are your favorite songs to add to your lists? Where do you find your music?
