The Bards Workshop *Collaboration*

The storefront of a master instrument-collector ... with a bonus audio collection!

This musical map and its bonus melodies were created as another collaboration between Vladir Winters, myself, and Justin Jet Zorbas from RPG Audio Vault!

This collab is particularly cool: not only is this a fully-fledged map pack, but Justin has created a whole collection of bardic melodies to accompany it!

RPG Audio Vault is an ever-growing library of my best music, ambience and sound effects, all designed to bring ultimate immersion to your fantasy RPG worlds! ... I'm a composer, sound designer, and field recordist with a passion for RPGs and all things fantasy. I take my field recorder on all my trips to capture unique and amazing sounds and ambiences that I can use to bring fantasy worlds to life.
– Justin

What instruments are covered? Here is a list:

• Bagpipes, Drum, Dulcimer, Flute, Horn, Lute, Lyre, Pan Flute, Shawm, and Viol

• Didgeridoo, Duduk, Erhu, Gemshorn, Hang Drum, Hurdy Gurdy, Kalimba, Shamisen, Trossingen Lyre, and Udu

Meanwhile, our interior map is centered on an 11x15 canvas. Inside, one finds a store cramped with musical instruments from across the globe. Oh, and a very lazy calico cat and her cat tree by the front window! Calico cat assets also included. ;)

Do you know of a bard who plays one of these instruments? We hope you'll add these tracks to your repertoire! And how might you run this store at your table? Hopefully in no way that disturbs the cat...
