"Deep in the heart of the forest lies a peaceful grove, untouched by the chaos of the outside world. Here, the sunlight filters through the leaves and dances across the mossy ground. You can hear the gentle rustling of the leaves and the distant babbling of a nearby brook. It's a place where you can breathe deeply and feel at ease, surrounded by the beauty of nature."

"You enter the chamber of the Elder Brain, a massive and sentient entity that has existed for eons beyond your comprehension. Its form is undulating and organic, and its thoughts and desires pulse through the air as strange and alien melodies. The very atmosphere around it seems to bend and warp in its presence."

Hey folks,
Happy to share an updated version of the Foundry VTT module, with 9 new tracks + 16 (I think?) alternate versions, and of course looping versions of all of those.
The free version has also been updated with just the 9 main tracks.
Enjoy!
Ian.

"At the threshold of the unknown, the rules of reality blur and surrender to the inexplicable. The air hums with strange, undecipherable energies, their pulsing sounds drawing you closer to the void, a place beyond the grasp of time and space."
Hello folks!
First, a quick message for those at the Foundry module tier. I'll be updating it with all the new tracks within the next few days! I'll post on here about it when I do.
And speaking of new tracks...

"You sit around the campfire, the ashes of your fallen companion still smouldering nearby. The night is quiet, save for the gentle rustling of leaves in the wind and the distant call of an owl. You can't help but feel a deep sense of loss and grief, as memories of your friend flood back to you. The melody of your sorrow lingers in the air, a haunting reminder of the love and camaraderie you shared."

Hey folks,
I always like to have a background project to work on besides just writing the music. For a while it was the patreon exclusive Foundry module (which I’ll update with the latest tracks soon). Then it was tabletoprpgmusic.com to help you search through the track library. But now I’m at a bit of a loose end with figuring out what to work on next?
A few ideas floating around my head include:
- Working on some larger collabs with fellow creators
- Adding S...

Hi folks,
Wizards of the Coast (the Hasbro-owned company who make D&D) recently announced changes to their Open Gaming License. Previously, this license was a big part of what allowed 3rd party content to flourish. Because of its open nature, we got new VTTs, amazing 3rd party monsters, adventures, classes, spin off systems, and more. It’s part of what has made d&d 5e so popular.
Unfortunately, capitalism has a way of ruining things. There is a new OGL on the horizon, on...

Like the city itself is trying to drown out something deeper, something darker lurking just beneath the surface."

As you approaches the ancient temple, a feeling of unease washes over you. The air is thick with the sound of whispers, as if a choir of unseen spirits is trying to communicate something important. The stone walls of the temple are adorned with strange, eldritch symbols that seem to pulse with a dark, otherworldly energy. As you step inside, the whispers grow louder and more insistent, rising to a crescendo of atonal sound. You feel a sense of danger lurking just beyond the edge of percep...

This year has been an incredible year for me. I turned 30, got married, made some big steps in dealing with my anxiety issues, and managed to make this little niche of a patreon into a full time job!
But it wasn’t really me that did that last one, that was down to all of you. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you all for supporting me, whether that’s financially via the patreon or music ...
