The Veiled Lady - Heliana's Guide collaboration N°2/11

Those who enjoy my "Underground Mushroom Forest" ambience will LOVE this collab!

This ambiences pack comes with a full scenario for D&D 5th edition.

It was made with Loot Tavern, and it is the second on eleven iterations of that long-lasting collaboration! For each collab, I'll compose at least one ambience (but more probably between 4 to 12 :)) Each collab features a boss fight and a full scen...

Hello everyone!

Today I'm sharing a huge collaboration I made with DMDave! The "Ophidian Monastery". The Guardian tier receives the FoundryVTT module!

Ophidians are dangerous, snake-like humanoids that dwell in the plane of elemental chaos. Despite the disorderly nature of the plane, the ophidians are highly regimented in discipline. All ophidians practice a unique form of martial arts...

Propose your ideas for ambiences packs!

Hello Patrons!

Many of the best ambiences ideas were proposed by members of the community, both on Patreon and on YouTube. Even though my to-do list is quite big, I would really enjoy hearing about your ideas! 

I can't promise to do all of them (and not everything is doable, especially if there are voices), but anything that sounds interesting and doable will be added to my to-do list, and with high to medium priority.

Feel free to propose variants of existing ambiences...

New song : "Face the Elemental" (3 versions)

Hello dungeon delvers and beholders!

Here's another song! I never shared as many songs as these days, and I must say it's something I really enjoy doing. Today, you get that song called "Face the Elemental", which is another song that fits both in the "Strong theme" and "combat" categories, as the melodies are well recognisable and fit for combat.

I made three versions :

  • Original
  • Looped
  • Subdued + Looped

The subdued version sounds less ep...

FoundryVTT News : Moulinette Cloud Integration !

Greetings patrons!

All our content is integrated into Moulinette. Creating stand-alone modules for each release would be a nightmare, both for you and for us. That's why we recommend this tool.

What is Moulinette ?

Moulinette is a cloud-based service for FVTT that lets content creators easily distribute their content to the GMs that support them. And it makes it easy for those GMs to see, search and use all of their content in one easy-to-navigat...

Ambiences : The Egg (Incubation Rooms)

Hello Patrons!

I told you the content would come late this month, but would come nonetheless! And here I am with a new package of original soundscapes. The name is funny, "the egg", I should have released that package on Easter (although I didn't have that idea yet).

All the places featured in this pack sound quite magical or fantasy. The incubating egg isn't supposed to be a mundane egg of a random creature, or at least it wasn't what I had in mind when I was working on it.

Big things are moving. I'll make a post about it in a few days, but the boring administrative work was quite overwhelming this month. I kinda wish this patreon was bigger so I could hire someone to do that job and free more time for me to actually do the creative job!

Anyway! Here I am with a new orchestral fantasy piece, inspired by a haunted place in my homebrew setting, cal...

"Outpost Sisyphus" Collaboration Part 2 (1 Adventure, 3 Ambiences)

Hello patrons!

Here's the second and the last part of the Outpost Sisyphus sci-fi horror scenario.

Outpost Sisyphus is structured in a cinematic style with three acts that escalate in terms of action, drama, and tension. The scenario is designed for 3-5 players plus a GM and takes at least 4-5 hours to complete or more, depending on how the players decide to approach the situations and tackle the problems presented.

Strange Landscapes (7 ambiences, 1 SFX)

Hello Patrons!

The first ambiences pack of the month is "Strange Landscapes". I was browsing through the list of desertic ambiences I made for this weekend's D&D session, when I realised I didn't have many alternatives ambiences for this setting. I decided to compose more options, and once it was done for the desert, I did the same for the Tundra and the Blizzard.

Naturally, they sound weird, alien. I'd recommend to use them to depict oniric landscapes or different planes of e...

Content of the month

This month is very busy on my side, with pretty big projects and the release of the new Modern ambience Vol.1 album (promotion, foundry module version, etc. this really takes days of work). That means, the content will arrive in the following days.

As usual, you don't have to worry. Many among you have been here for more than 6 months, and they know they always get what I promised, it's just unequally distributed withi...

New songS : "War Elephants" (1 song, 4 versions)

Hello Patrons!

Here's a new combat song in four different versions. All the .ogg files have been put in the usual .rar folder to respect the directory structure.

It's the first time I release a song in several versions, so I suppose the process still has to be refined. This post features the main song "War Elephants", as well as three variants :

Crystal Dungeon

Hello Patrons!

Two weeks ago, a client asked me to compose an ambience for the grand finale or his D&D campaign. He wanted a "crystal dungeon". He was extremely pleased by the result, and I decided to release it on YouTube (with his permission, as it was part of the contract). Since I really like the theme, I thought it would be great to compose several variants for you!

Usually, when the client agrees to share the piece with YouTube / Patreon, I make a discount and offer seve...

Hello Patrons!

I hope you are doing well! Just a short message to inform you of the month's releases schedule.

Most of the content will arrive within a 10-days span, as I have two collaborations that should be released (one on Thursday, one on next Tuesday). I also have (at least) one commission that will be shared with Patrons this month, or even two if the client is okay with it (still tbd).

With most (or all of) these releases, there will be some additional SFXs.

New song : "University of Magic Part 1"

Hello Patrons!

Here's a new piece of music for you ! It's the first part of the "University of Magic" piece I shared the other day.

The amount of work it required is simply mind boggling. I think I'm close to a hundred hours of work for that first part. It may not sound like it, but in terms of harmony, it's very complex, probably my most complicated track so far. I really liked the intro, and finding a second part that fits with it was the hardest. I think I deleted for about 5 m...

Ambiences : Crash Site (Sci-Fi Mainly) [Guardian+]

Hello !

This is the "Guardian+(Only)" content from that post.

You get two additional ambiences, the "Hunted" variations, which are the sounds of swamp/jungle exoplanets with "sci-fi" jets flying over, scanning the forest in search of the adventurers. I thought it would be interesting and unique for a scenario.

You also get 3 SFXs in two different versions (with and without bubbles). Why ? I though...
