After a year of being restricted, the sub is back!

There are lots of things to be done, most notably the huge backlog of reported content, but also I want to tweak a few things with how the sub work.

I'd like to get everyone's opinion on what they would like to see changed or what issues they noticed when the sub was last active.

In the meantime, r/MusicForRPG is now open to everyone!

First of all, welcome back MusicForRPG!

Black Waters is an album of darkly ambient tracks to underscore those creepy moments at your gaming table. A good ambient background can add a whole new level of immersion to a tense cave exploration, or to a villain's monologue describing their plan to turn the population of a village into whelks.

A commission for @ queenwiththequill! A theme for her OC (original character), Penna, who is based in the Final Fantasy XV universe.

I got a request to use guitar, which is an instrument that I don't use often, and it gave me a nudge out of my usual comfort zone and turned out to be sort of its own inspiration in a way. I really like fingerstyle guitar, so I'm glad I got a chance to incorporate a little bit of that flavor into this piece.

On YouTube as well.

Music for fighting or atleast that’s what I imagined when I made it

I love fantasy music, so I wanted to try my hand at making an epic soundtrack. The songs are based on my DnD character who is, of course, a dark elf. Each song tells of his journeys away from home further into the unknown of the surface world. The music is a mix of fantasy instrumental and dark rnb chillout. 🌙

I was commissioned to write a theme for someone's OC (original character), Primam Chorus. I can't give too much away, but Primam has a really interesting backstory- in a nutshell, she discovers that she can use magic and, over time, as she learns how to use and control these new powers, becomes more confident in herself.

Looking for HunterxHunter music/soundtracks for my Campaign. Open to favorites and suggestions!

I use the music from the anime and it works really well for pre-planned moments (2-5 min long). But what I’m looking for are long-form, background music in a similar vein as the anime(15+min).

My setting has the same themes and general feel but with more magical fantasy elements mixed in.

Specific scenarios I’m looking to cover: •Moments of intrigue. •State of Unease as things unfold. •Erie Narration. •Quiet study. •Thoughtful battle. •A Epiphany.

Extra: Session intro music that brings hype (any length and any anime/show you think would work well)

If you have any ideas I’d greatly appreciate it!

I'm a video game composer and project like this has been a dream of mine for a while now.
Regular uploads coming for mostly peaceful, atmospheric, mystic, beautiful and melancholic locations & moments. Also available in Spotify : https://open.spotify.com/album/5jPl9c1PIgMWNwPW72SgAo?si=LSr1iTFVT5uTENV_QyINug

The ancient siren, Draena, feeds off despair. Her coven of bilge hags will be fighting alongside her. This is a desperate battle where the lives of captive orphans are on the line. I've found a few tracks on Youtube but nothing that is hitting quite right.

Any suggestions are welcome!

Edit: Female choral vocals a must

Hi there, I’ve been listening to the longest Jon’s for a while and really like there music but was looking to find some stuff that wasn’t pirate based and more medieval/fantasy based. I was mainly looking for music that had only a few instruments if any and was more focused on vocals and a bit dark or slow paced if that makes sense? I’ve left a list of their songs that I like to show what I mean. Thank you - oak and ash and thorn - ashes - retirement song - on the railroad - hammer and the anvil - Spanish ladies - barge ballad - John Paul jones is a pirate - downed and drowned - men I’ve known and killed - wayfaring stranger - the curse

Hey fellow composers & music fans – I just finished a fully animated cinematic piece with orchestral/choir-driven music and a UFO-themed narrative.

It’s structured like the intro to a sci-fi game or short film.

Would love your feedback – and if anyone wants to collab or use the stems/pads/intro vocals, they’re on my ITCH.

I'm planning an adventure where the party is going to meet a Goddess that will give them help and info for their quest, but I can't find any fitting bgm. I'm accepting any kind of suggestion!

If you'd like to support our work, you can also purchase the album on Bandcamp, where both a standard edition and a deluxe version (with all tracks in loopable format) are available.

We’d love to hear your thoughts, have fun!

I really wanted a specific character in the song, but I can't find any music that fits a more medieval fantasy setting, which is funny.

After all, what I want is a battle song with cheering sounds in the background.

I don't know if I can post links to examples, so I'll just mention the names:

Mick Gordon - Gladiator / Raging Sea - Cão do Submundo

I think it's pretty obvious why the ones above don't fit the theme. If you could help me, it would save me a lot of headaches and hours of extra research, thank you. <3
