Thanks for the tag @onlyoneofsideblogtrashheep

Rules: Shuffle your ‘on repeat’ playlist and post the first 10 tracks &  List 10 songs you really like, each by a different artist, and then tag 10 people to do the same.

10 from my “on repeat” playlist

1. Dope - BTS

2. Intro - j-hope

3. Attack on Bangtan - BTS

4. Strawberry Cake - Xdinary Heroes

5. Angry - Pavari

6. CHILL - Stray Kids

Trying to think of 10 different songs/artists was so difficult. I have been listening to the Maxident album by Stray Kids for the last like 2 months straight, and for the last two weeks it’s been nothing but Xdinary Heroes discography.

Also. I’m not tagging anyone. I don’t know 10 people and I’m nervous tagging people so. Play along if you’d like.

#tag game #about the weirdo who runs this blog #I’m not even joking when it comes to maxident. I listened to the album for 10 hours straight once. that’s about 20 times through. #I have a terrible habit of turning songs on repeat for hours. or an artist on repeat for hours. hence why there’s not a lot of diversity… #with my on repeat playlist. #I’m currently extremely obsessed with xdinary Heroes so if anyone wants to talk about them feel free. #I am currently in the processes of consuming all of their media from interviews to YouTube videos. #luckily it’s only a year of stuff to catch up on. #also. y’all should check out dopamine especially if you like palaye royale. dopamine just dropped their first album/ep. ITS AMAZING.

RWBY GM Ramblings Part 1: Soundscaping

So for the last few months I've been GM'ing a RWBY Tabletop Adventure, and it's been quite a wild ride. I'm gonna start posting my "previously on RWBY Tabletop..." recaps and some random GM thoughts I've been having, just because I actually need to get back in the habit of posting stuff I write, because if I post it, I'll actually put in effort and get better at it, and I'll be able to look back at it for future reference, yadda yadda, etc. In the meantime, you're stuck with my latest experimentation: Finding believable soundscapes, and (most importantly) actually remembering to use them! So far, my relation with soundscapes has been rocky at best. For example, my original idea of combat music was originally just putting an instrumental version of "Caffeine" from the RWBY Soundtrack on repeat for the duration. For those of you who know, please forgive me, it was my first GM session ever. For those of you who don't, let me tell you why that's a TERRIBLE idea. First off, it's a three minute song. Second off, combats can last, like, multiple hours. After hearing the same song thirty times in one combat, no matter how badass the song is (and trust me, Caffeine is THAT badass), it gets on everyone's nerves. Not only that, but Caffeine isn't MADE for Tabletop gaming. This is the essence of what I'm really just starting to wrap my head around now. Good tabletop soundscapes can't just be any music; most music produced today has hooks, attention grabbers. It wants you to pay attention to it. But in a tabletop game, you don't want your players to be paying attention to your music choice; yoi want them to be focusing on their character and the world we've created around them, not the music itself. Tabletop audio needs to be supplementive, it needs to work on a subconcious level to help settle the characters into their surroundings. Caffeine doesn't fit that at all. Not only that, but when I first started out playing with soundscapes (Disclaimer, I'm doing all of this via Roll20.net's Jukebox now), I'd have a relatively good one picked out for the first area... And then the party would move on, and I'd totally forget to update it, and usually just turn it off and forget about soundscapes for rest of the game. I've had eight sessions now, and I'm still struggling to remember to add in my now slightly better tham before soundscapes when we change areas. Actually, I just realized I can write GM Notes on each map, and I'm totally gonna write myself remimders to do that! Huzzah, I had a productive thought just now! So, how am I gonna do better this next session? A combo of three things: Getting better at picking out music from Roll20's Jukebox, picking out music specifically made for Tabletop gaming from independent artists (Kevin Macleod of Incompetech.com, and Jeremiah George and his incredible orchestral RWBY battle remixes on Youtube, seriously, check him out right now: https://youtu.be/UAAGe0OogjI), and straight up stealing some of the stuff Matt Mercer uses for Critical Role. That dude is a better GM than I will ever be, so copying ideas from him while I'm still a newb is an A+ strategy. Also, I found an INCREDIBLE app called Syrinscape (syrinscape.com) which uses computer generation to create realistic and intuitive soundscapes based off of moods and essences. I cannot explain it to it's full glory, and I've only just now started playing with it myself, but I'm really looking forward to spending more time with it moving forward. Anyways, these have been my random ramblings and the first of what I hope to be many posts detailing my journey as a GM. I've also got a lot of thoughts on the "On the rails vs. Flying by the seat of your pants" spectrum (basically how linear vs. open world the campaign is) and finding that sweet spot between combat and world building (hint: all combat all the time is a bad idea, mmmkay). And a lot of this might be super basic, but I've played like two sessions of DND in my whole life, and I'm suddenly GM'ing for six people. There's a learning curve, and these posts will be my attempt at staying on top of it. Anyways, you made it this far through this wild audio adventure, so you know what? Here's a cookie for you: (::) And, shhhh, don't tell anyone, but you're my favorite. Yeah, really. Thanks for reading (and sorry again, I've already gotten China's call, they'll have their wall back soon enough)!
