Tangential question: are pig-in-a-poke links (ie: f'ing Youtube, shorturl, etc) bad netiquette?
I don't understand your question.
I think he wants you to embed the videos instead of just linking blindly.
Ah.
I thought it was more fun this way.
That would be a lot of embedded videos!
In high school, our usual D&D music was The Cars' Greatest Hits, because my best friend, whose house everyone played at, played that tape *all the time*. Other popular choices of the day:
-The soundtrack to Excalibur or Conan the Barbarian
- "Hells' Bells" by AC/DC
- "By-Tor and the Snow Dog" by Rush
Google alerts has turned James Raggi into a Demon Prince--type "Death Frost Doom" and he will appear.
Those song titles are epic.
Wait, wait, I've got one...
Hey that shady guy over in the corner looks like he might have some info, lets go talk to him
You just made me start listening to Monster Magnet again after a maybe 8 year hiatus!
Don't listen to Chris, it is more fun this way.
Not my intent to cause a stink, sorry if I did. I think I've just been Rickrolled too often to trust anything that just says *.youtube.* anymore. ;)
On the bright side: Screaming for Vengeance and the humble Flail Snail are now irrevocably linked in my mind.
Getting all Arduin. Yes please, but using Bolt Thrower and Summon.
How did I know that "Now The Viking Warship Is On Fire And There's People With Axes Trying To Board It" was going to be Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song?"
I collect movie scores, and I've used quite a few tracks from them as background music for gaming, especially when I was running the Dragonlance Chronicles campaign. I think my favorite was using the main theme from Crimson Tide as Ember's cue (for those unfamiliar with Dragonlance, Ember was the Huge Ancient Red Dragon partner of the Dragon Highlord Verminaard, the party's nemesis through the first four modules in the campaign). The third time in the campaign I hit "play" and that came on, there was a general chorus of "Oh, shit!" They were on top of the Floating Tomb of Derkin, with nowhere to flee from the dragon....
My group always started singing the Rolling Stones song "Shattered" when they fought skeletons.
For some good high weirdshit-o-meter noir style mood music, you cannot do better than 'God Speed You Black Emperor'. One of my favorite tracks (and by now probably a horror film classic) is 'East Hastings'.
Just listening to it again conjurers up scenes of something horribly inevitable. An unrelenting horror or a climactic battle for the souls of countless millions.

I can also point you to the sound the walls might make in your Gigadungeon, if an earth tremor set them thrumming. This is quite literally a guy called Stephan Micus playing huge specially constructed stone sculptures in a German Cathedral.

Finally, I don't do much music at the table, but I remember my 3.5 "Sharn City of Towers" came with a pretty cool movie style soundtrack CD.

This video is coming up as having been removed for copyright. What song was this?
"fixin to Die"" Bob Dylan
Glad to see someone else listens to Amebix when they play. Monolith is perfect RPG music.
Amebix clone band Acrostix split LP w/Contrast Attitude is PERFECT music to play. I'll send emps if you want. The song "Eternal Winter" is the jam for D&D.
