I've been working on a bunch of homebrew mechanics for fifth edition Dungeons and Dragons, and this is the first little batch that I'm publishing. This short document includes new playable options for the paladin, the rogue, and the sorcerer:
I love tritons. I love sea elves. I love tortles and pirates and seafaring adventures. I also love the music from the Zora domain in just about every Zelda game. In that vein, this alternate version of "With Garners Full of Grain" is some quintessential chill island scoring.
In one of...
2020-01-17 01:01:11 +0000 UTC View PostAlbum #1 is done and released into the world. I have to admit that's a big relief for me! Hopefully this will greatly help your ability to play Music d20 tracks wherever you are without having to worry about compiling your mp3s. With that said... here's a new mp3!
This track is perfect for ...

The people have spoken! You said you wanted my music available elsewhere, so here it is. You can now buy the first batch of standard tracks on Bandcamp, or find it on YouTube,
This variant of "Those Who Writhe Below" has a more conventional instrumentation that's perfect for either more conventional villains (a feudal lord, a wicked wizard, or dark priest) or for calmer moments related to these villains (exploring their lair, or studying their backstory in rel...
2020-01-06 23:03:01 +0000 UTC View PostI love mysterious villains that largely work in the shadows. Yes, it's fun to just be pissed off at a big orc who keeps ruining your day, but sometimes a more insidious evil lurks below: cults of cosmic horrors, or secretive puppet masters weaving intrigue in plain sight. This music is great for ...
2020-01-06 22:59:31 +0000 UTC View PostHey patrons!
As a special gift over the holiday season, I joined up with 20 battlemap makers, 2 miniature makers, 1 magic item creator, 1 monster maker, 1 adventure writer, and another composer to bring you a giant, terrifying, full formed Tarrasque for you party to take on! Here's what you...
2019-12-26 16:48:28 +0000 UTC View PostThere are a million different ways to portray the Feywild or other primordial elven "domains." Some versions are dangerous, tricky, and untamed. Others are pristine, elegant, and regal. One thing these portrayals often have in common is a sort of shimmery, illusory, magical property. That's the e...
2019-12-17 21:58:07 +0000 UTC View PostHey all! I've got some great music coming at you in the next few weeks, but I'm timing them to coincide with some collaborations. You'll be getting some nice freebies as part of the deal, and I'm really excited for you to see and hear everything.
Right now, I'm looking for a bit of fe...
2019-12-11 22:25:35 +0000 UTC View PostI heard a lot of great feedback regarding "Behold The Ancient Meadow" when I released it last month. I decided it was worth revisiting, with a much sparser arrangement. This solo piano version is useful for calmer moments in your campaign, or just instances of reflection.
Maybe the pa...
2019-12-11 21:55:17 +0000 UTC View PostBefore every great campaign stumble, there's a moment when a party has to decide whether to enact their foolish plans. Your thief is browsing pockets in the bazaar or your chaotic sorcerer is peering longingly into the magic shop, Fireball at the ready.
Set the stage! Establish the st...
2019-12-04 20:27:52 +0000 UTC View PostHow many times has this happened to you: Your players are in a tavern trying to gather information for an investigation. The party's murder hobo then decides to start a brawl because they lost a bet. All of a sudden, you (the DM) realize that these actions must have consequences. Cue "No Laughing...
2019-12-04 20:23:37 +0000 UTC View PostI've been meaning to make a combat track that's 90% percussion for a while now. I often start that way before eventually chickening out and adding strings, bass, and all the rest. Well this time I mostly did it! This is WAR music. Angry toms. Furious tambourines. Chaotic evil snares. &nb...
2019-11-19 15:34:14 +0000 UTC View PostI told y'all in a previous post that I recently got some new string libraries. Well, they sound really good and I'm moderately obsessed with them, so here's some more! I did a new version of the dungeon music I posted last night with just a string orchestra. I'm pretty impressed with how many dif...
2019-11-12 18:42:38 +0000 UTC View PostIt seem like lots of campaigns these days focus less and less on the actual dungeon delving portion of tabletop games, but I still love me some old-fashioned trap-filled murder tombs. This track will help score those tense moments of puzzle solving, sneaking, and plundering as you plumb ...
2019-11-12 02:39:51 +0000 UTC View PostYesterday I posted a couple tracks, one of which I'd been sitting on for a while. After finally getting some nice new string samples (yes, believe it or not, I don't have access to a full orchestra), I was ready to record this combat version of "Autumn On The Ramparts." I probably veer a...
2019-11-06 21:39:12 +0000 UTC View PostI've got two new tracks for you all. A couple more highly requested themes!
This week's track (Sailing With The Splintered) is perfect for high seas adventures, but what about when you're just chilling with some pirates while the party's bard is trying to score free drinks? This variant track is perfect for those low stakes, high flavor moments of your campaign. Ex...
2019-10-23 17:48:44 +0000 UTC View PostIn my seafaring campaign, The Splintered is either a reckless squad of thieves and criminals, or a ragtag group of freedom fighters, depending on whom you ask. This track should hopefully capture both sides of that dichotomy! This rousing adventure music can score high seas combat, exciting...
2019-10-23 17:40:34 +0000 UTC View PostOne of my wonderful patrons (@sovest555) requested music for a "Prestigious Magic Academy" on the Music d20 Discord. I'm currently prepping a magic school for one of my homebrew campaigns, so I was more than happy to oblige. This track has more than a few Harry Potter vibes about it, but hopefull...
2019-10-13 15:31:39 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a few weeks of contemplating how I could reconfigure Pious Vengeance with less insane intensity, I finally decided to create a string quartet version, with some extra bells to maintain the "pissed-off cleric" vibe I had in the original. This track was made for the fabulous map creator 2019-10-13 15:16:07 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey patrons! I'm super pleased with how these new tracks turned out, and I think they'll help you score a wide range of player scenarios.
Here are two new variants for my $5 and up tiers!
Here's a combat track from the first batch of music I released! If you're on the fence about becoming a patron, give this one a listen, and feel free to download via the link at the bottom.
It's one of my favorites for all sorts of high intensity scenarios. Ideal for exciting battles:...
2019-09-27 15:49:15 +0000 UTC View PostThis first set of variant tracks will help you score even more scenarios in your campaign.
The first pack of tracks! This diverse set of 10 fantasy tunes should get your campaign off to a perfect start: lively market song "The Liquid Truth," thrilling combat track "Duel Compulsion," and pensive campfire tune "Last Respite." You can smite the undead to "Pious Vengeance," or take y...
