Makes for great tavern ambiance. Used it several times for sessions with my group.

I love playing music for my players. It's a very intrinsic part of my DMing style. Here are a few of my select favorites.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lO88bYF2k18

I've used this battle theme for many encounters since discovering it. Great for do-or-die duels with cut throat rogues and menacing thugs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p40-NA2ji1o

Another great theme to play while setting the stage for a combat encounter and rolling initiative. Usually just long enough before going into the actual fight.

Yet another classic. Any kind of magic item shop or apothecary can easily have this in the BG while you flavor the shit out of it and it's store keeper. Also good any kind of mystic NPC you introduce.

My campaigns often have scenes or adventures that take place in forlorn wilderness. Ancient battlefields, highland bogs, or moor country. This music fits great. But because of the orchestral swell at the end, I usually use the begining for description, then when the end begins, I weave in an omen the PC's experience.

Finally, I use this great piece by Jeremy Soule for any kind of simple but run down dugout, hovel, village, etc. Any place filled with toiling peasants, eking out an existence in a fantasy world. This is great BG music when mixed with other NWN and D2 town music.

The usual...

Dead Can Dance:

Nierika -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AAkq2Vm5wQ
The Arrival and the Reunion -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOauyq9Upxo
Yulunga -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJqUbb-WuPQ&feature=youtu.be&t=2m31s

Tuatara:
>Haunting. Jazzier than Dead Can Dance, but with similar applications. Recommended albums: Breaking the Ethers, Cinemathique (Trading with the Enemy is pretty good too).
Dark State of Mind -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfHV-KhjaJ0
The Melting Sun – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nYP1LZRpZQ
The Streets of New Delhi – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekpS4SfuBxE

The Conan the Barbarian Soundtrack:

Riders of Doom -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onGWF8mz1Zw&feature=youtu.be&t=1m36s
The Orgy -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOUs6er51bI
Anvil of Crom -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9j6nyEcIk98

Ian Anderson's album, Divinities:12 Dances with God:
>Light orchestral music: sometimes whimsical, sometimes soaring, but usually fairly minimalist. Good for exotic foreign ports and travel when danger isn't menacing.
In the Pay of Spain -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHJEe4oqc1M
In Sight of the Minaret -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK6ue0vD4gI
In The Moneylender's Temple -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQjkSbTKBv4

Chris Poland's album, Return to Metalopolis--
>Instrumental thrash moving towards jazz; a bit Satriani-esque. Haunting and wistful but nevertheless energetic. Good for riding into the lost ruins of Kyzanaek trailed by saber-wielding ghouls.
Alexandria -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIHY0xAR4jo
Apparition Station -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXY_fRDF2pc

Orcs. A pig child was scrounging though my trash the other day looking for something to eat. I barely missed it with an arrow. Now my neighbors won't stop giggling every time I walk by.

A GR round going past at mach 2+ will shatter eardrums, stun, send people flying, etc. Even a medium laser will blind and flash-burn a bunch of dudes. PPC bolts will arc a shit ton of electricity over a wide area, with additional heat effects. A/C shells are still putting out a crazy amount of concussive power. Etc etc.

Weapons don't need to be able to kill infantry to prevent them taking further part in proceedings. Marking them off just means those troopers can't fight, not that they're dead dead. Just incapacitated, and potentially able to be healed for later games.

A GR round might only paste one or two dudes. But everyone else within 30 metres of the impact point, or just its path of travel, is going to be knocked flying from the (trans?-)sonic effects and have their eardrums shattered. A large number will go into shock just from the pain, some might break bones when knocked down, and very few will be ready to fight on.

That's assuming you need elves and dragons and shit and not any of the billion equally-fantastical urban fantasy/horror games like the worlds of darkness or dresden files.

I need a symbol thats a super simplification of a wolf. The faction im trying to create is all about the 'order' as a cohesive, almost family unit.

What do you want though? You could just make one out of triangles, or out of blobs like Destiny. Or google Abstract Wolf Symbol.

Escape Artist's Bracelet.
A small bracelet that supposedly imbues the wearer with greater slipperiness and escaping ability.

The bracelet escape's the wearer's limbs when worn.

It is made out of stone and anything it directly touches turns into stone as well.

No rules for miniature combat, but you can just use this with miniatures, a grid map, and LoS rules.

As a bonus, you get a lot of free transformation and bad-end magical realm at no extra cost

1. There are two general ways to go about roleplaying, also described in the players handbook (atleast in 5th edition). The best way for newcomers is to describe what your character is doing and saying. "I ask the bartender for information regarding the disappearance of the minstrel" is a simple way to do it, and gives the DM clear signs of your intention. However, you can try to make it a bit more flavourful by going "I raise a coin in the air in order to get the barkeeps attention. As he approaches I casually inquire as to why the inn is lacking a minstrel". Finally, you can speak the sentences your character says IRL at the table, and the DM replies as the barkeep. You'll find that if your fellow players are also keen on roleplaying, you'lll inspire each other.

2. What edition are playing?

>>50880209
Relax. The first thing to do, and your DM will probably do this with the bunch of you, is to determine expectations from the people involved.
There is no set answer for "how to roleplay", it depends entirely on the expectations and mood of the room.
If you guys are all noobs, it probably won't be Ibsen, and no one will be expecting you to do voices or necessarily speak "in character" at all times.
The main thing is that people are having fun, and to collaborate on having fun, without getting in each others way.
Some good general guidelines for roleplay is;
>Don't say "I roll to attack" or "I would like to roll to intimidate the bandit" - instead describe what your character is doing, and let the GM ask for the rolls he would like you to make.
>Try to communicate your characters body-language a little. This is usually less awkward for people than literally speaking "in-character", and it is a good entry-level way to start getting into character.
>Think about your character, and what they would do, given their personality. Learn to separate what YOU KNOW from what YOUR CHARACTER KNOWS. Don't try to game the system too hard.

>>50880209
Roleplaying is just like improvised acting.

Being the gallows-humor rogue who keeps things lowkey for the most part with the occasional instakill backstab, timely pickpocketing or lockpicking or trapbusting sounds like it could be your style. I really like rogues for 'asshole who always got your back.'
