>player asks you to play his character's theme song if

Going onto a random website and asking people for advice on a problem with a obvious solution.

Just tell the player you don't like it.

Making threads just so you have excuses to post your OC (again).

Do it anyway. Play fucking Limp Bizkit like he's a god damn professional wrestler if that's what he wants, and if everything works out it will at least be funny

I don't know but I asked my recent playgroup for their themesongs and they all gave me some generic pop rock about teen girl spirit or Scott Pilgrim

They're all great players but wew, just wew.

I just 'forget' to ever play it myself and they've never asked, so everything worked out great for me.

Whew lad. Don't you recognize Ribbon?
She in our banner.

Sorry to hear that. My groups have always had good theme songs.

Yes?

The artist who created Ribbon makes pointless threads every day just to have excuses to post their art. This is not new information.

>>52293885
>if two people post ribbon they are the same person.

>>52293885
Whatever man I post Ribbon all the time and I can't draw for shit. You sound paranoid.

>>52293885
Are you retarded?

>>52293619
This is the correct answer.

>>52293885
> This is not new information.
That's news to me. I have a few Ribbon reaction pics in my /tg/ folder, and I didn't realize I would be triggering anyone by using them in the OP.

What if it's the bongo solo version?

I let my players choose a song to play when their character dies. Bear in the big blue house has never been so upsetting.

Unless the players coordinate and pick pieces of music that actually work together, it's not happening at my table.

>>52293885
Honestly don't care. Character is cute and sometimes her art is good as reaction images or is funny.
Seen much worse, much worse things to be bothered by this.

If some drawfag wants to draw /tg/ related shit, all the better in my books.

I'd allow it.

I mean it's not like it's a bad song/theme. It would just be bad if every lvl 3 dude with a longsword they describe as a katana wanted it playing every time they rolled to hit...

If there character is ACTUALLY badass enough to justify it, then sure.

Although I'd insist on a version where the actual "SEPHIROTH" chants aren't a thing.

I don't think my group has ever done character theme music except in the jojo campaign that gets ran sometimes where there it actually feels pretty cool.

We do usually however have campaign music. Like an intro and outro. One of our newer players has taken to providing background effects or quiet music sometimes

>>52293619
Yep.

>>52294439
The best part is that that solo went for a minute and a half longer than was originally planned, and at 6:12 you can see the conductor give him a "You motherfucker," look.

Something that's overused

The only time I had a "theme song" was as a joke.

I played a paladin.

Sound of Da Police.

It went exactly as you would imagine.

Yes. Precisely.

If your character's theme song is from an anime, you have no place at my table.

Paid off some bards to play:

The look on the GM's face as my character entered the field (the characters name was Cohn Jena, he didn't get it until then).

That's why I specifically state that if they want a theme song, it has to be "appropriate to the tone of the game".

As something that could at least pass for something that vaguely fantasy RPG score, and isn't too distracting. Something that uses period appropriate instrumentals, or at the bare minimum is orchestral. No pop music, no electric guitars, etc. etc. Force them to be creative with their song choice.

For example, I had one player ask for theme song and hit me with this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XO0gs0Pz2JI

Despite my anime bias, I dug it and thought it was over the top in a good way. (Considering his character was a grapple build "wrestler".)

That's actually so bad it's good.

>>52297162
Except for the part where it's overplayed to the point of parody, and associated with weaboo belts & leather "psh nothing personnel kid" characters.

I would be physically incapable of not snickering if someone used it.
But then again, you're probably a lot younger than me if you still think it's cool.
