Your GM sends you an email earlier this week before the next game. It reads "I'm implementing a new houserule for the game. Send me your character's theme song, preferably an instrumental version. I'm going to play it when your character scores a critical hit in combat."
What is your character and what theme song do you choose for them?
>>54228776
I choose "no."
>>54228909
>I don't want to have fun.
Ok, you don't have to come.
>>54228925
Believe me, I was very aware of my lack of obligation to do so when I decided not to.

Let me get this out of the way for you all: The premise of "What's your Character's theme song" is a fine and novel idea for a thread. Good idea, glad you posted.
HOWEVER the concept of playing the song EVERY time you roll a crit is inherently stupid, because in combat the usual complaints are based around keeping the game going smoothly. Stopping in the middle of combat to play a 3 minute song(6 and a half if you have good taste), bringing combat to a complete halt to celebrate a minor victory, is not only disruptive and annoying, it's absolutely Shit for immersion.
Also, I would unironically and without reference to JoJo choose Shine On You Crazy Diamond for my current character, which is a 27 minute Rock Opera.

Pink Floyd or Les Claypool?
>>54229144
Would you still use this song if every time it was played in game, the guardsmrn hunting you for your rule breaking ways crashed into the scene?

I reply with a 30-minute epic attached, and send an E-mail to the other members of the group, encouraging them to do the same. After the first session, the houserule is abolished.
If you're gonna do it for every crit, just play a riff or something.

Better idea: Go full Bravely Default and invoking the theme song provides a set of buffs specific to each character so long as the theme song is still playing in real time. Obvious impose a limit on song length so no one tries to sneak in a 10h loop of something. Then watch as the party scrambles to cut ooc chatter to squeeze a few extra rounds of attacks in before the song ends.
Call it cliche, but:

Since this game is clearly gay, Im going re-purpose it as an opportunity to find some people with good musical taste.

He's essentially Ringabel as an old half-elf Bard/Red Mage anyway. Maybe a bit more narcissistic and flamboyant.

For a game that I can only describe as Mad Max meets 80's Magic the Gathering meets Vornheim, I gotta go with this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLOtl3nLR7Q
My narcissistic, fatalistic Aetherborn Warlock of a rampant, scheming, reality warping AI deserves nothing less than pure, unadulterated JUSTICE.

The people who hang out with you don't have a lot of other options, do they?
My group did something like this for a One Piece campaign we did. Each character had a normal theme for when you were the spotlight of RP, and a battle theme.
I was a pistol shrimp fishman with a cowboy theme.
