Music for D&D
by Mike on 28 March 2022
In chapter 13 of Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master I include a list of great background music for D&D. Here are a few other albums I love, both for playing D&D and for listening to while preparing my games or writing about D&D.
- Annihilation Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
- Art and Soul of Dune
- Assassin's Creed Odyssey Soundtrack
- Assassin's Creed Origins Soundtrack
- Assassin's Creed Valhalla (there are like six of these, they're all great)
- Color Out of Space Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
- Darksiders 2 Soundtrack
- Dune Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
- Dune Sketchbook
- Far Cry Primal Soundtrack
- Horizon Forbidden West Soundtrack
- Horizon Zero Dawn (and expansions) Soundtrack
- Mandy Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
- Prince of Darkness Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
- Witcher 3 Blood and Wine Soundtrack
Some websites offer fantastic music selections too. I'm a huge fan of Tabletop Audio for great ambient music.
What are some of your favorite albums to enjoy while you lose yourself in your world?
