Playlists for Writing & Roleplay

scrptrx:

Listen on Spotify or Spotify Web Player

     Music to write, roleplay, or study to! These playlists are works in progress and are continuously growing and improving. Titled after like-themed action movie and game music, the playlists each have their own personality, and encourage different moods or activity levels. Most music is from soundtracks. The calmest playlists, Temple Ruins and Party Camp, are useful for getting into the mood. This music is less distracting. Once your pace is set, or if you want to get in the mood for an action scene, Underworld or Boss Fight are the playlists for you. Tavern Nights is what it sounds like, full of highs and lows but can be distracting. Field Music is right in the middle, with lots of color.

     All playlists are available to follow on Spotify, and can also be accessed via the web player with a free Spotify account. Just click on the [listen] for the link. Please do not hesitate to suggest music/changes to me, either here or on Spotify.


Update – 28 July 2016

Thank you to those who have liked, reblogged and shared this post, as well as those who follow me and the playlists on Spotify. I figured someone would find these useful, but I never thought the post would reach 23k+ notes and the playlists about 1,000 followers each (aside from the newer Underworld playlist). I’m thrilled so many of you are finding the playlists useful for roleplaying, writing, etc.
