"Tank!" didn't make my list because its a bit too recognizable, and a bit too modern (more 60s/70s jazz-ish in sound) for the post. In actual play, I might very well use it. "Rain" I just didn't think of at the time, but a few soundtrack pieces aside, I was concentrating on authentic "pulp era" pieces.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-61859270187340560992011-05-10T16:15:40.316-04:002011-05-10T16:15:40.316-04:00Arrrgggg.

Blogger has eaten not one, but TWO of the posts I've written to respond to this. <br /><br />First off: This was the current post when my reading finally caught up to your writing. Thank you for the mention! On a related note, I think you need an aware for most prolific RPG blogger, as I've not seen any single person write as much as you.<br /><br />Next point: I'm surprised that Tank! and Rain (Female Vocal Version) from the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack didn't make your list: Tank! struck me as a very good song to start off a fight or a mission in The City with ("It's time to get everybody and his stuff together, 3,2,1, let's go!")<br />Rain.... It strikes me that at any given moment there are probably at least 100 events tragic and romantic enough to have Rain as the background happening in the City. <br />Which got me thinking: I could see the whole of Spike's plotline being transposed to The City: am I the only one?<br /><br />Now, this better POST this time!<br />--CanageekCanageekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770924810559440307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-9149456337068047142011-05-09T08:16:40.076-04:002011-05-09T08:16:40.076-04:00You're welcome.

I always try to create a soundtrack for my campaign settings, and I love to listen to it while I create adventures.
