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.
Updated: 3/19/17 – New playlist “Into Battle” features a highly dynamic range between “Field Music” and “Boss Fight” and moods for rallying the troops and preparing for war. In addition, the older playlists have been added to.
Curator Note: Thank you all so much for all the reblogs. This post now has 40k notes, and the older playlists on Spotify each have between 500 and 2.7k followers. I continually get notifications about activity on this post and am so amazed and happy that people find it so useful!

i’ve been looking for a way to bring you back to life and if I could find a way, then I would bring you back tonight i’d make you look, I’d make you lie i’d take the coldness from your eyes but you told me, “if you love me, let it die”
your eyes stare right through me ignoring my failed attempts to breathe back life into your veins but i can’t start your cold heart beating you’re so far gone, but I’m not leaving
i'll apple your turnover
