I have used music in the background of my gaming sessions to give them\u00a0some ambiance. During a Pathfinder panel at GenCon last year I heard about a piece of software that had promise\u00a0it was called Syrinscape<\/a>. This piece of software allows you purchase different sound sets<\/a> that you can use to set the mood of an encounter. For instance they have a “Dragon Battle”, “Bugbear Battle”, “Witchworld”, and “Brindol Town”. There are many more to choose from (23 to be exact) and more coming out each month!<\/p>\n

How does the\u00a0software work? Well as you can see above,\u00a0it\u00a0is like a soundboard. Choosing a\u00a0sound set displays what scenarios are\u00a0available to you. When you\u00a0choose a scenario like the “Busy Market Day” it will begin to play, melding all the tracks together continuously. You can set the volume or turn off and on any of the tracks giving you control of what is playing. A\u00a0feature\u00a0I like\u00a0is when you turn it off or pause the scenarios\u00a0does\u00a0not abruptly stop but\u00a0tapers off . Another feature is you\u00a0can also choose to use sound bytes to play during the playback. These are located at the top of the sound board (see above).\u00a0Brindol Town\u00a0includes\u00a0a roster’s crow, a cow’s moo, and a horses snort. Also at the bottom you will find other sound bytes, like a Lightning spell or a fireball spell. You get the picture.<\/p>\n

So when I opened Syrinscape today to see what was new I noticed something that made be giggle with glee! They are now offering sound sets for Pathfinder’s – Rise of the Runelords<\/em>\u00a0adventure path! The first bundle is out and has been made for\u00a0the Burnt Offerings<\/em>\u00a0adventure. I love this so much and cannot wait to run the adventure path\u00a0with a new group of players so I can use them! To see it in action and hear what the “Glassworks” sound set is all about you can go to their YouTube<\/a> page!<\/p>\n

In closing this is a great piece of software that delivers. If there was one thing I would change it would be\u00a0the ability to make my own sound set. But these guys have that down to a science!<\/p>\n

Give it a try and let me know what you think!<\/p>\n

Until next time Nerds!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
