How I use the tracks

Below we have a picture of a playlist for the D&D module Out of the Abyss. Most of the game is in the Underdark, so most of the tracks are underground tracks. Numenera playlist look the same. You can use any program that allows you to play MP3 or Flac files on a loop. I use Itunes myself.

You place the location is the order you think the players may visit them. You can also just use the search feature if they go some place you where not expecting. It's up to each GM to decide how far they want to score a game. You could have a track cued for every location, or you could have three main locations and not have sound the rest of the time. You can see in the picture that I have 14 tracks, but if I wanted to, I could also have traps, tension, and spell tracks on the playlist not to mention all the monster tracks. Only do as much audio as you are OK with. It should never slow down the game.

Thank you for your support,

Wes

How many tracks in the add on packs?
about 7 years ago – Thu, Feb 16, 2017 at 06:39:45 AM

I was asked how many tracks there were in the add-on packs, so below is a list of the packs and the amount of tracks that come with them. All Background loops are 10 minutes long and make up 90% to 100% of the tracks in a pack. Event, Tension and Music tracks range from 2 minutes to 10 minutes. Most event tracks are right around 5 minutes and play like cut scenes that go into background loops. There are sound effect packs inside with short tracks like monster growls or weapons swings. These are counted as one product even though they have lots of tracks. Plate Mail Games has made hundreds of products and so I know it can get a bit confusing. All the products in the bundles are priced at under .75 a track.Hopefully this helps, let me know if you have any other questions.

If you are interested in getting any past packs, simply add the price of the add-on to your base pledge.

Thanks

Wes

95 tracks

and counting! We have crossed the $10,000 mark in the collection and have unlocked almost all the tracks in the Torment, Tides of Numenera The Explorer's Guide Book. Thank you for being apart of the project and bringing audio to the Ninth World.

Nanos on the wind

The Iron Wind is a frightening thought. Mutating everything is touches and warping evaluation's path forever. I think about how this would effect those living in the Ninth World. The horror of being trapped, knowing that the wind was coming and that you are about to change forever, or get even eaten alive. It's a great tool for adding horror into your game. Putting players on the spot and watching them try to escape. I think random tables work best for mutations.

What Next?

Thank you for backing!

The Torment 9

 Back in the 90's I played the original Torment, in fact, I still have it on my PC through Gog. It's a great game and now a new Torment featuring Numenera is coming out. I'm doing 20 locations form the Torment, Tides of Numenera The Explorer's Guide Book which is very exciting. I can't wait for the video game to come out to hear their take on the locations I'm creating for as well. And of course to play it to death. 

9 of the 20 Torment locations have now been unlocked. Thank you so much. We are on track to unlock everything, which is all thanks to you.

Shout Outs

Every time I do a Kickstarter I find great projects. Here are a couple I'm excited about.

Dark City Outlaws 

"Dusk City Outlaws is a tabletop roleplaying game inspired by books, TV shows, and movies like The Lies of Locke Lamora, Leverage, and Ocean's Eleven, where players take on the roles of thieves belonging to the eight cartels that rule the criminal underworld of a massive fantasy city. The players come together to form a crew and take on a job, planning and executing a criminal scheme and earning the respect of their peers."

The Claws Of Madness

"The Claws of Madness is a standalone adventure carefully designed for a group of 1st-level heroes, including new monsters, magic items, and a thrilling story arc. Edited by Michele Carter (co-editor of the 5th Edition Player’s Handbook), this dungeon crawl combines the best elements of classic adventures with fresh new exciting avenues. The story in this book also provides the perfect base for an epic, long-running campaign suitable for higher-level characters, in which the heroes unravel the dark mystery of the mythical Hand of Narkul . . . "

Thank you everyone!
