Composing the music for “Pathfinder: Lands of the Linnorm Kings” took me on a journey of two years. It has been incredibly exciting to dive into this world, as well as daunting, considering the scope of it. I wanted to write music that would support the players to fill this region with life, while leaving room for interpretation and freedom in the game.

I’ve always been a fan of the immersion factor that music and sound bring to TTRPGs. I have fond memories from the olden times of collecting sound effect CDs from the Halloween store to use as background ambience for dungeon-crawling sessions (and then probably going through far too much effort trying to make the setting and the encounters at least sort of match the audio). Granted, those weren’t always the best—if you’ve never had the pleasure of engaging in a tense roleplaying session that keeps getting interrupted by random screams and cackling like an extra in a rubber clown mask at a third-tier state fair funhouse, you’re missing out—but fortunately, the breadth and quality of available sound and ambience options have come a long way since then.
