Sound Effects and Ambient music

[FruitCakeRonin]

Hello

I am currently making my first Pathfinder campaign, and I know I'm gonna be using my laptop to keep track of things when I start playing, and so I thought to myself that it could be cool to have ambient music playing from my laptop and various music effects to enhance the atmosphere.

So has anyone ever done this, and if so, got any ideas as to where I can find sounds bits I can use?

Check out Syrinscape. It comes with two free packages of thematic sound effects on loop. It's pretty much a mixing board for roleplaying games. I know one of the free packages is something like "Bugbear Battle." The other packages are fairly cheap too if you like the free ones.

I've played in games with music and sound effects, and if done right, it's a lot of fun. Just be sure to play the music at a low volume so the players and DM don't have to talk over it. Youtube, surprisingly, can have some really good music on it if you're looking for a battle theme. I know touhou's got some really awesome remixes.

The folks over at Toxic bag make gaming sound effects that are really nice. Everything from traps to cultist chants and even sci fi stuff.
