Hi all, this is sort of a weird question to be asking, I guess. I'm a first time GM and our Session Zero/Prologue is this coming Thursday. I wrote my own intro and 3-part introductory arc because I wanted to be ready to go once the game came out. Strangely, the Muse album "Black Holes and Revelations" thematically lines up with the entirety of this arc - not necessarily lyrically, but the feel of each track follows the emotional throughline. My question is this - should I tell the players this? On the one hand, I don't want to "spoil" anything. On the other, I think I'd be cool, sort of setting the tone for the adventure, especially since they are a pretty musically-inclined group. Yeah, I know things never go as planned when running a game and I'm sure something'll go very right or very wrong and they'll derail my "album," but I'd like your thoughts.
I'm also going to have each player give me 2 or 3 songs that reflect the feel of their character, not only so I can connect with them emotionally, but so we can have a fun Spotify playlist or something. Thanks.
