Review
A spine chilling soundtrack with both haunting, heart-breaking melodies and dark, brooding rumblings. This soundtrack should only be used for truly dark and spooky adventures or campaigns, and is perfect for terrifying the characters.
It would probably be easiest to use in a fantasy setting, as there are more gouls and such like around, but it would work well in a ghost ship style science fiction adventure. I used the music well in "Blood Wood", a dark setting and the music put the players very much "on edge". The music works well when it is timed to a description, as the music fluctuates quite a lot.
An excellent score well worth having . . .
