The Importance of Atmosphere in Role-Playing Games
Using music when dungeon mastering (DMing) can greatly enhance the atmosphere of a game session. Ambient tunes help set the mood and can contribute to an immersive experience during gameplay. For example, a thumping synth-heavy song may be effective during combat scenes but can clash with emotional moments, such as a player character getting downed. This mismatch can distract players, leading to unexpected reactions, like one player requesting the music to be turned off during a tense moment.
