Oh, yes. I've got the stereo playing non-stop when I play. I've always
been very into music while I write, so why not while I RP? For the
current ongoing campaign that both Jett and Faedra are in, which has a
heavy "Call of Cthulu/Lovecraftian Horror" feel, I stick with the dark
stuff. Pretty much "Music to go mad by", seeing as Jett is getting
driven mad yet again. Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Garbage, Gravity
Kills, Eels (Novacaine for the Soul), Tool (Sober), and the ever-present
"Sweating Bullets" from Megadeth are the MP3s I have lined up. Some
soundtracks I like are The Crow, Mortal Kombat 1 and 2, Escape from LA,
and related. :) My GM is VERY fond of "Greedy Fly" from Bush, and
mentions that he's putting it on every time he throws something evil and
dark and maddening at us.
For lighter, more action/shadowrunning campaigns, I play Stereo MCs,
Aerosmith, Prodigy, that funky "Stayin' Alive" remake from Wyclef
Jean...you get the idea. FWIW, I think "Stayin' Alive" should be, like,
a shadowrunners' anthem or something.
Theme song For Jett? I'd probably have to say Garbage's Number 1 Crush,
currently. However, it depends on the mood I/she is in. :)
