Learned at yesterday's game some of the Really Effective music is that my
Nightspawn GM had been using; the soundtrack from The Vision of Escaflowne
(anime). Doesn't use the whole thing, but there's some really great orchestral
pieces suitable for climactic battles, mysterious danger, etc. Let me tell
you, it improved our confrontation with Nightlords and their army by at LEAST
200%.

In fact, in SR some more pieces (with Japanese lyrics) might even be useful.
(Heck, I also just sit and listen to it, for that matter...)
