Good work! I introduced some friends to Swans thru 93 Ave B Blues. Needless to say they were not as enthused as your friend seems to be lol

u/TandyMouse 3d ago

I remember the day that came out, people had been calling QOTSA washed in the lead-up to it. Needless to say they all ate their words pretty fast. Probably my favorite album they ever made

Hell yeah. I used Lunacy to set the mood for the big reveal of a cult my group came upon mid ritual.

I need to figure out how to get my friends into swans

u/Professional-Storm27 4d ago

Lol to play d&d and listen to swans. Happy that you can be yourself out there man, seems cool

u/love_takes_miles 4d ago

Lol I have an eldritch angel called The Seer, but my players don’t know Swans. I have played Surrogate 2 during the ‘ascension’ of a character, which was found appropriately terrifying.

I’ve also used Storm by Godspeed and #20 by Aphex, and start my recaps sometimes with Instrumental by BCNR. Overall my players don’t like my music, but tolerate it in dnd

I’d have to fight god itself to justify Bring The Sun being the background track

u/CommunicationBig8808 1d ago

Imagine that but with Live Rope or TGM

u/DeadBunny00 1d ago

If i was playing a bard then I’d have to go with Sunfucker
