Best background songs for playing DND

1. Step into the Stinky Dragon by Micah Risinger – look, I’m cheating with this one because it’s from the DND actual play podcast Tales from the Stinky Dragon, but I’m not sorry — it’s just amazing! Great for literally anything. (Bonus – another amazing song by Micah that’s been stuck in my head for weeks: His Name Is Mudd (firbolg comedy song).)

3. Running up that hill (by Kate Bush) instrumentals only, performed by the Unsecret String Quartet. Great for emotional scenes.

4. Heroic Fantasy Music by the Fiechters. Good for the start of initiative in combat scenes and for use as a theme song for characters in the martial classes.

5. If in a fantasy Maori setting – Hine-i-te Awatea (Oceanic Feeling, the Maori translation version) by Lorde. Good for druids. ♥️

I recently tried searching for songs and playlists to help me build confidence that things can and will go well for me…

But I couldn’t find any good lists 😔 😕

So here’s the list I made for myself! It’s a public playlist on YouTube Music – TJ Withers – so go ahead and add it to your library if you like it!

I found all of these artists through tiktok and I like their style!

I plan to add to this list, so let me know your favourite songs to help you feel lucky and optimistic and manifest only the best for yourself!

You’ll recognise Sia, of course, and you might know Morgan St Jean as the singer songwriter who went viral for “Not All Men”. As an SA survivor myself, I love that song more than words can say, and I love this new song by her, “Energy”, even more!

All my love to these artists for their work, I’m really enjoying listening to your songs to motivate me through a difficult time in life!
