, , , , 0

It’s official, folks: Syrinscape and Dungeons & Dragons have teamed up. The Australian company has now released the first set of atmospheric sounds for a D&D campaign: specifically Waterdeep: Dragon Heist Chapters 1 through 3. Using the Syrinscape app, DMs can instantly establish an atmosphere of sounds on the table, covering every dark alley of the city of Waterdeep. There are even full spoken lines of dialogue delivered by the D&D RPG team. Players will hear the notorious Volo as voiced by Chris Perkins, or the noble Renaer, beautifully acted by Mike Mearls, or a Gazer “voiced” by Satine Phoenix. In addition to the dialog, the SoundPack also includes a rollicking evening in Waterdeep’s notorious watering hole, the Yawning Portal, plus a thunderous Troll attack, a fully interactive Durnan the barkeep to buy drinks from or probe for information, Waterdeep in all four seasons and on Festival Day, a fully interactive Gnome shopkeeper, Kenku, Kobolds, Goblins, a squidgy Gray Ooze battle, weeping men and women and so much more. “The

Syrinscape, the Australian company responsible for establishing the tone of many an RPG with their music and sound packs, has announced their latest release: the Edge of Anarchy Soundpack. This pack is the first volume of the custom audio companion for the Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path, part of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. In the Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path, the kings and queens of Korvosa have long ruled under the shadow of the Curse of the Crimson Throne – an infamous superstition claiming that no monarch of the city of Korvosa shall ever die of old age or produce an heir. As the current king is the latest victim to succumb to this foul legacy, the metropolis teeters on the edge of anarchy and it falls to a band of new heroes to save Korvosa from the greatest threat it has ever known. With the new soundpack, the associated noises of the aforementioned anarchy are at your fingertips. Establish the frantic mood with Syrinscape’s sounds,

Syrinscape Brings D&D To Gen Con

Last week we gave a brief overview of Syrinscape’s plans for Gen Con. Today the event has begun, and we have more detailed information as to what to expect from their booth. As previously reported, Syrinscape will be using the Gen Con crowd to crowdsource sounds for their upcoming Dungeons & Dragons Dragon Heist Soundset. To become immortalized in this set, look for an enclosure called the Soundcave (which Syrinscape has used before). Syrinscape will record your voice and possibly use it in the set’s mix. The Syrinscape booth in the Exhibit Hall (#343) will also have previews of Syrinscape’s soundset for the Pathfinder RPG, Curse of the Crimson Throne, and the world premiere of the first official SoundSet for the Call of Cthulhu RPG. There will be scheduled events within the booth, such as a Friday night Pathfinder Special in the Sagamore Ballroom that accepts 1200 players, and the 1000-player Gamers Live events. Syrinscape creator Benjamin Loomes will be present to host Music & Ambiance in Gaming in the Paizo

Syrinscape At Gen Con

We’ve talked a lot about Syrinscape, the Australian company specializing in music and effects tracks to enhance tabletop games. They’ll be coming to Gen Con soon, and they’re bringing microphones. In the past Syrinscape has used public events to “crowdsource” the atmospheric sound for certain games. The Shoggoth Soundset, for example, was created when they toured around the world and asked people along the way to groan into a microphone. This time, they’ll be creating atmospherics for an upcoming Dungeons & Dragons soundset, the Dragon Heist. If you’ll be attending Gen Con, this is your chance to literally get in the game. There are other reasons to check out Syrinscape at Gen Con…ten of them. The company will be celebrating its tenth anniversary at the con, and showing off recently released soundsets for Pathfinder, Starfinder, Call of Cthulhu and more. Gen Con will be held in Indianapolis from the 2nd through the 5th of August.

Syrinscape, the Australian company specializing in music and effects tracks to enhance your tabletop games, released the Shoggoth Soundset earlier this month. The Shoggoth Soundset is a new array of sounds met to emulate the Lovecraftian beast (or any similar beast) in any game where it might appear. Now Syrinscape is taking its monster sounds (and others) to the UK Games Expo in Birmingham. Benjamin Loomes will serve as the grand master of an all-star Call of Cthulhu game session featuring Munchkin and Dork Tower artist John Kovalic, Pathfinder’s Jason Bulmahn and Amanda Kunz, Call of Cthulhu’s Mike Mason and host of Knightmare Live Paul Flannery. Naturally, the game will be enhanced by Syrinscape’s signature product. “As the room is transformed, the players will clutch desperately to their sanity in an immersive game of psychic horror and Cthulhu mythos,” Syrinscape says. “Audience members are invited to not only watch the show, but to participate by offering up party twists to frustrate the players and playing flash-mob-style sound cues.” The Shoggoth

Syrinscape, the Australian company specializing in music and effects tracks to enhance your tabletop games, has released the Shoggoth Soundset, a new set of sounds met to emulate the Lovecraftian beast in any game where it or a similar monster might appear. Wait’ll you hear how they created it. Throughout 2017, a team representing Syrinscape traveled all over the world, through the US, the UK and the rest of Europe…and on every stop, they’d ask people to groan, roar or emit whatever beastly sound they could come up with. The end result is truly one of a kind….a multi-lingual horrific mono-voice merged from thousands. Syrinscape’s take on what the Shoggoth sounds like is certainly the most creative (and elaborate). “The legendary Shoggoth truly comes alive with this amazing collection of voices from around the world, carefully curated and lovingly edited with repeated sanity checks,” says Benjamin Loomes, Syrinscape’s CEO and Creative Director. “Absolutely everyone who contributed their voice is included in the mass-voice hideosity that is Lovecraft’s Shoggoth!” The Shoggoth

Because modern technology has a solution for everything, there’s an easy way to establish atmosphere in a tabletop RPG: an app that plays atmospheric sound. The Australian company Syrinscape specializes in creating this type of thing, and sound packs on their app can be purchased for $3.99 each. This week they released four new packs for varied situations, and provided YouTube previews… The Bustling Port Town SoundSet features a vibrant, colorful, pungent port town that thrums with trade, traffic and passion. Players can shop for anything in the stalls, stores and back alleys of this town’s thriving cosmopolitan streets. “I am super proud of the work the Syrinscape team did on this particularly rich and fantastic and amazing immersive soundset,” says Syrinscape creator Benjamin Loomes (that’s him in the thumbnail). It’s dead, it’s angry and it’s see-through. The Wraith Battle SoundSet includes sounds of a haunted crypt with something in the walls, wraiths battling, rat scratches and a slew of unsettling noises.
