I have been listening to some punkbilly and psychobilly bands lately since inspiration struck with regards to my ol' western/meso-american RPG. Thought I'd revisit this thread and add some more bands to the playlist...

A few good lists:

* Two of Spades - Ensiferum
* One More Magic Potion - Ensiferum

I like a lot of these suggestions! I have downloaded most of them because of this thread, and they make great inspirational music while writing/planning.

When I am actually playing though, I have a playlist of music from http://tabletopaudio.com I find it blends into the background well, while still setting a mood.

Will try Syrinscape app on tablet with bluetooth speakers at my game tomorrow.

And if you favour prog rock over Swedish metal, Marillion "Grendel" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rxp5KJOHqmI
