Superhero hype rpgs12/11/2023 Great music from the Lost Highway soundtrack, it gives the feel I want for Tombstone, someone who's dangerous and crazy but wants to cling to the illusion that he's classy and high-brow. It's like something beautiful is happening, but you can't bring yourself to look at it because we all know how it ends.Īnd on the villainous side of things: The Big Man/Tombstone: "Red Bats with Teeth" by Angelo Badalamenti I freaking love this song, and the more I thought about it, the more perfect it is for Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy's doomed romance. Peter and Gwen: "Madame de Pompadour" from the Doctor Who soundtrack This is pretty much pre-symbiote Eddie Brock in a nutshell, someone who talks and acts like a gigantic jackass and then can't understand why people don't like him. Eddie Brock: "Nobody Loves Me" by Limp Bizkit I have no idea what the hell the song is actually about (if anything), but it's fun and just a little weird and will get stuck in your head all day, which is kind of what I'm going for with MJ at this point: someone who's really cool and really fun, and that you can't get out of your head when she's gone. Underneath his suave and easy-going demeanor is a stew of father issues and whatever the hell happened to him during his years in a 'private school in England.' This song kind of gets me into the mindset of a guy who's tearing himself apart between what is expected of him, and his inability to figure out what he wants for himself. On the outside, Harry is the coolest guy Peter knows, but only Harry himself knows just how close he is to losing it. Harry Osborn: "Fitter, Happier" by Radiohead This song is just about perfect for Gwen and her crush on Peter, a repressed and innocent girl who's just starting to get accustomed to her not-so-innocent feelings towards a friend who barely notices her. Gwen Stacy: "My Junk" from the musical Spring Awakening Peter Parker may be vulnerable and insecure by himself, but when he suits up and takes on the world in the name of his friends and family, he's invincible. This is more what I picture as his 'theme song' in his early days of superhero-ing. And tapping into that nerd-humor makes it easier to connect with the rest of Parker's personality for me. This isn't really because I think it encompasses Peter's life or his destiny as Spider-Man or whatnot it's more that I think this is the sort of crap that Parker would think is funny. Andy C's Playlist: ALL-STAR MARVEL: Peter Parker: "Space Olympics" by The Lonely Island And I wanted to see if anyone else here in the Basement does the same. That said, when I want to get ideas for something to do with my characters in the RPGs, I more often than not find myself turning on my iTunes and finding some tunes that get me in the right mood to play said characters.Ĭertain songs remind me of certain heroes or villains, or specific 'scenes' that I really want to play out, etc, to the point where I've compiled enough different songs that I can pretty much make out a whole 'soundtrack' to my activities in the RPGs. I'd like to say that I'm a very musically-inclined person, despite the fact that I very likely have some of the worst taste in music of anyone I know.
