D&D Ambience - Calm Sea Sailing

The light breeze in your face, the taste of the salty air on your tongue, the rocking of the ship beneath your feet. This is why we sail - the freedom, the peace, the calmness of the open seas.

My favorite thing about this video is how the waves corrilate with the creaking of the masts. As the wind picks up and the masts go under more stress, the ship goes faster and slam into the waves. Its perfect.

I was looking for some board game ambient music and found this and realized It doesn't have to be music and this will draw the players into the experience so much more.

♪♫Come all you young sailor men, listen to me. I'll sing you a song of the fish in the sea. And it's... Windy weather, boys, stormy weather, boys. When the wind blows, we're all together, boys. Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds, blow. Jolly sou'wester boys, steady she goes. Off jumps the eel with the slipper tail. Climbs up the loft and reefs the topsail. And it's... Windy weather, boys, stormy weather, boys. When the wind blows, we're all together, boys. Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds, blow. Jolly sou'wester boys, steady she goes. Then up jumps the shark with his nine rows of teeth. Saying "You eat the dough boys and I'll eat the beef!" And it's... Windy weather, boys, stormy weather, boys. When the wind blows, we're all together, boys. Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds, blow. Jolly sou'wester boys, steady she goes. Up jumps the whale...the largest of all. "If you want any wind, well I'll blow ye's a squall!" And it's... Windy weather, boys, stormy weather, boys. When the wind blows, we're all together, boys. Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds, blow. Jolly sou'wester boys, steady she goes. ♪♫

best sea shanty ever written

[@KP-lq2ux]

just had this and another track playing for my first ever D&D session, really helped me be immersed thru and thru, the rest of my group who have played alot more than me heavily enjoyed it aswell. tracks like this will probably be the main backing tracks for our whole campaign.

While we should savor this tranquility, we should also be ready to deal with sirens, pirates, and sea monsters. I strongly advise applying hemorrhaging oil to our weapons and study marine monster lore.

[@Snakejuce_]

Question for these, is it better to listen with headphones? (As opposed to my laptops speakers or external speaker setup?) And what is it that makes these types of ambience audios more suited for headphones? I often see people writing that it's better to use with headphones. Just curious. Thanks Sword Coast.

[@SwordCoastSoundscapes]

It all depends on the quality of your speakers and headphones. I design and check these on a couple of different speakers and headphones. As a rule for most people - your headphones are probably better quality than your speakers (£50 headphones are going to be a lot better than £50 speakers) Personally, during my games, they’re played through a hi-fi.

''This is what remains, Pate.'' ''What exactly?'' ''This. The world. You think these seagulls notice us? They're busy, catching fish with their beaks. First we get born, then we inherit this world. Its waters. Then we give back - for the arriving generations. And the cycle repeat a thousand times.'' ''Until what?'' ''I don't know, Pate! Maybe... until God farts or something.''

[@GnawedOffShotgun]

Are you new?

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

I get that this is very romantic, but in real life, do wooden ships really creak this much? This tells me the hull or the masts aren't tight; every creak is essentially wood loosening. A ship would fall apart quickly. But I don't know, I'm not an old pirate.

[@SwordCoastSoundscapes]

Ships require an amount of flex to absorb the pressures if the sea and the changing winds. If everything was super tight it might tear apart in a storm. Wood also expands when wet, so it also needs space to do that. This is at least what I understand anyway, I’ve never built a ship myself 😂

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

@@SwordCoastSoundscapes Ahh this makes sense! I know nothing of ship building, I was just trying to understand where the sound comes from and why one wouldn't be worried about it! Great reply!
