Deserted Town - RPG Ambience

[@elchjol2777]

"Tavburg, used to be one of the three wealthiest cities on the continent. But no one has lived there in nearly one hundred and fifty years. It had it all, a prime location on the river Diyre, crossroads of major trade routes and protection via the Knightly order of the Winter Wolf. Yet now its formerly busy streets are empty, its buildings filled with echoes and the Wolves long since scattered to the winds. They say that much treasure was left behind, I say its gone unclaimed for a reason. Dark magic flows in its streets, strange howls are heard every night and in some areas in it time does not flow properly. I can't stop you lot from going in,but there's good reason why most of the names on this board are crossed out. So few that go in survive to come back here. If you are lucky you might return and put a tally by your name, one for each trip survived yet take a second to look at the crossed out names, even those that have many tallies can still perish. Do you feel lucky?" - Innkeeper Cohol

oh wow.....love this theme when you first start a video/mobile game story. You've captured a fair amount of desolation and bleakness/dreariness.

[@eliaarduini5894]

Oh yes, it's perfect for my campaign

[@RPGMusicMaker]

Glad it helps !!

Weapons ready; split into groups; and search for supplies and survivors. After the rendevous, we will take shelter in a large and well fortified structure for a few nights to rest and get a situational awareness. Burn necrophage and vampire oil in case they come to scavenge.

Gotcha, kill all the squatters and burn any undead.

A city of over 12,000. Humans, mosters, everyone. Their souls harvested from the bodies in an instant, to be used to fuel a mad mage's ambition. To become Immortal, to achieve...Lichdom.

Perfect for a False Hydra scenario once everyone catches on.

“I can’t remember what happened, or how I got in that cave… all I have is a note that says: it ate them all…” “I can’t help but cry when I read this… why can’t I stop crying?”

[@joenap17]

You are too late. Why didn't you save us?

[@kristenlambert2595]

i found my berez theme

[@lizsnotebook1785]

As the player, my character's race is in critical danger of being completely gone. He's a satyr. The city was killed out by a plague of dangerous blue flowers. Now the city sits empty, covered in blue buds and corpses.

Anyone know where to get this sound clip? It would be great for a indie game I'm making. Or how to get in touch with the uploader?

Fyi, You win the Gallagher segments. Congrag

Upon arriving at Everlund, the once vibrant city now appeared desolate and silent as the military convoy entered its large gates. The streets were empty, and the usual sounds of life were replaced by the haunting whistling of the wind. The party decided to rest and headed towards the tavern. Fey, the injured child, was placed in a bed in one of the luxury rooms, and the Warforge Mage continued to watch over her, ensuring a comforting light and warmth enveloped her. Keeping a keen eye of her vital signs to see if the dormant contagion within will begin taking over her body, she hopes the curing process the restoration mage teams works its magic, but her life hangs in the balance, and only time will tell if she turns or not. The familiar sights of Everlund felt strange without the bustling presence of its people. It invoked memories of the initial arrival of the Warforged when paranoia had gripped the city. Some Warforged in the convoy admitted they were stationed here during that time, experiencing a sense of deja vu. The memories of connection and self-discovery when trying to gain trust with the populace were overshadowed by the grim reality of the present. The monsters that infected the living, controlling their unwilling bodies, ripping and tearing themselves apart. Their screams and cries for mercy from the invading contagion still ring in their minds. As the Human, Tiefling, and Elven soldiers of the convoy prepared for sleep, Warforged patrolled the empty streets near the tavern to ensure their safety. The party, surrounded by the echoes of what the city used to be, couldn't help but reflect on the journey from the past to the ominous present. Who could have foreseen the dark turn of events that now cast a shadow over Everlund? As they settled in for the night, the air was heavy with a mix of nostalgia and dread, a stark reminder of the unpredictability of fate. Feel this ambiance perfectly encapsulates this scene and the heartbreaking events of later and the current suspense of what is to come the next day. If you're wondering. Basically, the campaign got railroaded hardcore, and a Black Light Virus similar to the Prototype game sweeps over a recently besieged land, previously besieged by dragons. Evacuation efforts lead most of the populace of The Silvery Marches region to the sword coast where the Eberron Empire's warforge legion occupy most of that western coast for safety. The players shat themselves 5 times over with the sudden change in tone, and the ambiance helps further the fear. They love the story so far.

Im currently writing a campaign that has 4 countries you can go to, one of which is completely abandoned aside from some refugees (the reeson why its abandoned is because of a eldritch god coming through and killing everyone) now the place is home to cults, monsters, and, mutants not to mention the place is infested with dark magic This ambience is perfect for it

Sand Castles - a city of culture, unbreakable fortress. Thousands of people were hiding in the endless prison basement, the man of the Front Union, 30 people are broke the heavy door covered in dust and blood. They're mission was to take a hostages. But nobody was there, 13 soldiers became mentally ill, they were acting like hungry wild animals, its all became a bloodbath. 3 survived, one stayed because of wounds nobody knows what happened with him, second escaped, then he was seen dead without two eyes in the lake, third one returned he became deaf next day, his wife cheated on him then he started to drink very bad, and jump off the mountain. Will you go in?
