Work has continued on my module, Echoes of the Past (still not entirely happy with that title, but I guess that’s why you refer to them as working titles). I sent a plot synopsis to a publisher who shall remain nameless and was, to my astonishment, given the all-clear to write a manuscript and present it to them for further analysis. This doesn’t mean it’s going to be published (although I suppose it still could be), but it’s at least a step in the right direction.

I had Charlotte (my iPod) beside me for the majority of my brainstorming sessions, and thought it might be amusing to share my ‘dungeon designing’ playlist with everyone. The soundtrack to my adventure, if you will. Although that said, don’t look too hard for any kind of ‘theme’ here. I mostly felt this was just a good selection of random tunes to get my creative juices going.

“In the Heat of the Night” – Diamond Head
“Perfect Strangers” – Deep Purple
“The Black River” – The Sword
“Curse of the Pharaohs” – Mercyful Fate
“Ghost Light” – Pyramaze
“The Holy Cross” – Stormwarrior
“Silver Machine” – Hawkwind
“The Four Horsemen” – Aphrodite’s Child
“The Gunslinger” – Demons & Wizards
“Warrior” – Wishbone Ash
“Exiles” – King Crimson
“Light in the Black” – Rainbow
“Future World” – Helloween
“Dreamer Deceiver” – Judas Priest
“Knights of Cydonia” – Muse
“An American Trilogy” – Elvis Presley

Conclusion: mixing metal, prog, and Elvis together will make your adventures really weird. Use with extreme caution.
