New Ambience: Between Adventures
Greetings Patrons,Happy New Year! I hope you had a safe and joyous holiday season. I managed to sneak away to my studio more than I thought I might. Mostly I did lots of boring things like upgrade hard drives, tidy cabling and some basic sprucing. Between all that, I even managed to write some music...

New Ambience: Lava King's Lair
Greetings Patrons,I was playing around designing a rumble sound last week. I thought it came out pretty well so I designed an entire track around it.Lava King is a boss. Like all bosses who live in subterranean caverns, he's mean - but also a bit lonely. He really (really) looks forward to visit...

New Ambience: Yuletide Cantrips
Greetings Patrons,As usual, I didn't start out writing anything in particular. Definitely not this holiday-adjacement music. But that's what came out! I'm not even sure why this seems so seasonal. Maybe sticking a glockenspiel, harp and cimbalom together just makes it happen? I need to l...
New Ambience: Primate Lab
Greetings Patrons,Sometimes in the process of noodling around you stumble across something that makes you say, 'there's something here, but I don't know what it is yet'. This is exactly what happened when I created a synth patch that made me blurt out: "John Carpenter!".As an...
New Ambience: Darkmoor
Greetings Patrons,Before I drop everything and begin cooking for tomorrow's Thanksgiving dinner, I present to you the (usually) sleepy (and totally made up) county of Darkmoor. Darkmoor is in the moorlands, or moors, which if you've seen the horror classic "An American Werewolf in London...
New Ambience: Tech Market
Greetings Patrons,As a longtime resident of New York CIty, I have an affinity for urban environments. They're not always the easiest places to live, but they do seem to offer occasional surprises that I feel like I wouldn't see in suburbia. Obviously, the country has it's own set of surp...
New Ambience: Map Chamber
Greetings Patrons,This track was entirely based around a violin recording I made a few weeks ago and revisited. It was kind of an anti-violin recording actually. Light bow strokes that only really hinted at the played note. Mostly wispy bow noise and organic sounding string vibrations. I had a heavy...

New Ambience: Goodhaven
Greetings Patrons,Goodhaven is a quiet, peaceful village on the banks of a river. It's a joyous and welcoming place. There's a lovely inn, bountiful game in the woods and a decent ruined church with catacombs nearby in case you get bored. The ambience, as you would expect is verdant meadow,...
New Ambience: Red Sky Mine
Greetings Patrons,As much as I love the pew-pew laser battle aspects of sci-fi, I also love the grittier, hard, humans expanding their reach in a hostile universe side as well. Logistics, resource management, and problem solving may not sell a lot of toys, but they make stories of future humans, or ...

New Ambience: Dungeon Asylum
Greetings Patrons,This started out as a funny thought: What if you, the dungeon master, had a bestiary of creatures at your disposal that were simply too unhinged to function properly. They refused to adhere to their stat blocks. They moved when and where they wanted. Sometimes they just yelled thin...
New Ambience: Winter Encampment
Greetings Patrons,It's still fall here in New York City. In fact, most of our trees still have green leaves on them. But did that stop me from jumping head first into a winter themed ambience? No. No it did not.I was trying out various microphones for violin recording so I figured I'd make t...
New Ambience: The Undercroft
Greetings Patrons,Unlike the word in its current usage, the original, medieval undercrofts, were subterranean. This is obviously the better and more correct way to describe a stone floored, vaulted ceilinged, dimly lit collection of rooms beneath a castle. I don't even want to discuss modern und...

New Ambience: Cryo Pods
Greetings Patrons,As it's officially the spooky month, so I wanted to do a bit of sci-fi horror in the style of Event Horizon, Alien or Sunshine. Cryo Podshas all the elements of classic sci-fi horror. Atonal, arhythmic, and aleatoric. All the A's! But really, at its heart, it's the dic...
New Ambience: Spectral Abbey
Greetings Patrons,This track started out as a Halloween piece, but soon morphed into something magical. As you all know, this happens to me a lot and I simply follow the prevailing winds to whatever destination it's taking me to.I think there's a bit of a Harry Potter vibe in here, so when I...

New Ambience: Lair of the Wyrm
Edit: Oops! I forgot to add id3 tag info to the files. I've fixed that and re-uploaded them!Greetings Patrons,Before anyone asks, yes, I do love the Ken Russel film "Lair of the White Worm". It's one of my favorite campy, low budget comedy/horror films!This is not that. This wyrm isn...
New Ambience: Hotel Noir
Greetings Patrons,Something happens to my brain when I hear a few notes played on the vibraphone. It goes straight back in time and I start seeing everything in black and white.To that end, I embraced this vibe (oof, terrible unintended pun) and created a classic hotel lobby in the film noir traditi...

New Ambience: Fire Dance
Greetings Patrons,The first hints of autumn are descending on New York City and I do love a bonfire in the cool evenings (not in the city, of course). Which is to say, I was thinking about fires when I created this tribal/pagan/ritual track of a group of revelers around a large fire pit. I was proba...
New Ambience: Imperial Pursuit
Edit: Fixed the double 'no troopers' file and replaced one with Amb-only no troopers.Greetings Patrons,This is one of those tracks that I've had in the works for a few months. I liked it originally, and then I didn't. I'd let it be for a week, then listen to it again, change thin...
New Ambience: The Sisterhood
Greetings Patrons,My end of summer vacation is a wrap and I'm excited to be back in the studio.For the latest track, I found myself stumbling back into the universe of Dune. It's another one of my in-between state pieces. A mostly interior setting of a quasi-religious nature. But of course, ...
Custom SoundPad: updated
Greetings Patrons,I know, I know, I should be packing... But! I managed to get all the sounds from the latest SoundPad, Bleakwater Docks, added to the Custom SoundPad tool. There are now over 1100 sounds to mix and match.See you in a week-ish!Timhttps://tabletopaudio.com/custom_sp.html
New Ambience: Bug Hunt
Greetings Patrons,Before I introduce the latest track, I wanted to let you know that I'll be off next week for my annual beach holiday with the family, so there will be no release next Wednesday.Also, the Bleakwater Docks SoundPad has been released to the public, so share away. I'll try and ...
New SoundPad: Bleakwater Docks
Greetings Patrons,Here's a new SoundPad that I've been working on for a while. Astute observers will recognize the title from a 10 minute ambience I did a few years ago. There's also a docks background sound inside the Cthulhu SoundPad from the same year. I wanted to explore that environ...
