(this is OOC)

Currently, players uses text, and pictures to set the scene and mood of RPs. I have a new suggestion - the theme tune!

Comments? Ideas? Is this good or bad?

I think its a good idea, as long as you put a warning in the topic saying you have music

Listening to the music would be optional. The player just has to post a link to the music file.

Mmmm... Majora's Mask. :)

I use music, thought not very much. An example is my national anthem, the unabridged version you can find here (http://www.angelfire.com/ns2/resicorporation/resitheme.mp3).

Nice anthem. You should make an entry for the world factbook thread (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=74382&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=).

I did (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=93423), but it hasn't been added yet.

Actually, I often bring up music in my posts to set a mood...
For huge bombing raids, or space assaults, or naval invaisons or bombardments, use something Wagnerish... Also works well for huge battles.

I always think of Led Zepplin's immigrant song when I think of fighter pilots flying into battle.

War and action movie soundtracks (Band of Brothers and Black Hawk Down, in particular) are very useful for well, war and action RPs.

Just make sure to include the file name on the url. Look at my example.

I've been known to interweave lyrics from a song if I find they fit in with the idea of the post.
