The Golden Idol | Collaboration with the Goblin Explorer
Added 2021-06-15 21:50:29 +0000 UTCHey folks! Today I've got another collaboration with Matt aka The Goblin Explorer. He brings you a stellar map inspired by the intro scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark. If your party can resist attempting to grab the Golden Idol, well... they have more self-control than any party I GM for, let alone Dr. Jones himself. You just know this place is booby trapped to high hell. Grab the map below!
My track today is something I've been meaning to create for a while: a methodical dungeon delving track. This is music for threatening temples that you just KNOW are intricately designed murder boxes. You take it slow, you hit every tile with 10 ft. pole, and you short rest after every small error. Yes, this is a fairly antiquated mode of dungeoneering that harkens back to AD&D, but it's still a totally viable way to handle trap filled tombs and catacombs in crunchier campaigns.
My track "Temple of the Idol" is of course great for rigged dungeons filled with avoidable dangers, but it's also got a very universal "exotic" sound that could reasonably suit a number of ancient races and cultures in your games. Score jungle temples, Eastern caves, or desert ruins. It's also got a fairly hummable melody that I can't get out of my head, so maybe let this serve as a theme song for a whole arc!
If you want something less in-your-face, I've got a sparse variant available to my Artist tier + patrons. Go grab that and the looping versions at the other post! And of course, if you like this map by Matt, you can grab the full version, a VTT-ready version, and all sorts of other goodies over at his Patreon. Thanks y'all!
