Rhythm Encounter 153 – Build Your Own RPG Soundtrack: Hard Mode

Rhythm Encounter 153 Build Your Own RPG - different game artwork overlaid on a rainbow of LEGO bricks

Almost exactly a year ago, four panelists came together to build a soundtrack to an imaginary RPG out of 8 fragments of other RPGs. Today, we’re doing it again, except our “Hard Mode” rules dictate that we must choose songs from our source games with different use cases. So our Town Theme could be anything except another game’s town theme, and so on. What kind of RPG will we assemble this time? Find out with us!

Featuring: Mike Salbato, Hilary Andreff, Gio Castillo, Lucas Greene; Edited by Mike Salbato
