My Gaming Hall of Fame

This is a list of fantasy games that I have enjoyed over the years, they are a mix of video and paper and pencil games. Tell me in the comments what your favorite fantasy games were throughout the past years.

Secret of Mana for the SNES  

The Might and Magic series for me was amazing I started playing M&M II on my apple IIGS many moons ago and than when I got a PC, I got  into M&M VI, VII, VIII, got IX too but that one really sucked 

 

Kingdom Hearts was much loved until I lost the disc:

And now I am currently playing D&D online which is a free MMORPG:  START PLAYING D&D ONLINE

Well, That is pretty much it for video games right now, I am sure more will get added to this list as time flies by.

Here is a list of the paper and pencil games I enjoy:

D&D I have played 2nd through 4th edition

Battletech

Hero Quest

Descent: Journeys into the Dark

Magic the Gathering

Don't forget about the bards

Be it coming from a penny whistle and a lute of the bard or bag pipes droning from a far off misty mountain; your vinyl, CD, or MP3. Music plays a important although perhaps unrealized part in the games you play. Whether it is serving as back round for your daring bar brawl or being listened to by your DM while writing the adventure you are currently playing. 


For as long as I have loved RPG's I have loved music. In the past 15 years or so I have put together quite the list of music that can accompany your next gaming session and help stir thoughts of deep dungeons, great epic wars and far off forgotten lands. There are a few bands that set out to make this kind of music, such as Nox Arcana and Midnight Syndicate. There are also bands that incorporate fantasy theme into the rock, metal or folk such as Finntroll and 
Rasputina. Movie soundtracks as well can be a great place to find music to inspire your gaming; check out the sound
tracks to Lord of the Rings, the Peter Jackson movies as well as the Ralph Bakshi 1978 animated film. 

Other artists that inspire are Reverend Glasseye, Abney Park, Munly and the Lupercalians, Norman Blake, Jim White, Basia Bulat to name a few. Many classical pieces can work great too. This list could and probably should go on forever.

Below are links to these artist mentioned, please check them out and give them some support if you like their stuff buy a record. If you have any suggestions for great music to listen to while gaming or writing a new adventure or just dreaming of gaming than let me know in the comments. I am looking forward to hearing all about great music. http://www.noxarcana.com/
