Hey, guys!
When Mori rang my bell with an offer to play this world, I didn't have the first idea what to do with it. I may live in Cowboy Country (for real, Dodge City is only a couple hours away), but I hate western movies, country music, giant belt buckles, rodeo, and cowboy hats. It felt like a serious mismatch.
The next day, while I was working I put on some music and let my mind wander. Next thing I knew, I was totally inspired, with a full character ready to play. It was sudden, like lightning to the brain.
So-o-o-o... I thought I would share a selection of the songs I was listening to when inspiration struck. It's mostly cowboy rock and swampgrass, not my usual fare, but I found them to be pitch-perfect for Deepdweller's Gulch. And honestly, I love all these songs now.
If you're just joining the story, or considering joining the story, or are in the story but feeling the dreaded Block, maybe put this in your ear holes and give these a try. You might just find inspiration, too!
Evil Ways - I feel like this song perfectly sets the tone and mood for DDG. Listen for a taste of country thru a dark lens

When the Devil Calls - Just feels right for the story. Evil baddies, revenge stories, and train robberies abound.
RE: DAN -- A song for Clover

Cut You Down - The one I heard had a Johnny Cash knock off singer, you can look it up if you want. This version features a female singer with a positively haunting vocal style.
RE: MORI -- this one made me think of you

Killin' Floor - totally the soundtrack for gunfights, shootouts, horse chases, and other high-energy scenes

Bad Man - So many characters this could fit with.
RE: ODK Maybe change "man" to "girl" for Patti?
youtu.be/9IDnFzr_ZaY
7th Son - this is the one, THE one, that was playing when Conrad kicked in the doors and demanded to be written
youtu.be/Vw4PsRiXuog
Life of Sin - another one for the setting. To me, it just seems a plain perfect fit.

Hope you guys check these out, and it helps you as much as it helped me.
See you on the threads!
