TALETUNER offers you an easy way to create a soundscape for your next roleplaying session, storytelling evening at a campfire or a telling a good nights story...in just 3 steps. Our "tunes" consist of the following three steps: - Ambience (piece of music in the background) - Sounds (looped sound files) - Effects (sound files with a trigger) Our recommendation, the 1-3-9 rule has proven itself useful in our sessions, so it's 1 ambience, 3 sounds and 9 effects. If you add more sounds or effects to your tune, it can get a bit chaotic ;) Since you can create as many tunes as you like, it makes sense to divide a roleplaying campaign or planned story evening into scenes or chapters. You can name each tune individually and later reopen and customize them in your library. The hand-picked sounds in TALETUNER - Gothic Horror are divided into handy categories, making it easier to choose when creating a tune. Are you looking for the right tune for a cultist site? A journey into the unknown through Lovecraft Country or even a (last) encounter with a great old one? In three short steps you can choose the right sounds for each scenario and save them for your campaign. You can also add the tunes you’ve created to campaigns and then sort them anytime in your library using drag & drop. TALETUNER will add new sounds in regular intervals. If you have urgent wishes or suggestions, we will be happy to receive them at support@zwanzigseiten.de. The most frequent requests will be added to our list! You can test the app in advance with a small pre-selection for free and without registration. If you like TALETUNER, you have the option to make a one-time purchase. By the way, we do not store any data about our customers in our apps. We don't use any analytics or tracking services and we don't annoy anyone with advertisements - promise. Chasing cultists is not your game? You want to plan your next run in the megacity and have already packed your monofilament whip and your deck? You want to free Dragons from evil princesses? No problem! We have more TALETUNER versions for the following settings: - Dark Future (e.g. Shadowrun or Cyberpunk) - Fantasy (e.g. D&D or Pathfinder) As we said, if you have any wishes, suggestions or constructive criticism, feel free to write us at support@zwanzigseiten.de. To all trolls: We have hoarded enough sunlight, so behave ;)
