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 Tale Tuner Fantasy are divided into handy categories, making it easier to choose when creating a tune. Want to create a tune for a fight in Alrik's Tavern? Then choose an ambience from "Town and Tavern". In the following two steps for sounds and effects, the same category is selected first...we assumed that in Alrik's tidy tavern no rowing sounds or a horse carriage are necessary, but of course you can select them anyway. You can also add the tunes you’ve created to campaigns and then sort them anytime in your library using drag & drop. Tale Tuner 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 Tale Tuner, 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. Dragons and elves are not your game? You want to plan your next run in the megacity and have already packed your monofilament whip and your deck? You are investigators following a trail of the great old ones in Arkham? No problem! We have more Tale Tuner versions for the following settings: - Dark Future (e.g. Shadowrun or Cyberpunk) - Gothic Horror (e.g. Call of Cthulhu, Ravenloft or Witch Hunter) 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 ;)
