I’ve always dreamed of having my own soundboard as a GM to use during our sessions, so I decided to make one myself! It’s currently a work in progress, but feel free to check it out here (works best on desktop in the Chrome browser): https://oraora.nl/GoblinGrooves/index.html
I’m looking for more inspiration for sounds to add. Are there any sounds you think would be great additions, or are essential to add?
Here are the sounds included so far:
Sound FX:
- Forest ambiance
- Cave ambiance
- Water waves
- Howling wind
- Thunder and rain
- Crackling fire
- Town ambiance
- Tavern ambiance
- Knocking
- Creaking door
- Boiling potion
- Wolf howl
- Monster growl
- Explosion
- Sword unsheathing
- Laser gun shot
- Gun shot
- Rapit fire gun
- Lighting strike
- Wilhelmscream
- Horse running
- Trumpet announcement
- Phone ringing
- Energy charge
- Sinister cackle
- Heartbeat
- Magic sparkles
- Siren
Music (3 different sets for each type):
- Calm music
- Festival music
- Battle music
- Scary music
I make sure only to use music and sounds labeled as Creative Commons 0 or free to use for non-commercial purposes.
Any suggestions for additional sounds or feedback on the website would be very welcome!
Finally coming back to this after having it open in a tab for months, lol
I have two bits of feedback. One is that some sounds might be better as one-offs that automatically just play once, rather than being a continuous loop. The rainstorm and forest sounds are good loops, but a lightning strike or gunshot might make more sense as single presses.
Kinda related, I can’t imagine it makes much sense to play two music tracks at once. Switching between them might make more sense as a radio button type experience rather than a checkbox.
Other than that though, this is great. Really simple to use and very clear, but with a great range of options.
