Look here for music that is suitable for Fantasy film or Fantasy games. Whether it's Dungeons & Dragons music, or music for a Swords & Sorcery type role playing game, where the story perhaps involves Fairies, Wizards and Goblins, rather than ordinary people, this is your area. The music listed in this Suggested Production Type often carries a sense of magic, amazement and discovery. It can be either Light/Beauty oriented or Creepy/Eerie, or even Scary/Battle music, but the music represented here always has that sense of strange worlds and amazing creatures.
