You meet your Patron in a bar and...

This is what you hear playing when you walk in.

What have you done to add some flavor to your game?

First and foremost - not have every game start with a patron meet in a bar.

I'm working on a module called One night in Brubek's which will feature three or four adventures that start by meeting patrons in that bar. But apart from that, I don't think I've ever started a patron encounter in a bar. The lead-in to patron encounters that I use most is an ad in the newspaper/internet.

Other lead-ins have been being called in to the boss' office and given an assignment and being called by a friend or acquaintance or by a fellow pensioner at the boarding house.

I think you've misunderstood my focus here.

The music, please, not the locale.

I am impressed with the music she is able to create with that, I guess an evolution of the Caribbean drum or steelpan? She's playing it upside down but it sounds great

Sort of suspenseful music, almost a chase scene or a tail following a target is what I imagine.

It's a steel drum turned upside down with some kind of resonator underneath.

It's a steel drum turned upside down with some kind of resonator underneath.

Actually, it's a variation on steel drums, but they're built specifically to be domes, as it gives better intonation over the life of the instrument. They're commercially made in France. They are essentially UFO shaped; the legs are not directly connected to the body, but the body is suspended from them. (One of ASD's music teachers has one, and brought it to an in-service day I was at.)

Sorry, but I was not going to open a possibly risky youtu.be Belgium link that apeared to be a decoy for youtube.com. This is the type of thing that sometimes can get a virus on ones computer.

My apologies if this is a legit site. I didn't take the time to research it.

I can be a bit paranoid but my personal security habits are such that it has prevented viruses and malware on my computer for several years.

That's understandable. If you want, you can do a search for "Spacedrum by Yuki Koshimoto" on YouTube and it should come up.
