The Gift of Music
Happy nearly Christmas, everyone! I’m old enough to have had a LiveJournal back in the day. It haunts me because I spent the whole of The Social Network kicking myself for not having gone from LJ to building an online social yearbook for Harvard undergrads which would make me a bazillion gazillion dollars in twenty years’ time. What I did was make free LiveJournal layouts of Star Trek: TOS and write fanfiction. WHICH YOU WILL NEVER EVER FIND.
LiveJournal was also full of fan soundtracks – compilations people made for particular fandoms. I found a lot of new music from fan soundtracks which I’d then, er, possibly P2P on SoulSeek. (90s enough for you yet?)
So here’s a Cultist Simulator fan soundtrack! Including thematically appropriate songs for Cultist Simulator, The Dancer, The Priest, The Ghoul and The EXILE, hopefully including some music you both like and haven’t heard of. All available as a Spotify playlist here:
If this proves popular I’ll make a 1920s atmospheric playlist designed to be listened to while you play. For now, enjoy the GIFT of MUSIC – and feel free to make your own fan soundtracks, too!

Neat.
You’re awesome. Fan soundtracks are the best. All of my D&D campaigns and the novel I’m writing have soundtracks. Thanks for sharing this! Will give it a listen. Just in time for my first play of Exile, too…
