Sometimes, people get the urge to integrate music into an RPG campaign. I've already talked about this in one respect. I think music can also be helpful as inspiration (or "mood music") while writing or preparing adventures, and sometimes it can be fun to play ambient music during actual play at the table. Here are some miscellaneous video game soundtracks that might be useful for those who run dark fantasy or horror games and want to incorporate some new music.
Shadow of the Beast
Shadow of the Beast II
Shadow of the Beast III
Chakan: The Forever Man
The Immortal
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
Forbidden Siren
Siren: Blood Curse
Scratches
Waxworks
Alien Trilogy
Doom (Playstation version)
Final Doom (Playstation version)
Alone in the Dark (1992)
The Binding of Isaac
Blood
Hexen
Dr. Chaos
The 7th Guest
Clock Tower
Splatterhouse (TurboGrafx-16 version)
Splatterhouse 2
Splatterhouse 3
Uninvited
Shadowgate
Marathon
Sweet Home
Yume Nikki
Dark Seed
Drakkhen
Tombs & Treasure
Nightmare Creatures
Diablo
Diablo II
Shadowman
American McGee's Alice
I mostly had D&D, LotFP, and similar games in mind while choosing these. I think Alien Trilogy and Marathon could be useful for Carcosa, Forbidden Siren and Siren: Blood Curse might fit Qelong well, and American McGee's Alice may be good for A Red & Pleasant Land. Of course, not every track is going to be good as background music, and some of the songs won't fit the appropriate tone for a dark fantasy or horror game, but there's definitely some good stuff here, if you ask me.
