Today I listened something very similar in the Lutheran Church (orgel vesper) . In Russia we have concerts of different music, from classic to modern :)

when your party consist of a dhampir a pirate a sorcerer and some guy with a whip that turns monsters and demons including vampire into a micro mininuke. if it even scratches them.

Castlevaina III, which the show is losely basted on, had four playable characters, Trevor, Sypha, Alucard, and Grant, who was a pirate, and who was cut from the cast during the adaptation process.

What a terrible night to get lost and tonight of all nights

Just ran the Dinner with Strahd event at my table and we used this music during the dinner - it was amazing. Highly recommend this one and Nier's 'Shadowlord' on organ if you're in need of some good organ music

A monster is a relative term. In a birds eye a cat is a monster. We are just used to being the cat.

I run a d&d campaign, and the main BBEG is based kinda loosely on strand, for personality reasons. and this is his theme song. so I found all different remixes of bloody tears and bust out individual songs at specific emotional intervals lol. this version was the first the players heard, when they entered his castle...

I don't generally do music for my games anymore, but I'm running Curse of Strahd right now, and I had to make an exception, though I'm using Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata for his theme. I use the first movement for dramatic scenes, and the third movement for battle.

Just imagining for a moment, that the party includes a bard. The rest of the party wishes to attack while Strahd is distracted, but the bard holds up a hand. Strahd is their mortal foe, but music is what defines the bard's soul. Slowly, he pulls out his instrument, and joins the melancholy song. Strahd, of course, already knew of their arrival, but this is new. He has encountered many who seek to ambush him. Who throw empty threats, self-righteous sermons, and pompous monologues at him. This is an old dance, one he has performed hundreds, perhaps thousands of times, in his attempt to win the love of a woman he can never have. But this bard...he understands. Together, the music swells. A song of unrequited love. Of futility. Of frustration and pain. Of madness born from the refusal to accept the word "no". Of the torment of being trapped in a land that will give him everything, except what he truly desires. And as the song concludes, the bard bows, and draws his sword. "And now...we see if I am to join the Ghost March. Thank you, Count Strahd, for one final indulgence."

This scene literally happens in the novel Vampires of the Mists. Strahd is playing the organ when Jandar Sunstar, a gold elf vampire who is taking refuge in the castle, hears the pain and anguish in the music. Dealing with all the burdens of his unlike as well, Jandar pulls out his flute and Joins Strahd, and during the musical performance the two begin to understand eachother's pain and joys in ways that until then words could never convey. Great story for anyone who loves Ravenloft or just vampires in general!

I feel I’m missing out on a game with a huge story. Mind filling me in?

What a horrible night to have a curse

I plan to be using Bloody Tears as Strahd's main motif. His final boss theme will be the TV show version, and I'm finding various other versions for his other encounters, and this of course for Ravenloft's ambience

The simple fact that this version is slower makes it the best version of Bloody Tears

Beautiful! Castlevania is more than just a game. It represents something in humanity. And the music is a glimce of that

Totally using this as Phase 1 of my boss fight with it turning to the metal remix of the song in Phase 2.

Sad yet Agressive very well done. Dracula would be proud

Oh my God I've been wanting this to be redone its an amazing piece on organ.

The second session of my home brew campaign had the party investigating this high society gala, I dropped hints throughout the session and at the end everyone were revealed to be vampires and their favorite NPC was killed after a monologue from the main villain, set to this song… superb.

If there was one instrument to play this on...

In Dracula's defense, he was around before Strahd. I bet they get together on another plane from time to time to have a feast in the mind of a Belmont a la' Sheogorath and Pelagius III.

I love it.

Curse? There's no curse here! This is epic sweetness!

This is really good stuff.

So cool.

This is 100% going to be the song Strahd is playing when my party walks in to their dinner with him.

Wow!

Rahadin in the background breakdancing.

The difference is subtle, but I like the stronger bass. Good stuff!

literal goosebumps. Cannot wait to DM this shit.

Okay i gotta ask, in the intro before it switches into Bloody Tears: you have opening note done in the style of Toccata & Fuge but then it is the song "Hellfire" from The Hunchback of Notre Dame, right? Right?? Because that also fits Strahd's motivation to a tee!

I yield 🙇‍♂️

I am so happy we are all on the same wavelength. Maybe collective consciousness does exist.
