New SoundPad Preview: Monster Pack (Patreon)

I've had this idea kicking around for awhile. An all monster SoundPad.

It's a bit of a departure. SoundPads were originally conceived as  environment simulators. Cohesive sets of background sounds, tones and music that described a place, with a few foreground events thrown in to describe time-specific actions. The Combat SoundPad first broke this mold by not describing a place, but by describing the background and foreground of a larger, action based tableau.

With Monster Pack, I'm taking SoundPad even further from it's roots. Sort of. Monster Pack is really more of a utility add-on. A way to add more elements to existing scenes. I suspect that most of you will access these sounds via the Custom SoundPad, where you'll drop them into already existing places: Dungeons, forests, star ships etc. I actually thought briefly about only adding them to the Custom SoundPad, but clearly I changed my mind. 

I tried to think of only the most iconic and useful adversaries for this set. You won't find anything too specific here. The idea was, that you could probably use the small, medium and large beast sounds for a ton of monsters. The beholder is in there because, well, beholders. 

Each of the 18 monsters has an idle sound and a multi-part attack sound. Category sorting is limited to all, idle or attack.

I'm fairly sure that I'll expand this occasionally with new monster sounds. I know that lots of you will have requests so please remember that I want to keep this as widely useful as possible and for a wide variety of games, not just D&D - even though my header graphic kind of belies this.

I'm still doing some last minute tweaks so this is in preview mode and it's accessible by direct link only - i.e. it's not linked from any of the menus on the site yet. Please don't share it until I say it's ready - should be a few days. I wanted to get this out to you for the weekend. Apparently some of you game then?

These sounds have already been added to Custom SoundPad, no waiting for that one!

I hope you enjoy this latest addition and thank you as always for your support.
