Broken Reality – glitchy arcane distortion (collab with Borough Bound)
🕑 Added 2025-06-30 18:13:44 +0000 UTC"The sky stutters. Voices echo with no mouths to shape them. Light bends the wrong way. Something went wrong, and now reality isn’t holding together the way it should."
Hey folks!
Today's track is called Broken Reality, and it’s a collaboration with Borough Bound for their current project, The Shattered Realm: Nulvarith. The idea here is that magic’s been pushed too far, and what’s left is a fractured world barely clinging to coherence.
The track is full of weird reverse effects, warped and warbled strings, glitchy textures, and strange disembodied voices. It’s eerie, unstable, and intentionally a little uncomfortable. Perfect for scenes where the world has been bent or broken by arcane forces, or where reality itself is falling apart.
Alternate Track
Bard tier supporters get access to one alternate version of the track:
Violin Solo: A stripped-back version focusing on the solo violin, though still with weird warbling delay effects to keep the strangeness intact!
30 second preview of this version attached to this post.
Nulvarith | Collaboration with Borough Bound
Nulvarith is the newest setting by Borough Bound, creators of system-agnostic tabletop RPG settlements. Nulvarith is a shattered world now inhabited by a nefarious wizard and his crew of unwitting lackies, a pair of antagonistic interstellar couriers, and a race of mouthless alien gardeners. No one is quite sure how this world was destroyed, but it's clear there are valuable secrets in the wreckage. Can your players make strategic allies while surviving threats that linger in the arcane miasma? Or will they perish in the mines or in the maw of a cosmic dragon?
These bundles of content includes maps, music, and two chapter of the setting guide. To discover all of Nulvarith, head to Borough Bound's Patreon. You'll find oodles more music (almost 300 tracks!), interior maps, variant maps, illustrations, NPC tokens, guides, and more. Also, consider checking out their full range of settings! Over the years, Borough Bound has created everything from flying goblin outposts, hellish Wild West crossroads, and magitech metropolises, each with evocative bespoke music.
Finally, please also enjoy the beautiful and creepy creatures that The Fluffy Folio contributed to this release! Fluffy makes incredible 5e monsters and potions that are as cute and disgusting as anything in this space.
You can find all the Borough Bound bundles by heading to Collab Content > Borough Bound in the download archive (or in the All June 2025 stuff > 230. Broken Reality folder).
I also had a great chat with fellow ttrpg composer Will from Borough Bound; you can read the interview here.
