Another long percolating mix that I've finally compiled, The Swiftest Blade features a collection of songs outright inspired by TTRPG, fantasy literature, RPG video games and other songs that are at least nerd adjacent.
Going ahead and labeling this as Volume 1 as I'll certainly be able to assemble other mixes of nerdy songs in the future...
| # | Artist | Track |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Wizard Tattoo | Wizard Knife Fight (At a Bar) |
| 1 | Loot the Body | Against the Cult of the Reptile God |
| 3 | Castle Rat | Dagger Dragger |
| 4 | Big Lich | Superfluous Mana |
| 5 | Cara Neir | Shady Blades |
| 6 | Dungeon Crawler | I Still Have That Potion I Looted In The Last Dungeon. I'll Keep It For Later! |
| 7 | Magic Sword | A New Quest |
| 8 | Bog Wizard | The Rogue |
| 9 | Acid Mammoth | Berserker |
| 10 | Book of Wyrms | Meteoric Dagger |
| 11 | King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard | Polygondwanaland |
| 12 | Loot the Body | Caught in a Gelatinous Cube |
| 13 | Wizard Tattoo | My Second Knife Fight |
A point of pride for this mix is that when Loot the Body was planning out Hex Volume 2 he asked for suggestions of classic D&D modules for inspiration and I was one of at least a few who suggested Against the Cult of the Reptile God, which is undoubtedly one of my top five D&D adventures.
