Deck-building TTRPG Golden Gear Mock OST

Golden Gear is a tabletop roleplaying deck-building game that my friend Xander Cook and myself, Nathaniel Kassay, have been working towards creating and publishing for several years. This project is a mock soundtrack presented to characterize the world and story of the game system, featuring the clashing styles of classical and modern instruments and sounds.

Hello everyone! I am Nathaniel Kassay and this is my submission for the 2023 GMU Oscar celebration project. today I’m going to Showcase a project that I’ve been working on for several years, and it is nearing completion this semester. this is golden gear this is a deck building roleplaying tabletop game similar to DND or call of Cthulhu but instead of using dice to make actions it uses cards. you draw from a deck and you play cards using action points to do actions in a fantasy world that is set up by yourself and by a game master with a group of friends. this project specifically is focused on the mock OST for Golden gear, meant to display and characterize the style and world of the game as if it were an indie video game. consider it a musical form of world building. this piece that I prepared uses a mixture of synthetic and authentic midi instruments to accentuate the clashing styles within the world itself. in Golden Gear, ancient technology is modern technology, like tanks, guns, computers, robots, and artificial intelligence, and the modern technology is instead fantastical: airships, steam engines, swords and Spears, metal armor, and everything like it. So, try to picture the sweeping landscapes and steam engines of the modern world of golden gear as you listen to its titular theme right here.

and that is the title theme projected for the mock OST for Golden Gear. You can find the entirety of the first disc of the golden gear mock OST on my SoundCloud page soundcloud.com/nate-kassay that is airing December 14th. Thank you very much for watching, I hope you tune in to the full course of this OST as it releases in mid-December and I hope that when it releases you have the opportunity to check out the full version of the game, Golden Gear, as it is published… however we decide to publish it. Thank you very much for watching, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day
