How to Run Audio for Multiple D&D Groups

Written by

Give each group its own campaign, build reusable scenes once, and switch between them with one tap. That keeps prep small, even if you run several games a week.

The problem with several groups

Each group has its own tone, story and favourite scenes. Prepping audio from scratch for every session is a lot of work, and mixing them up mid-game is worse.

A system that scales

  1. One campaign per group. Keep each group’s scenes together, so nothing gets mixed up.
  2. Build reusable scenes. A tavern, a road, a dungeon and a boss fight work across campaigns. Duplicate and adjust.
  3. Tune per group. One group likes ambient and quiet; another wants epic. Adjust music, levels and reverb in each group’s copy.
  4. Prep only what’s next. Three to six scenes per session. See prep audio in 15 minutes.
  5. Start from community campaigns for published adventures, such as Death House, then customize them for the table.

Tips for professional game masters

  • Name scenes clearly, so you can find them mid-session.
  • Keep one generic campaign for improvisation.
  • Use a Stream Deck or Siri so audio stays hands-free. See how.
  • If you stream or record, rely on audio cleared for commercial use. See streaming with audio.
