This piece is nothing more or less than a repeated clockwork tick-tock punctuated by heavy cogs turning—exactly as advertised. Unlike some RPG background pieces, this one has no music, only sound effects. As I first listened, I kept thinking of the scenes inside Big Ben in Disney’s The Great Mouse Detective. If you’re playing D&D, this piece would work great in the background while encountering modrons or making a visit to their clockwork plane. And unlike some RPG MP3 publishers, Plate Mail has paid careful attention to the ID3 tags and has even embedded artwork (of a sort, just words on a maroon background) in the MP3 file. Just drop it into iTunes or similar software and go!
