Rhythm Encounter 173 – Investigating Fall Music
Given the monumental releases throughout most of 2025, it would be easy to think we saw the best of what last year had to offer by September. But nay! The last quarter of 2025 graced us with many excellent releases, and today we discuss a couple of arrangement albums worth your time, plus four brand-new games and their associated soundtracks that you won’t want to miss out on. As always, find links in our show notes and on RPGFan.com to see all of our Q4 considerations, places to buy and stream, and more!
Featuring: Mike Salbato, Hilary Andreff, Patrick Gann; Edited by Mike Salbato
