In 1996, Toxic Bag Productions' groundbreaking line of sound effects CDs introduced Game Masters across all role-playing genres to the possibilities of adding ambience to their games with sound and music. Today those high-quality sound effects are available as mp3 downloads here at DriveThruRPG. In addition to our classic "Game Masters Collection" and "Battles" sounds we continue to provide new ambiences, music, backgrounds, and one-shot effects (spells, skirmishes, laser gun shots, and the like) for a variety of genres.

If you're a GM who strives to create an enriched and immersive environment for your players by incorporating sound into your games, we have the sounds to help you do that.

We're also the mad minds behind Specimen, a two-player card-driven board game of sci-fi horror, and the Battles of the Zombie Apocalypse book series.

Steve Baldwin
An accomplished sound designer for Chicago theatre, Steve has over fifteen years of experience field recording and creating sound effects. He's also the creator of Specimen and author of the Battles of the Zombie Apocalypse books. 

Joe Griffin

His work has been heard on major TV networks, radio stations and in movie theaters all across the United States. He lives in Chicago with an ever-growing collection of microphones and guitars.

Praise for Toxic Bag Sound Products:

“A pretty creepy collection…Made the hair on my neck stand on end…a must have!” –Brian’s Small Press Picks, Knights of the Dinner Table

“…guaranteed to make them jump…would be a “Sound” addition to your GM’s bag of tricks.” –GameTime magazine

“Every hero needs theme music, and now even the lowliest dungeon-crawler can have some…just the right sound for just the right moment. Diehard game masters – the kind who have painted miniatures for every adventure and spend considerable time assembling props for their games – are going to love this collection.” –Kenneth Newquist, SciFi.com

“Are you one of those DMs who can mimic a fabulous array of voices and make convincing sound effects during the game? Me neither. For those of us with a limited vocal range, Toxic Bag Productions has come to the rescue with a series of sound effects for your roleplaying campaign.” –Dragon #284
