FRC Radio is a music streaming service built specifically for tabletop RPG groups. It lets the Dungeon Master (or any host) stream curated background music to their entire group in real time. No downloads, no installs, no complicated setup - just a browser.
Think of it like having your own personal radio station for game night. You pick the playlist, your players open a link, and everyone hears the same music at the same time. Transition from a peaceful tavern scene to an intense dragon fight with a single button press.
The music library features original compositions and curated tracks organized into playlists designed for specific RPG scenarios - combat encounters, dungeon exploration, town visits, eerie horror sequences, triumphant victories, and more.
FRC Radio is designed to be as simple as possible so you can spend more time playing and less time fiddling with tech.
Head to radio.farreachco.com and enter a channel name. Channel names can include letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores. This opens your Host Control Panel.
From the host panel, browse the available playlists and select one. Music starts streaming immediately. You can switch playlists at any time during your session - perfect for matching the mood to what's happening in the game.
The host panel gives you a shareable listener URL. Send it to your players via Discord, text, email, or however you communicate. They click the link, hit play, and they're connected.
As the host, you have full control. Switch playlists to match the scene, skip tracks, or stop playback entirely. The host panel shows you what's currently playing and the active playlist at all times.
FRC Radio's library is organized into named playlists, each curated for a specific type of tabletop RPG scenario. Playlists cycle through their tracks automatically, so you never have to worry about silence mid-session.
The playlist catalog includes music for a wide range of moods and scenes:
Tracks are sourced from original compositions and curated selections, all delivered via high-quality MP3 streaming through CloudFront CDN for low-latency playback.
Hosting requires a free Far Reach Co. account. You must be logged in before creating a channel. Once authenticated, you can create as many channels as you need.
As a host, your control panel provides:
Each channel is an independent stream. When you select a playlist, the server begins streaming tracks from that playlist in order. If no listeners connect for 10 minutes, the stream goes idle to save resources and will restart when a listener reconnects.
Listeners don't need an account. They just need the listener link from the host. Open it in any modern browser, click the play button, and the stream begins.
Because the stream is server-side, all listeners hear roughly the same point in the music. There's no sync button to press and no drift over time. If a listener joins late, they simply pick up wherever the current track is.
FRC Radio works on a free account with access to the standard playlist library. If you subscribe to Pro on Far Reach Co., you unlock the full catalog of exclusive playlists.
Pro playlists are seamlessly integrated - they appear in the same playlist selector alongside the standard library when you're logged in with a Pro account.
No. Only the host needs an account. Listeners can tune in with just the link.
Absolutely. Open the listener link on a speaker-connected device and use the host panel on your phone or laptop. It works great for both online and in-person sessions.
The server supports MP3, WAV, OGG, and FLAC files - anything FFmpeg can handle. All audio is transcoded to MP3 for streaming.
Yes. Once a playlist is started, the server continues streaming. The stream stays active as long as listeners are connected. It goes idle after 10 minutes with no listeners.
Any logged-in user can send commands to a channel. So if another DM needs to take over music duties, they can open the host panel for the same channel name.
There is no hard listener cap. The stream is designed to handle multiple concurrent listeners per channel.
