The War Drums Audit — Free Sound Library & Casting Call

A $0, royalty-free, permissively-licensed sound library assembled to replace the synthesized kit (app/js/fx.js — the WebAudio "clacky-tacky" voices) wherever a real recording hits harder. License ladder: CC0 wherever possible (public domain, zero obligations), CC-BY only where the sound earns its one-line credit (marked CC-BY; credit lines live in assets/sfx/LICENSES.md). Nothing share-alike, nothing paid. Full manifest: assets/sfx/LICENSES.md · regenerate with assets/sfx/tools/make_catalog.py.

How the casting call works

audition → star → I wire it
Each row below is one voice the game actually plays today (the 14 Sfx voices in fx.js plus the page-level events that call them). Press any candidate to hear it; the currently-synthesized character is described in italics so you can A/B against the game. Clicking a candidate plays it AND makes it your pick for that voice (one pick per voice — the last one you clicked wins); the ☆ chip on a candidate's right toggles a pick without playing. Picks persist (localStorage cg-sfx-cast) — hit COPY PICKED CAST in the bottom bar and paste the result in chat: I rewire Sfx to play the picked file (keeping per-voice synthesis as the instant fallback and keeping the mute chip, no engine change). Voices you don't pick keep the synthesis you already liked.
