Not actually heard of that system, so thanks for mentioning it so I could look it up. Unfortunately, the company doesn't deliver to NZ, and while it looks like I might be able to get it here from an NZ online store, the cost was a little crazy. Hopefully my local game store will get it here at a more reasonable price.It's going to use the same Essence20 system that their GI Joe and Power Rangers games use. I'm looking forward to trying it out myself.
Several of us were talking about that kind of game a few years ago.Rock Band.
Hear me out. The idea of playing a traveling band, playing bigger and bigger gigs, having to deal with rivals and corrupt agents... Could be a lot of fun! Somehow you would need to find a way to incorporate actual music into the game. Maybe a simple sound-mixing app that players can use to add premade tracks in order to create new songs?
You could add elements to make it more fantastical (like Scott Pilgrim vs the World), go full fantasy (Ye Olde Rocke Bande), head into the future (Cyberpunk Rock Band, aka Daft Punk), or just play it straight.
Alas, the brainstorming thread mentioned in there was lost.Side note: I have decided to design a board game dealing with the trials and tribulations of becoming a world-touring, platinum-selling Heavy Metal band. I will call it..."ÜMLÄÜT!"
