So this is my first time posting on this website. I found you guys because of this website called The Game Crafter. Anyone heard about it? Its a pretty rad site.
Well anyway, I was thinking about an idea for a card centric game based on the cliches and ideaology of Heavy Metal.
The game would involve two players trying to form THE MOST BRUTAL BAND ON THE PLANET, Managing money, Trying to sway control of the Crowd, Musician Management, etc.
The way I invisioned the game is thus:
There would be 2 Decks of cards that come with the game.
The first deck would contain an array of Musicians (satirical caricatures of some popular and some obscure musicians), a collection of musical equipment (to further modify the stats of the musicians you put into play), and songwriting techniques used in music (such things as "Memorable Chorus", or "Twin Guitar Solos", or "Crunchy Riff"). All these things can be bought with the money that you start out with.
The second deck would contain all the things that the crowd might be expecting from the bands that play. They would have a certain attribute that all the musicians have, lets say for example "Speed 6", which means that the total speed of your band would have to equal or exceed 6. If it exceeds, then you gain some amount of money and sway some of the crowd to your band.
Thats about all I have as far as the initial ideas go. So I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas that might be helpful?
I guess its hard to get people to comment on new game ideas on this site, but I thought that was what this site was for.
I'll be occasionally coming back here but I don't expect to be posting again.
I wasn't trying to spam the forum with off topic rants, but I thought that the name I gave my topic was pretty accurate.
