Since I regularly cycle around to games about bands, because it’s a classic reason for a party-sized group in a van getting involved in adventures...
So the idea is to create bands that would fit in various settings.
Series about bands are pretty common in TV, books and comics - not just media that actually have music. And there are some RPGs about bands and the like too.
Some of these could be playable series, and indeed some of them are...
Using Umläut: Game Of Metal where you create a band as your “character” and run them through a one-shot of their entire career.
While there are other games about playing members of bands, and you can play bands in other games and this is where the idea came from in the first place... I have Umläut!
Concept
Who are these people?
Members
Name at least one
Statistics. “Set each to 1, except Cash, which starts at zero.”
Hope is how happy your Band is
Ego is how angry they are
Fanbase is how popular they are
Cash is how much money and free time they have
Performance Traits. Assign 7, none of them can be less than 1 though. (I have definitely heard bands with less than 1 in these, but never mind.)
Technique is how skilled the musicians are
Power is how loud the Band can play
Stagecraft is how good they look on stage
3: Dungeons & Dragons & Such
4: Call Of Cthulhu and family
