Umlaeut: Game Of Metal
A GMless storytelling game for 3-8 players¸ where players (individually or in pairs) take on the roles of heavy metal bands rather than an individual characters. It is designed for 3-4 hours of play with no prep¸ using playing cards rather than dice. The system centers on charting their bands' careers as they rehearse¸ play gigs¸ fight among themselves and pull crazy publicity stunts. Bands have four stats (Hope¸ Ego¸ Fanbase and Cash) and three performance traits (Power¸ Technique and Stagecraft). It uses a card draw scene resolution mechanic similar to Primetime Adventures and Contenders. Each player takes a turn with a scene¸ with the players on their left acting as ""roadie"" (opposition) for the turn. The active player and roadie are dealt a number of cards based on stats and money spent. If the player has more blacks¸ he succeeds in the scene. Whichever of the two has the highest card gets narration rights. - A description from https://darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ with kind permission of John H. Kim"
