Rock Band 3 was announced today.
It can handle 7 players.
I got the idea to combine playing Rock Band and Tabletop RPGs. See, my D&D group digs Rock Band, and we may end up with a copy of the 3rd game to play. So instead of having basically 2 gears, either dice or Rock Band, why not integrate the 2?
Famous Rock Band travels the world playing concerts and fighting evil/solving mysteries. My main inspirations are Metalocalypse , The Amazing Joy Buzzards, Brutal Legend and Adventure Time. I also want to have players arguing over what songs to play in-character and bicker over things.
I imagine the things they deal with to be over the top and a bit silly, such as running away from hordes of Fans… that have been turned into Zombies due to the magic of an evil Wizard. I also want the characters to a bit over the top, like a guy who can headbang so well, his forehead is his primary attack, or a Keyboardist who can hack the Gibson, a character who is such a spoiled popstar they fight via sending a horde of fans into combat in their stead. A guitar-player who also wields an Axe to murder dudes en masse. The whole time the band is relaxed and generally taking things in stride, except maybe a character who has common sense.
