Tonights game is Umlaut: Game of Metal.
Just to prove my collection doesn't consist solely of White Wolf stuff.
Umlaut is a game where you and up to three friends play as battling Heavy Metal bands of various sub-genres. Such as Glam-Rock, Hair Metal, Death Metal, and Grunge Metal. The game can be played in three hours and no storyteller is required. Now I bet your asking, Lee doesn't that mean it's a sit down board game, and not an RPG, and to that I say, Shut up. I'm the guy writing, you are the guy listening. (Or girl as the case may be.)
Anyway you go through your respective careers and hope that other people don't win narration rights during your scenes. It's everybody elses job to Sabotage you to make sure their band comes out on top. At the end you've created an entire career for a few fictional bands. It's awesome.
Rob, let's get together next week and play this.
