I never fucking understood it. How the fuck did they find that computer again? They just seemed to drop you into it, without any explanation of why or how these kids suddenly found this secret lab thing.

Seriously, it really does.

Micheal Jackson makes you a pedo?

Hack someone's DNA with an iPod, kill a whole room with a set of large speakers, "the brown note", Pied Piper Pimp of Hamlin.

She can remap my DNA whenever she wants.

Factions:

The Deaf Ones, they dislike any of this melo-shit and they choose to develop anty-tech that impedes any DNA-mix on them.

Diamond Counts, they have monopoly on certain material that is vital to make this DNA-magic.

etc.

This has some intriguing potential.

>>2714961
They went and made a prequel two-parter to explain most of the origin story.

Turns out that before getting involved in the mess, Jeremy was an aspiring Robot Wars entrant.

>>2714976
Diamond Counts sounds weird. Let's make it a cartel of medical corporations called the "Platinum Council," with about the same politics of SR's Corporate Court.

>>2714975
"Brown Note" is actually the Area Effect version of the "Proplapse" spell some other anon cooked up when we were brainstorming SR random encounters a few weeks back.

A cartoon Freefonix might interest you (it's basically from a similar company to the Code Lyoko lot, but it's a more sci fi setting). Music is used in combat, both as "battle of the bands" style, and as a projectile force:

"And It Don't Stop" by Andrew Hussie.

Intense robot fighting rap-offs. Read it.

As for the setting, that sounds pretty sweet.

Hard rock save the space!

This is fucking retarded.

My addiction to drum'n'bass would make me some kind of techno berzerker.

>>2715037
Ah, yes, Freefonix. If ever there was a show that knew the true cancerous nature of American pop music, this was it.

What I'm planning, however, is total musical war. We're not talking Pop vs. Techno. We're talking Pop (charisma) vs. Techno (reaction) vs. Rock (strength) vs. Metal (willpower) vs. Classical (brainpower) vs. Video Game Remixes (enough variables to cover their own splatbook), and so on, with our heroes walking the thin line between the opulence of the Platinum Council and the savagery of the Deaf Ones.

this is retardedly awesome

Macross?

>Metal (willpower)

PUNK ROCK TRIED TO KILL THE METAL.

AND IT FAILED.

Hip-hop/rap ought to be in there. As... terrible... as it is, it's popular. Stealth?

>>2715107
Hip-hop and Rap count as Constitution. Playa always watchin' his six, dig?

Er, yes and no.

Some DNA is useful. Most DNA is mostly useless. Some DNA is useless.

>>2715363
Nah, I just get a bad taste in my mouth when I hear people like Ja Rule being called something other than pop, cause there is no difference between him and Britney Spears.

Now that I think about it, that does sound like a troll, but don't take it as such.

>>2715414
Yes.

>>2715482

>>2715339 Let rap be the same as pop or some shit
That doesn't seem fair to me. Just because some rap is commercial garbage doesn't mean that all of it is.

But I'm not sure on the distinction between hip hop and rap in the first place. I usually hear them used interchangably. What's the difference?

>>2715501
Hip Pop is more concerned with the beat while Rap is concerned with making money.

>>2714934
That's pretty cool OP.

>>2715485
>>2715482
>>2715414

Shit OP... it's really grown on me after reading it a couple of times. Thanks for the inspiration.

>>2715501
Generally, hip hop has more varied instrumentals with a discernable melody and the lyrics tend to be structured as a solilliquy. Rap has instrumentals that are more industrialist or deconstructive in nature with lyrics that form a narrative. Since the fall of "true" gangsta rap in the mid 90s and its replacement with "pimp" rap by the likes of Sean Combs, the narratives of rap have become increasingly simplistic (read stupid) while the instrumentals have become more extravagant even without having a defined melody. This change has made rap almost identical to modern pop (and since pop is by definition popular music, and usually pretty bland at that, rap=pop). Thats why I originally asked that rap not be used as the same as hip hop, and I'm sorry if I still sound like a troll.

This idea sounds pretty neat. I could get into something like this. But don't just use the "big" musical genres, make sure to include some slightly less radio-friendly shit in there too. Aggro Reggae, Third Wave Ska, Punk(real punk not shitty pop-punk that plays on the radio), and don't forget about cross blended music like Techno-Metal or Rap-Rock.

>>2715719
No, you sound like someone who actually knows what he's talking about when it comes to music. Continue as you were.

This is getting a little too /mu/. Maybe take your genre-wank over there and let this thread be for the game part?

>>2715809

Maybe some of the sub-genres could boost substats, or in case of a lack of sub-stats, HP, movement speed, etc.

Dont forget Hickhop.

although I think Cowboy Troy and Big & Rich may have been the only ones to ever do that with any degree of success, so I dunno if that counts as a genre or just some thing a few dudes have done.

how widespread does something have to be before it can be considered a genre?

>>2715852
Or they could be prestige classes?

>>2715852
Interesting. Swing improves interpersonal relations, Gregorian chants help you concentrate and give bonuses to the system equivalent of Knowledge(Religion), black metal applies combat bonuses, et cetera.

>>2715889

country gives penalties. to everything.

>>2714934
> Techno beats jack up a person's reflexes
Why?

Seconding third wave ska. Maybe it could give you a boost to movement?

A noisy environment degrades your genome, causing cancer and other malfunctions, necessitating constant repair.

Players should have to actually sing what they want to do to their character.

>>2715996
"No problem."

"She packed my bags... last night, pre-flight... zero hour... 9 AM..."

1) Keep Code Lyoko the FUCK OUT of your game; do NOT add Forehead into your fluff.

2) Mixmaster and Melodoc are retarded terms. There's probably better ones out there.

I want to be a GJ (Genome Jockey).

>>2716038

Seconding GJ over "Mixmaster"

>>2715918

I would have thought dodge.

>>2715082


I am LOVING this idea! I think it's got some TRUE potential.

So, would New Age and Electronica be sub--genres for Techno?

>>2716031

#1: SHUT UP about Code: Lyoko!

#2: Either think of something better, or shush!

Fuck yes OP this is fucking awesome.

Each major genre of music should be a class, with multiclassing available to follow a mixed genre.

So, if you wanted to be a Bassist utilising the power of Slam Death Metal, perhaps you'd need Extreme Metal (5) and Hip Hop (2) or something.

Oh shit, further specialisation or generalisation could come through instrumental choices.

A mixing deck could be the all-comers, generalist choice giving a wide range of abilities, while something like guitar might have a large offensive bias with few defensive skills, unless you took the right Genre and Subgenre skills to augment it.

So, an Electronica Mixer might be the basic model for someone new to the game. A wide range of skills, abilities and influences at its disposal, it would be perfect for learning the ups and downs.

A more specialised example might be something like a Doom Metal Guitarist. Doom Metal is slow and lacks the aggression of faster genres, instead focusing on heaviness and a stalwart position, making it a very odd, tanky, defensive kind of Guitar Specialisation.

So, we could have two levels of Classes:

- Instrumental Class
- Genre Class

Which would mix to provide your specific abilities and stats. Then, you can multitask in one or both if you wish, opening new opportunities, but weakening potential in other areas. We could act on musicfag elitism, too, so you can't mix Shred Guitar with any kind of Hip Hop, and you can't mix Classical Violin with anything, lol.

>>2716163
Electronica is a prestige class for techno, gives you an even greater speed increase, decreases stamina (nerds tend to like it, and you know we're all weedy little fucks), boosts charisma/social attributes with other Techno-faction members, less so with genres that sample from Techno (Rap if it's separate from Pop, Hip-Hop, possibly Jazz, since a lot of Electronica seems Jazz-inspired to me), decreases same stats with Rock, Metal, Folk, genres whose members would see Techno as not analogue enough, too faggoty, whatever. Also, are we going to implement a specific alignment system?

Alignments aren't necessary, I think.

Bump, this is a fantastic idea.

All smooth Jazz, all the time.

OP, this idea was MUCH too awesome to share with /tg/. You could have like, made money off this.

Does OP mind if I steal this idea (and those associated with it) for my own personal uses? Honestly, it's pretty damned fucking awesome and I love music. I may be stuck up all night thinking about shit.

On a bit of a more related note, would someone be kind enough to compile a list of musical genres and sub-genres, possibly linking to an example of each? I think it would be a great help for this thread if we have both the list of each genre and a set of examples for each genre. Especially with lesser known genres. I don't even know what Reggae or Ska sound like.

Expanding on some stuff:
I don't think it should necessarily be stuck that one genre does one attribute. It should also be a but more by each individual song. What if you have this techno track, but it's a little slower and heavier than normal counterparts? It shouldn't boost your speed as much. Maybe it could also help defense.

Also, if this is going to be implemented over the internet somehow (IE, forum RP or IM's) maybe one could link to specific files they want to use for their characters, and decisions on stat changes could come off of that.

I am going to make a army composed of Daft Punk and the Cowboy Bebop Soundtrack and there is nothing you can do to stop me.

>>2716163
>>2716207

There is no such thing as electronica.

>>2716852

Way ahead of you man

I want OP's permission to make this into a movie/video game in the future.

Remixes/Covers = Metamagic.

Would Alt rock be status-enducing? Hard rock and Metal could be attack spells. Country music could throw earth-based attacks

>>2717017
On which part? Composing a list? Stealing it?

Here's an idea: Children exposed to only one genre of music, resulting in paragons of everything that music represents. A tiny bit like elementals.

>>2716868
I've got Journey and Yuki Kajiura. Your move.

>>2717109
I'll respond with some dragonforce and the Final Fantasy VII soundtrack.

>>2716852
Samefag.

Another idea: What if lyrics also affected characters? I mean, there are upbeat songs, but they have sad lyrics, or vice-versa (maybe). Look at songs like, uh.... Megadeth's A Tout Le Monde. It's not a slow, sad song. It's rather upbeat, as rock is, but the lyrics are rather saddening. It's about what would happen if the composer (forget who, Mustaine maybe?) HAD to say goodbye and leave this world.

>>2717120
OH IT'S ON.

>>2715895

>>2717161

READY FOR ANOTHER?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsBdxVpUnS0

We need a drawfag on this. I see a super-cyberpunk scene. Cyberpunk versions of a genre stereotypes. I wish I could draw what I'm thinking right now. A hip-hop musician with a gas mask and some sort of mouthplate. Goggles wrapped up over his head. A digital mixer strapped to his forearm Yu-gi-Oh! duel-disk style. Heavy Metal player with an axe for a guitar. In amplifier built into their mouth noise-marine style. Spiked leather jacket. Techno would be the most cyberpunk looking of them all. Glasses like the black dude from Star Trek: Voyager, Circuitry tattoos running up their faces. USB ports in the back of their necks. When they need to play they drop pods that make a hovering keyboard screen in midar in front of them. Only it would go around them like Zorak in Space Ghost: Coast to Coast


That could be worked into a video game too. A character creation system could let players select different items depending on the class.

>>2717203
GOOD, BUT NOT THIS TIME!

Three Days Grace and follow it up with Flogging Molly!

>>2717220

Maybe also tell me a few more specifics, too. Unless you just want to give me near-total creative freedom.

>>2717290
>Avenged Sevenfold

So named because each of them has sucked seven dicks before they joined the band. Since joining, they have collectively sucked over 9000 dicks.

East Coast Notorious Lords vs West Coast Pimptastic Wizards

They are Hip Hop rappers , they think the other side must die because there can be only one, so they fight everyday with any kind of weapon they have.

Bump.

I remembered now that I had an idea that expanded off of the one I expressed in >>2717121 It's a bit specific, but Metallica's Fuel could set someone's weapon (or fists) on fire, much like spells in DnD do.

>>2718770
I was going to work on that today after school and shit.

>>2719078

coolness.

Drawfag reporting in. Heading to Life Drawing class in an hour, so I'll try to get a nice sketch in.

I can do a quic pic before I go aswell, first awesome request gets it.

OP here. Holy fuck.

I thought at first that the FOREHEADS would drive everybody away and I'd have to repost this thing using one of my Trombe! macros.

As for stealing this idea to use for making rules and/or money, Anon and pals may do so as long as I'm given "Concept By" or "Special Thanks To" status. Also give special thanks to Capcom All Staff; I thought this up in my car while listening to a fuckton of Megaman remixes (mostly X and Zero stuff).

>>2720417
I was gonna steal it for personal, non-profit uses here, not for anything profited.

>>2720417
Hey OP, >>2716852 here. I was going to use it for personal uses. Non-profit. I just think the idea is awesome. I was wanting to work with you fa/tg/uys and my other friends to turn this into an RP.\ on some forums.

>>2721146
>>2721046
Sorry for posting multiple times, it's not showing me that they go up. :|

This is bad.

Really bad.

MeloDNA? SERIOUSLY?

Before anyone starts writing up rules, I think some clarification on the system at large is in order.

Remember that the "music as weaponry" part is supposed to be minor at best, the system is supposed to be about "music as transhuman augmentation." Genres are analogous to the races of other systems, hence >>2716852's idea of songs granting multiple bonuses due to variations works. Thus, here's a rough stat idea that focuses on base musical elements rather than genres:

- Fast beats: Reaction and Initiative. The realm of techno ravers, tribal neo-Luddites (because every cyberpunk system needs Luddites), and anyone who can play "Chopsticks."
- Slow beats: Defense and Constitution. Country and R&B dominate the field.
- Heavy bass: Attack and Dexterity. Attacker classes will generally stem from Rock and Metal lineages.
- Consistent Rhythm: HP and Charisma. Pop, Oldies, and Classical players, while not quite as geared for rollplayan, have the advantage here for roleplayan fast talk and longetivity.

>>2721161
This has happened to me on /m/ several times: the compressed thread shows my most recent post added to it, but it's missing when I load the thread proper. Blame MySquirrels and reload a couple of times.

>>2721178
Finally, an angry complaint that isn't about the FOREHEADS. Yeah, MeloDNA is shit, but I can't think of anything else.

>>2717262
>some meddling kids and that fucking dog too
You brought this upon yourself (dog not pictured).

>>2721270
Honestly, I liked the MeloDNA thing. <__> I thought it was a cool play one words.

>>2714934

You forgot to say "Coming soon to Nintendo DS".

>>2721270
OP, would you mind emailing me real quick, I honestly really enjoy this idea and would like to talk a few things over with you.

>>2721178
>This is good.

>Really good.

>MeloDNA? AWESOME.

>>2721463
No, I didn't. The Game Factory would have fagged up the DS release with their loose grasp of continuity.

(TRANSLATOR'S NOTE: This already happened. Twice.)

One last thing: We never actually NAMED this scenario.

I'm looking at a tossup between "Mixmaster" and "Audiomancer," personally. If anyone else has a good name, though...

>>2721590

anything with "-mancers" is good.

>>2721590
I got an idea that combined both.

"Audiomancers: Mixmasters of the New Era"

>>2721657

"Audiomancers: GJs of the New Era"

Slightly better? using the GJ idea from earlier

Fucking awesome can I join your game? Plus I know a few friends that would love this too!

>>2721688
GJ is the PC designation, and IMHO unwieldly for the title. Let's go with >>2721657, and not just because he's practically sucking me off at this point.

>>2721688
Actually, yeah. I like that more, because you are going to be getting the GJ's more often, I think....

>>2721713
Hrm....

Stupid late posts.

Anyways.... GJ fits better for doctors, I think. It's the Genome Jockey, and I think that was suggested instead of your original MeloDocs. But GJ (gee-jay) is kinda hard to say, so.... I dunno. Maybe try to find something else to use like the "biorhythm" that was brought up?

You know what would be interesting twist?

Since we have organizations that seem a little overt. How about one very secret one... comprised of Classical Audiomancers/Mixmasters/GJs? Figured they'd have a fancy name that only the elite few would know. Either something in classical Latin or French, for a classical (for either languages), and ellegant (for the French) feel.

I mean, seriously. You'd see some that secretly hold onto cyberized Violins, or Flutes, or even an arm-strapped keyboard designed to work like a Pipe Organ.

>>2720417
I was the one that wanted to use it to make an actual product with. And yes I'd be happy to put a special thanks thing on there

Sup fa/tg/uys. Took up >>2717220's idea. This is my first drawfag, but here's what I have so far. This is the hip-hop guy.

Update! Added in the techno girl. Since the metal dude is, well, a dude, I decided to add a girl in. It was either her or the hip-hop guy and I thought the hip-hop guy would do better as a black dude. /stereotypes?

>>2724037
Don't even bother, your shit is terrible.

>>2724062
I'm trying. >:|

If nothing else, I can use this as practice. That, and this isn't finalized, more to just get ideas out.

whats happens to deaf people in your world?

>>2717220
Drawfag here...lemme boot up my Tablet Laptop and scribble something out...I'll see what I can't do.

>>2714934
First sketch

>>2724062
Just getting this out there, but not every drawfag is gonna be able to do the exact same thing. Some of us are going to have been drawing for less time and will scoop a chance like this as practice.

So before you just "shit sucks", at least consider that not everyone is top-notch. At least some of us put an honest effort in and aren't spending a few minutes in pain making some crappy stick figures with text labels and horrible bubbles.

So don't always expect the best drawfags to bow to your feet every time and give you just what you want. Be a little more considerate. I know this is 4chan, but even so, this is (in my opinion) one of the better boards. You can offer up a few pointers, too, instead of just "don't bother".

And don't even bother with shit like "baww some more". I don't care. I'm giving you my opinion, and I don't give a shit what you think about it.

>>2724270
More pewpew less QQ dude. Go out and practice, look at art, buy art books(No, not "how to"art books.),learn to draw what you see, you'll improve if you want to. :3

>>2724297
Thanks for the support and advice, but it just gets a bit... disheartening when you get people just saying "shit sucks" and not giving a reason. I dunno if I've picked it up from being an aspiring artist or what, but I've grown to hate people that just bash and don't actually criticize or anything.... It just grates my nerves to see people that can't give a solid reason for not liking something. (Hell, I even do this, there's all sorts of things I don't like for inexplicable reasons)

>>2724306
Don't expect anything constructive from the chans.

>>2724316
Egh.... Yeah. Thanks. I needed that slap to the face I could have given myself.

Drawfag here, gonna start on metal head sketch.

You know, with the vast varieties of music in existence, this could lead to some serious multiclassing opportunities.

Like Neo-Swing (a personal favorite of mine), which takes 40's swing with its big brass sections and adds a dash of guitar and hot piano.

So would a retarded person's sequence sound like Banana Phone on repeat?

Derno if this is what you were expecting. Buuuuuut...

Naturally, many victims of bad remixers end up mentally addled.

Except in this world, all forms of metal music are more likely reclassified as military-grade. Not just as weaponry (like >>2715071), but as augmentations for their armies.

Thrash metal are used as musical stimpacks and as boosters to equipment to the point of overloading the power output.

Power metal are similar, except they speed up both physical and mental processes, letting soldiers attain near-teleportation levels of speed, and their weaponry attain increased accuracy, sight range, and sensors.

Doom metal is excellent for interrogations by breaking down the subjects will, and demoralizing enemies. Soldiers subjected to it tend to be unswervingly loyal, though cheerless and GRIMDARK, complete with a propensity to gothic attire.

Speaking of which Black Metal is still being studied, as it is literally a killing music. Research claims that this is achieved by literally summoning "things" from beyond human understanding, "monsters" that can literally drive the subjects to insanity or death.

While Death Metal cuts out the middleman, and encourages entropy, breaking down targets in a violent fashion, often as gory as possible. It is believed a higher (or rather a Lower) power is involved, but no evidence save the disturbing lyrics can be found for this.

White Metal is an anomaly, since it does the reverse of most Heavy Metal music: some of its effects claim to include actually healing the subjects from injuries and diseases. Research is still pending on its benefits, but what is determined is that a side effect includes the gradual stripping of will, and a illogical belief in a so-called Higher Power.

Seeing this list alone: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_heavy_metal_genres I'd say Heavy metal gets its own splatbook SERIES.

Why the tight security? Too much metal could destroy the user.

Metalheads are the new military fanatics.

(Hi, OP. This is a fun idea. Might gank it myself for fluff.)

Nice flavoring.

A party of vocalists that form an a capella chamber choir or possibly a barbershop quartet would be interesting.

Acme Labs , Star Labs, a merge between many labs.They do research but ask too much for their stuff, you know like selling Viagra.

So what would a caster class be? Most of these buffs seem to be aimed at melee, tanking, sneaking/dodging, or healing.

Lots. See >>2735026 for a possibly specialized path (the Heavy Metal Audiamancer).

Doesn't reggae do that IRL already?
