Monster Rock

Tales of adventurers, treasures and dragons are now a distant memory for the citizens of Paradise City. Those who were enemies are now friends and the world has moved on, even though pockets of magic remain. And there is a new form of entertainment – Rock and Roll!

King Richard, son of Nicholas the Good, has never really liked people. His paranoia has grown worse over the years and he is building an army of robots to subjugate the good citizens of Paradise City. Only the people can stop the mad king, but they need inspiration to do so. You must lead your band, with your revolutionary rock songs and unite the various folks of the city. Only together can you take down the ‘Man’. But beware, the king’s secret police are everywhere and take a dim view of long hair and loud music. Make yourself too obvious and you will end up in a dank dungeon.

Monster Rock is a rollicking game of fun and adventure set in a modern fantasy world. You need to improve your band by playing gigs and writing songs. There are different audiences with varying tastes. The Halflings are simple folk and a popular ditty is all they need to entertain them, while the Elves are far more sophisticated and respect a well-crafted melody. Or you can play to the Undead and crank your amps up to eleven! Your fans become your followers, whom you can then lead in the revolution against King Richard and his robot army.

Monster Rock can be played by up to five music fans, competitively or cooperatively. There is also a solo mode.
