All characters are musicians touring in a troubled world. You are expert on a kind of instrument (choose one). Instruments have pros and cons depending on their type
>Complex +extra dice when playing with a band -need batteries/gig must be planned around town's power source (synth, bass, theremin) or is awkward to carry (church organ, drum set)
>Small (harmonica, triangle, tambourine) +is small and easy to carry around without encumbering -dice penalty when playing on your own (no band)
When playing a song, you roll 1d6 + 1d6 if you're expert on the given instrument. Each success (5-6 is a success, 4 is a success at a cost) gives you an Advantage
When playing on a band, each musician rolls and takes his highest die. Each failure cancels a success (because having bad musicians can hamper your gig).
For each advancement you get, you can: -Say how a person on the audience feels. Even after the concert, if that person was present on it -Declare that a general feeling/idea has spread among the townsfolk -Restore the band's HP -Perform a minor magical act (healing, blessing, hex, win the attention of a nearby force) -Everybody is astounded by your sound, they will remember your band long after you go.
It's the premier pre-industrial caterwauling device.

*ffwd to 3:02 to hear him sin and play, it's some dank medieval ballad.
Brayden Adams
Eh.
Knives is a high schooler, Wallace Wells gives advice and let's Pilgrim crash, and Kim is a bitter and jaded observer aware Pilgrim's a horrible person.
I'll give you the rest, though.

You're a classic guy
This is awesome. Medieval synthetisers. Interesting that it shares with many ancient instruments that it produces a Drone monotone as a feat/bug, just like bagpipes, berimbaus, shamisens, etc.
>not carrying a box of vynils across mountains, deserts and jungles, like a the treasures of a lifetime; where analogic devices like vynils and ceramic rolls are the only known recordable devices >not getting into isolated towns and dungeons in the search of maybe a single legendary record >not getting some crazy unstable gear in order to record the songs of scattered tribes into a molded plastic to immortalize it and carry it with you >Not using real life songs as props to convey it >Wars are warred for recovering a rock and roll single >The costs of recording makes each vynil unque, most of them contain secret messages to be carried beyond kingdoms; maybe secret confessions or even spells; historic records or love letters coded into gospel, country and blues
Carter Ward
>not using cassetes instead
Lincoln Rivera
Correct choice.
Nolan Anderson
You realize that magnetic memory of the cassettes degrades in less than 20-30 years?
That's cause the movie cut almost all character development for everyone. The comics manage to make a few more of them into decent-ish people as opposed to horrible ones.

I didnt know about it. I'm learning on wikipedia about ancient recordings, and old gramophone records were made of shellac, which is made from insects (so good news, the setting doesn't need no petrol refineries, and killing hordes of lvl 1 bugs has a real use in this world besides leveling up at the start)
>tfw beattapes are the main music of the land. This is full magical realm
