>...Another Bard?

>Players planned to bring an all-bard party to the campaign, idea is that they're a metal band

>Start to pull out new sheets after they've had their giggle

>I stop them

>"Nah man, we're doing this shit."

The resulting campaign lasted only 4 weeks, and ended in several destroyed cities, a lot of dead civilians, and an epic music battle that split the heavens and nearly destroyed the world from sheer METAL.

Best part is, out of the five of us, only one actually listens to metal, so all we were doing was playing Metalocalypse: Pathfinder edition.

>Player 1: The Dwarven Drummer. Bald, big red beard, and played the drums with warhammers. His drums were custom made just so he didn't break them with his hammers. Had something like 6 INT.

>Player 2: Half-Orc Vocalist. Had black hair, no pupil in his left eye, and had a very deep and guttural voice. Think Nathan from Metalocalypse (I actually heard later that Metalocalypse actually was what gave them the idea for the party).

>Player 3: Half-Elf Bass Player. Had really long brown hair that covered his face. Not like that curtain hairdo that covers your eyes, the only part of his face you could see was his nose and ears sticking out from underneath. Had the highest INT in the party, and had a degree in Arcane Studies from the Mage university.

>Player 4: The Human Guitarist. Now, in a party like this, you may think a human would seem kinda plain compared to the others. And normally you'd be right, except for one thing: the human was the craziest motherfucker in the bunch. The others would occasionally do crazy stuff like drink blood from a bat because it was "metal", but this guy? This fucker would rip it's head off, chug the blood, then eat the body and throw the head out for the crowd. The player wasn't edgy, he purposefully made the character edgy because it was, tongue in cheek, "Metal".
