Hey /tg/, I've been wondering, would a all bard party work? I mean some players would need to multi-class, of course, but still
(Pic Unrelated)
Yes

Only if you do it Like this
My group did this in D&D5e. I'm the DM and we ran a month of one-shot games to break up some monotony and give me time to plan shit. The Bard Campaign went something like this:
>Group started at Level 7 to give them the ability to multiclass but Bard had to be five levels
>End up with BarMonk, BarCeror, BarRogue, BarZard
>Game begins in town called Eyal on one side of a huge crevasse connected by a large bridge
>Begin game with group knowing each other from previous adventures as they're a band
>And getting kicked out of a bar for insulting the bartender
>Run across the bridge after some stealth and magical distraction
>In town of Levi, they hate Eyalish people and welcome the travelers
>Battle of The Bands in town!
>Skill Challenge #1: Be Bards and Perform better than my NPC band Evelyn In Ropes
>Amazing rolls for the party meant they crushed EIR
>Skill Challenge #2: Be Diplomatic and not fight the obviously higher level band after inevitably pissing them off - and they did it again with RP over rolls
>Skill Challenge #3: Be Combatants and fight the equal level band
>Good strategy and uses of Inspiration at clutch moments helped them prevail
>Had to end before the last challenge: a mini-dungeon to get to the last performance against a necromancer with some cool skeleton drummers
Seriously one of the best games I've ever run.

Absolutely if you can multiclass. In 5e you could probably do it without multiclassing, too because of how many ways a Bard can be built. All-Cleric and All-Druid are also surprisngly viable.
It's called playing bardcore mode.
