Think of an album. Got one? Good. Your next campaign is set in

Allegaeon-Proponent for Sentience.

The players are a group who is trying to fight back against the quickly and seemingly inevitable conception of AI using a combination of social interactions (and potentially subterfuge) because they see the likely path that AI will lead us down.

Would be fun, Id play it.

David Bowie- Ziggy Stardust

Setting is the World of Darkness in 1972. Players are a group of Hunters who've been investigating the mysterious "Starman" for several years, only for the being to suddenly present itself on-stage and gain thousands of fans overnight.
Intrigue and negotiation to gain help from other Hunter groups and try and infiltrate the circles of the band mostly, but will eventually blow into an enormous riot/battle against True Fey Bowie and his fans (as in the song Ziggy Stardust).

The players are freedom fighters struggling to keep their sector of space free from an alliance that has already unified the rest of the Human Sphere. Over time, it becomes clear that no matter how many ships they destroy, their way of life is dying. The game ends with them defending the one thing they hold sacred and then disappearing into the far reaches of the galaxy. Picture the movie Shane but with more spaceships.

No one was left who could remember how it had happened -- how the world had fallen under darkness -- or at least, no one who could do anything.

No one who could oppose the robots. No one who could challenge their power.

Solarkult

The setting is your average cyberpunk world, the difference being that ritual magic exists but very few people know about it.

The PCs are satanic teknoshamans who must carry out a mission SataN revealed to them during a drug overdose. To this end, they must hijack the wifi system and broadcast the Luxifer meme across the world, which will make those who receive it mutate into monsters, and plunge the world into anarchy. Their goal is to take advantage of the resulting chaos to steal a nuke and trigger a global nuclear war, and to survive it so that they can enslave the remnants of humanity with their psychic powers.


That's pretty much literally what the album is about.

Warband of chosen heroes travels through a magical portal to a mountainous hellscape full of maneaters, would-be heroes gone mad, cysquatches, living forests of birchmen, pterodactyls, and, at the top, a crystal alien skull that can save their world from an ancient curse.

Players would have to survive frigid climates and eke out their existence on the mountain so survival mechanics would be incorporated to account for deathly cold and limited resources.

Setting would be dark fantasy with minimal worldbuilding/storytelling a la Dark Souls. Boss encounters would be themed after certain tracks from Mastodon's collected works.

Journey through the vastness of space in search of the ultimate drug. Characters are citizens of the galactic federation who got sick of the hypertrchnological life of the near planets and their Virtual Insanity, venture out to find this mythical place where they can live in nature and comunne with the universe. Their only clue, notes, drawings and poems from, supposedly, the journal of the legendary Space Cowboy, rumored to be the only one to find the ultimate drug, the Morning Glory, and return to tell the tale. But are the journal, the Cowboy, the planet and the Morning Glory even real? Or are they going on a wild goose chase? Does it even matter, or is the journey more important than the destination?

Also, their ship is bright purple and kinda resembles a Lamborghini.

A matriarchal cult of WhitchyWhitchy White Women seizes control of a small city-state from the shadows and begin waging war on the neighboring nations, rapidly expanding into an Evil Empire, while seeking a suitor worthy of providing the base to their goddess, so Lovers Beware. They've enacted a dense spy network made up of common submissive knaves to heartbeats and brainwaves. They get out of trouble with a cover up, some greasy lawyers, and some lies, and are capable of taking out Washing-ton or New York, and then they'll take out Palestine. Obviously they're going to be using some dark magics to give themselves the edge and to keep their mind slaves under control, playing some real Dirty Ball.

The game is about a group of people working in a very safe corporate setting when everything goes wrong for them. I'm thinking something like Philip K Dick getting shot in the brain by a pink Jesus ray and suddenly realizing that he's living in the Roman Empire. Something goes wrong, either in the mind or in the world, and they're left to navigate a world where the kind of schizophrenic magical thinking actually works. The antagonists would be more or less everyone else at first. Because people who aren't bound into a particular faction or worldview showing up is profoundly disruptive to a world that is like spiders waltzing in a vast network of vibrating wires suspended in 4th dimensional psychic jelly upon which everything real hangs like beads.

The album isn't that crazy though.

Doesn't really matter what historical context the campaign is in, but everything has a disco or motown aesthetic orientation.
The campaign's a murder mystery (go figure), with the case headed by an easily distracted loose-cannon bard. The group gradually finds out they're being framed for a string of crimes, and have to reprimand their past actions as they get closer to finding the culprit.

He is commanded to travel to a desert, where he is given visions that reveal the truth of humanity, and warp his mind further to make him the "Stormrider". After the destruction of the world, he is then damned forever into the depths of Hell, also referenced as the River Styx. After being forever damned and taunted by evil spirits, he eventually sees what he has done, and realizes that it is too late to repent.

I guess it'd kind of be some sort of weird alternate reality where 20th century America still has a large part of it owned by/populated with a large number of Native Americans? And the "Ants" are either White Americans following manifest destiny, or Native Americans invading lands they used to live on? I'm not sure to be honest

"Departure Songs" by We Lost The Sea

Campaign is set in our world, in 1986. The players are the ill-fated crew of space shuttle Challenger. Except they are catapulted into a lucid dream afterlife where they have to learn how humans can survive in space and impart the knowledge to humanity back on Earth.

I've been on-and-off jotting down ideas for a setting based on Judas Priest's "Painkiller" for the last year or so. It's a few campaigns down the line right now, but the gist of it is as follows:

Far-future post apocalypse set in the American Midwest, now primarily a Mad Mad-esque desert. Tech level is set loosely at "medieval", and the landscape incorporates repurposed "modern" tech (a sea-gate made of debris from a sunken city, a ziggurat made from ancient motorhomes stacked and mortared together, etc). Technology is rare and essentially functions as magic. The vibe I'm going for is Mad Max + Conan the Barbarian + Painkiller (of course).

I did some scattered worldbuilding and dug up my (very) barebones map and some of my notes. Go easy on them.

>The Hell Patrol is a squad of post-apocalyptic bikers on working motorcyles
>There will be a city somewhere in the desert made entirely of chrome and populated by automatons; likely sleeping and almost certainly evil
>At some point there will be a cavern that is, in fact, an ancient nuclear launch facility.
>The Painkiller exists, in a way that is ripped straight from the album cover, and needs an excuse to make an appearance
>I have a single note that says nothing but "Enclave of the Techno-wizards". No idea what I was thinking but I love it.

Like, I listen to that album and for some reason I just see PCs strapped with chrome helmets and leathers riding mutant buffalo through the burning deserts of post-America, or battling frog-people in the swamps bordering the Sunken South, or parlaying with a barbarian king sat in his throne atop a pile of rubble in a half-sunken city. I can't say why, but the idea's stuck with me.

>Megadeth--Rust in Peace

Players are Soviet spies during an alternate history Cold War. It's 1990, the environment has gone to shit(Dawn Patrol), we're at 1 minute to midnight(Rust in Peace), and both sides are just waiting for the straw to break the camels's back. Europe is in worse condition than ever, as terrorist attacks plague Berlin on both sides, soldiers are informed to keep weapons trained on enemy soldiers outside of their bunkers, and thousands of nuclear weapons are trained on each side's capitals. The war in Southeast Asia has only expanded over the past 20 years, with Thailand and Vietnam under communist control, while Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar/Burma have become fierce dictatorships killing all communist suspects (Take No Prisoners). A fierce religious distinction has been created as well, as atheists are now pariahs from society due to their association with the godless communists (Holy Wars). They've been sent to the US on suspicions that they have gathered alien technology(Hangar 18). Russian officials are worried that full understanding of this technology would give the US a checkmate in the Cold War, allowing them to either walk all over Russian interests or flat out declare war. They've been given one lead: Area 51, Hangar 18. If they fail, the Communist Bloc, communist Asia, and every country under communist regimes will be subjugated.

And if you want to do the full album you could throw in ghosts and magic and shit for Lucretia and Five Magics then personal issues for Tornado of Souls and Poison Was the Cure

And My Creation doesn't and will never count

This sounds pretty awesome when I think about it. I might run something like this in the future.

Album: Thee Oh Sees - Floating Coffin

Setting: all anyone knows anymore is the war. No one remembers, or cares, how it started. The only way to survive is to revel in the senseless death, the exhilaration and terror if it all. The setting has technology and aesthetics similar to the Vietnam war or cold war conflicts, with an emphasis on infantry and vehicle support rather than artillery and air strikes, although those still exist to some degree. This is a war of bullets and blades, of crawling through mud and blood, of looking into the eyes of your enemy as they die. The sanest people all died long ago, and they were the lucky ones. Now even reality itself is being undone, tearing at the seems from the sheer volume of psychic terror and madness. The dead fight on after they fall, men grow horns as their minds are destroyed.

The setting is modern day; the party is all bards, and are trying to become the greatest rockband ever. Their first - and only - quest is to recover the fabled Pick of Destiny.

Sir I can forgive you being an unabashed musefag but I can't forgive you for picking that album in particular

I did this with The Way of all Flesh by Gojira, which is about the cycles of life and death.

The party was hired to find a lich who they were told had been attacking nearby villages. Eventually they found out he was once accepted in society and was part of the local parliment, but left after many years of failing to enforce his environmental ideals. Eventually they find him abd he's a pretty cool guy, more like an undead druid than a lich, turns out the mayor just had a grudge.

It was a fun campaign, bit of a wild goose chase, but lots of interesting characters. They were lead around by a very mysterious elf who claimed to be the best lich hunter in the country and was basically The Sphinx from Mystery Men with a vaguely European accent and met an old dwarvern historian in what was basically a retirement home for important wizards.

And then there was the crazy pocket universe the lich lived in, which was inspired by the song "Glints Colide" by Meshuggah. I really recommend at least looking up the lyrics for that song, it describes an amazingly unthinkable world.

So is this just going to be straight up in the same setting as the album, or are we going to build our own metal-as-fuck space fantasy in the same spirit? Because we can't get this many people posting the same album in the same thread and not go somewhere with it.

I'd think it would have to been build our own setting, as the album doesn't really give too much to go on before it, and its ending is too conclusive to do anything with.
