Electronic Mafia

The 15^th annual Electronic Musicians Convention (EMC) takes place this weekend and all of the prospective musicians have gathered at a major train station in Paris, France to take the Trans-Europe Express to Berlin for the convention. Each artist/band has their own room aboard the lavish and sophisticated train’s interior for the entirety of the journey. Each room has its own bed, television, and there are extravagant buffets awaiting the musicians for each meal every day in the dining cars.

Everyone was looking forward to the voyage and the prospect of yet another meeting to discuss musical matters and to form groups of jamming sessions in one of Berlin’s premiere auditoriums.

Little did they know what awaited them as they boarded the express…

Avant-Garde Mafia

It’s Mafia like you’ve never seen it before: Avant-Garde style. Take everything you knew about Mafia and throw it out the window, but before you do, make sure you shred on a saxophone for 30 minutes first.

There are no civvies. There are no baddies. There are no independent players. There are only recruiters and the unrecruited. The game begins with a large pool of unrecruited players who have no role and recruiters representing different teams. Each team battles for dominance as they try to prove that they are the masters of the art of Avant-Garde by recruiting players and knocking out their opponents.

The roles are Avant-Garde. The rules are Avant-Garde. Your sanity will be tested.

Features appearances by Captain Beefheart, Mike Patton, Fred Frith, and others.

Frank Zappa Mafia

The Central Scrutinizer is back! And he has come to obliterate all traces that Frank Zappa has left in the totality of existence. He plans to accomplish this by eliminating the existence of a storage unit, contained in a fictional 4^th dimension, a location where all of Zappa’s creations run free: Studio Z. He has brought 3 other lackeys with him to do his dirty work, but he’s not the only one planning to try to destroy the impact on music that Zappa has created.  A team of other creations, fronted by the infamous Dental Floss Tycoon, are going to accomplish the same task, blissfully unaware that it was Zappa himself that gave them initial life.

Meanwhile, desperate for other members in his church, the First Church of Appliantology, L. Ron Hoover decides it would be a great time for recruiting…

Only you can keep the spirit of Zappa alive in this tribute Mafia game.
