Los Angeles, 1991: A Music Sandbox RPG
Ever wanted to experience 1991's music scene? Whether that be as an artist, a fan, or an MTV show host? In 1991, Los Angeles was a melting pot of musical innovation and cultural shifts. The city was a hub for emerging genres, with the raw energy of punk, the rebellious spirit of grunge, the rhythmic beats of hip hop, and the electrifying power of metal all coexisting in a dynamic and often gritty underground scene. Iconic venues like the Whisky a Go Go and the Roxy Theatre were the epicenters of this musical revolution, hosting legendary performances that would shape the decade. The early 1990s were marked by significant political and social changes. The end of the Cold War brought a sense of global uncertainty, and the United States was grappling with its role in a new world order. The Gulf War in early 1991 highlighted the complexities of international relations, while domestic issues such as economic recession and rising crime rates were at the forefront of public concern The early 90s saw the rise of digital audio workstations, which revolutionized music production. These software-based systems allowed musicians to record, edit, and mix music on personal computers, making high-quality production more accessible. By 1991, CDs had become the dominant format for music distribution, replacing vinyl records and cassette tapes. The superior sound quality and durability of CDs made them a popular choice for both artists and consumers. Choose your story with 50 different class cards! Set your own path in Los Angeles, 1991.

I want to thank user Lokisson for their fantastic sandbox RPGs which are what inspired me to make this one, particularly the 1969 one. Heavily inspired by that one but I wanted to focus mainly on the music scene.
