* ''TabletopGame/MyriadSong'' has Xenharmonics, the local Expy of [[Franchise/StarTrek the Force]], which runs on musical theory. As a result, a lot of the LostTechnology resembles musical instruments, the reason why the setting is CassetteFuturism is because the NeglectfulPrecursors used analog methods for manipulating Xenharmonics and they (and thus the other civilizations on the galaxy) never bothered to upgrade to digital, and finally a lot of the NewSpeak utilized on the rules/setting is musical terminology.

* The ''Rockalypse'' third-party sourcebook for the Fate system outright replaces the usual combat skills and conflict rules with ones for musical showdowns, which are of course the only way to settle matters in any of its several suggested more-or-less postapocalyptic setting outlines -- guns, fists and the like are simply not used.

** Although it's drifted out of focus, the Orks [[http://flyingdebris.deviantart.com/art/ORKZ-51633616?offset=30 have overtones of this]]. In ''Rogue Trader'' times, there were even fully statted out [[FunetikAksent Goffic Rokk band]] miniatures.
** The Noise Marines blast the enemy with deafening noise, a way-beyond-sanity version of this trope. Back in older and funnier editions, they were equipped with electric guitars.
** The Sisters Of Battle have the Exorcist, a rocket-firing artillery platform in the form of a pipe organ, with a Sister driving the tank and a servitor playing the organ and/or launching the missiles.

** Indeed, an epic level bard has at least a 30% chance of secretly being Freddie Mercury.
** At the highest levels, they can kill you with their music. The concept is that they can rock you ''so hard'' that [[SeenItAllSuicide there's nothing left for you to live for]]. So you don't.
** Some prestige classes allow a bard to sing down lightning or fire on their enemies, while another can play loud enough to wake the dead.
