New York City, 1930s.
HELLUVA TOWN is one of the city’s secret neighborhoods,
hidden somewhere between Little Italy and the Bowery. Its
citizens? Actual, living cartoon characters. It’s an oasis of
rubbery, hyper-saturated anarchy where you can be anyone
you choose to be and do anything you choose to do.
THE GAME uses a super simple, quick to pick up card-based
system (Helluva System), which can be learned in FIVE MINUTES.
It was designed for both experienced players and
complete newcomers to a roleplaying game – and to reward
cartoon logic, physics, and folly.
THE WORLDBUILDING is real crazy, and allows you to run,
jump, fly and splat from the forbidden pleasures of Grin
Gardens to the alienating machines of Shocktopia, from
the dark alleys and docks of Jellyfish Junction to the rocky
desert of Moonshine Mesa – where you never know when
you might next plummet into a canyon, ending up in a cloud
of smoke. But most of all, you can PIMP OUT THE SUPER
WEIRD WEAPONS BUILT BY THE SCAM INK CORPORATION.
Everything, of course, set to funky little psychotropic
ditties.
