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. An oasis of rubbery, hyper-saturated anarchy where you can be anyone you want and do anything you choose.
The game uses a super simple, card-based system (Helluva System) that can be learned in five minutes. It’s designed for both experienced players and complete newcomers—and it rewards cartoon logic, physics, and folly.
This volume combines artbook and manual: it includes all of Shawn Dickinson’s illustrations for Helluva Town plus a guide with adventure hooks and synopses—featuring over seventy-five ideas for loony, ink-saturated games.
Join the chaos for explosive fun times. That’s mad, folks!
