Swyvers is a tabletop role-playing game about bastards. You and your gang of criminals scarper through heists and sewers, stalk through the filth of The Smoke and, if you’re lucky, you’ll make it out with a few extra shillings. The whole of this city is your filthy, sickly oyster.
Helluva Town is an outraging tabletop role-playing game in which you play as a 1930s-style cartoon to live crazy adventures, using giant super-pimped weapons made by SCAM Ink., while you escape from the gangsters of the Ducko Family, dream (or fear) the return of the legendary Jimmy Rat, and above all MAKE EVERYTHING EXPLODE. The game system is rules-light and narrative-driven, and is designed to be learned in FIVE MINUTES. Helluva Town is suitable for both hardcore players looking for a light and fun game, as well as for novices or even people without any previous gaming experience. Think of an RPG that mixes Cuphead, the Looney Tunes, and Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network productions with Goodfellas-style gangster movies and smart Who Framed Roger Rabbit?-style comedies, and you’ve only got ten percent of the madness of Helluva Town.
