Helluva Town - Kickstarter Campaign Preview

This is a paid Kickstarter preview for Helluva Town. Check out the campaign at: www.kickstarter.com/projects/...
WHAT IS HELLUVA TOWN?
New York, 1930s. Helluva Town is a neighborhood were only cartoons live, an oasis of gummy, full-color 4K anarchy where you can be whoever you'd like and do whatever you want to do. Come, have fun, set everything on fire!
HELLUVA TOWN is a rulebook around 80-pages long, insanely illustrated and enriched with customized layouts by Shawn Dickinson, and has everything you need to get lost in this neighborhood that never stops exploding:
A quick-to-learn rules-light system based on poker cards (Helluva System) which can be learned in less than five minutes and which encourages lysergic madness
Pregenerated iconic characters as well as the ability to create new uncontrollable Toons in just a few minutes
▪ A customized deck of poker cards
▪ A map and an extensive description of the entire neighborhood with its lush avenues and its treacherous streets
▪ An incredibly lush artbook by Shawn Dickinson featuring game art, exclusive additional art, and enriched with adventure ideas and prompts; you cannot go without it!
▪ Stickers and pins
▪ A screen to hide your dirty dealings
▪ An incredibly cool T-shirt
▪ More madness
WHAT IS KICKSTARTER?
Kickstarter is a crowdfunding platform that allows creators and companies to raise funding for new and innovative products and ideas. You are not charged for your pledge if the project fails to meet its funding goal. Note that Kickstarter is not a store-you are investing in the development of a product, and that comes with risks of failure.
GALLANT GOBLIN KICKSTARTER REVIEW POLICY
Due to the aforementioned risks of Kickstarter, The Gallant Goblin screens all Kickstarter projects prior to reviewing them on our channel. This applies to both general reviews and reviews sponsored by the company running the Kickstarter. We only review Kickstarters that meet our criteria of:
1) creating a product we believe is of interest to our community
2) being a project from either a company with a good Kickstarter track record or that promises a product that looks to have a low risk of failure
The video was paid for by the creators of the Kickstarter project, but the Gallant Goblin retained editorial control. The video was screened by the creators for factual errors before being released.

Reminds me of this crazy 'Roger Rabbit'-esque Brad Pitt movie I watched, Cool World. It was bonkers in an "I can't believe this happening" sort of way.

[@TheGallantGoblin]

Yup! Cool World was an inspiration for this game as well!

The art is what drew me to the project, but I have to say… I’m pretty disappointed. They had a limited pledge that was gone before a lot of us had a chance to even see it (with no warning of when the kickstarter would drop).
That was the only option they had to pick up both of the books without a ton of extras. Wish they tried to make the campaign more accessable to those who don’t have a lot of free cash and just want to buy the books.

[@TheGallantGoblin]

Oh no! Well, I highly encourage you to let them know in the comments section. Kickstarters like this frequently change course based on feedback, so let them know what you'd like to see available and why, and if enough people rally together, hopefully they can accommodate you!
