Major Malfunction #1 for HOT CHICKS: The RPG
by David K T. J. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 12/10/2008 07:16:23

After reading this, and then using it as an adventure, I found this to be a great supplement. The detail is enough that the gm gets enough of a feel to create a adventure, but not enough detail to be over complicated. This supplement does not contain any maps of lairs, or details of minions. The gm gets information on the main antagonist, and a couple of victims. There is enough of a back story with the antagonist, that the gm and players get a feel for the character, and just how insane he is.

One thing that I think could be better, is maybe a couple of adventure seeds that help the novice gm intro this adventure.

Over all this is a good adventure to use on a party, and it sets up for a long-term conflict, if the gm wants to use the main antagonist as a long-term party advisary.

Bios Ex Nihilum for HOT CHICKS: The RPG
by David K T. J. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 11/26/2008 10:04:30

This supplement was very well written, and provides alot of material that is useful for a Hot Chicks game. I found this book slightly more useful, then the Heronet, but not much. It was very easy to incorporate this material into a ongoing Hot Chicks game, and my players loved the additional options this book provided.

HERONET for Hot Chicks: The RPG
by David K T. J. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 11/26/2008 10:00:43

This supplement is one of the supplements that I use the most. I found it very informative, and provides many options for both the gm and players. This is one of the must have supplements for both players and gm.

Inner Darkness for HOT CHICKS: The RPG
by David K T. J. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 11/26/2008 09:31:21

Interesting book. What I found interesting was that the author left enough space for the gm to get as creative as he, or she, would like. Are there other products more complete then this. Yes, but the good point is that the game designers have allowed for the players to take this material as far as they want.

HOT CHICKS: The Roleplaying Game
by David K T. J. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 11/26/2008 09:28:02

Great game. Placing the artwork behind and just looking at the material. The game was easy to understand, and enough to warrant me introducing it to my regular group. What I like the most about this game is the character creation. This game allows you to create the character you want and not be locked into a set definition of what someone should be.

Bios Ex Nihilum for HOT CHICKS: The RPG
by Francis G. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 10/20/2008 05:42:38

Bios Ex Nihilum is a 107 page supplement for the Hot Chicks RPG. It is lavishly illustrated in the usual Hot Chicks style of computer (Poser) art as well as littered with black and white illustrations.

As its name suggests, the book is concerned with creating artificial life forms, whether as PC or NPC creations or simply as PCs themselves. In 2015 technology is much more advanced than today and the ability to create life (biological, magical or technological) is present, as is a complete lack of ethical or moral structure to govern this. You're created, you're property. Get used to it or do something about it.

The first few chapters of the book deal with the details of creating artificial life - either as a player character or as an NPC. This comes complete with simple rules and costs for life creation as well as tables for mutations and errors should something not go according to plan. There is a new system for character generation where you buy the characteristics that you desire rather than roll them as you have been created with specifications in mind. Nothing is perfect though, and failing too many rolls will result in creatures that might look how you wanted them, but mentally they function very differently... Think "Fatal Attraction" crossed with "Psycho". There are new merits and flaws and the rules here work in the same manner as the original rule book, so the system seems well balanced. Included in these sections are the additional equipment (and Field guide to monsters!) that are needed to make artificial life, as well as additional spells and cyberware (mainly for keeping cyborgs under control).

After this comes a whopping fifty pages of NPC and creature examples of all types illustrating what can be created and what can go wrong. If you're looking for a sex toy, clone, rogue simulant, undead cyber zombie or just a basic mechanoid you'll find them here amongst many others.

Finally the book ends with a gamesmaster section with notes on how the basic organisations view and deal with artificial life, some new organisations that deal mainly with new life and some further adventure ideas.

If you're looking to expand your Hot Chicks game with artificial life of any kind, then this is the book for you. If you simply want a wealth of new NPCs, you won't go far wrong either.

The Hot Chicks 2008 Calendar
by Jeff R. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 10/10/2008 06:36:03

It's a calendar of computer-generated Hot Chick cartoon-ish pics, and it is free. It probably won't win any awards (but hey, if Tracey Emin's garbage - literally! - can fool the art critics, why not this?) but I think it is definitely worth the money. Actually, I think it is worth the time and effort it took to download, too.

Not as good as a Playboy calendar, but nowhere near as expensive either. You could do a lot worse than this.

Stuff To Beat Up 1: Tech Terrors
by David R. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 09/10/2008 15:55:36

The Vorgs and Greygores have simplistic poses like they are modeling clothes, instead of battle action poses. I thought the colors were muddy. These figures are not bad, but I found them uninspiring.

HOT CHICKS: The Roleplaying Game
by Shane O. [Featured Reviewer] Date Added: 07/31/2008 15:30:33

There’s always been a wish-fulfillment aspect to role-playing games. Whether it’s playing a character that’s as strong as we wish we were, or amassing an ungodly amount of wealth, it can’t be helped that sometimes we bend our favorite RPGs to fantasize about getting what we want. Of course, sometimes the game in question unabashedly tries to appeal to those desires. Enter Hot Chicks: The Role-Playing Game. Guess which desire this RPG appeals to.

The PDF of Hot Chicks the RPG is moderately-sized, being not quite a dozen megabytes. This is very compact considering that the book is over four hundred-fifty pages long. There’s a full table of contents, which does not have hyperlinks, but the bookmarks are extremely thorough in what they cover.

It almost goes without saying that Hot Chicks the RPG is pretty heavy on illustrations. The majority of these are fully-rendered 3-D CGI pictures, which are of course in full color. Similarly, there are also a number of illustrations in black and white that aren’t CGI, rounding things out. Pages are surrounded on each side with a blue line that acts as a border, broken only by pages numbers at the bottom. There’s no printer-friendly option here, which is discouraging. For a book this long, with as much illustrations as it has, it really needs some method to make printing it out more viable.

The Hot Chicks RPG uses the new Inverted 20 system. Just to be clear, while there’s obvious a d20 System influence here, the Inverted 20 rules are their own, and not a variant of that more ubiquitous set of mechanics. As you may have guessed, the Inverted 20 rules are based around the idea that on a d20 roll, a 1 is the best result you can achieve, and a 20 is the worst. Built around that, the rest of the game’s mechanics are actually fairly simple. Characters have six stats, whose numerical ranges run from 1 to 10, with several derived statistics based on that. Characters also have merits, flaws, and skills (including special skills, which are what let your character do fantastic things). Later in the book, there are myriad chapters and appendices for all sorts of things characters can have and do, from huge equipment lists to magic, psionics, and super powers (among others). There are even rules to modify existing things, or even create your own. Over the course of four hundred-fifty pages, the RPG takes care to cover almost everything you could think of for a character.

So what’s the story for this game? Well, in the very near future, the Earth is pretty well screwed. Corruption is everywhere. And space aliens are stepping up their covert attacks on our planet. And demons are working to open massive gates to Hell. And in a lot of instances, the corrupt humans, aliens, and demons are working together. Humanity is about to get seriously @#$%ed, and for different reasons the hot chicks of the world are going to get the first and the worst of it. Hence, this is a world that needs heroes, and needs them pretty badly. This isn’t all of the story of course, and the book presents quite a bit of backstory, as well as related fluff elements (such as various organizations that are major players in the world today), but that summarizes the basics of where PCs will find themselves.

The tone of the Hot Chicks RPG book is one that fluctuates as you read through it. In some places, the book doesn’t seem to take itself too seriously, like describing the rules for just how dead you can be if things don’t go your way in combat (complete with jokes for characters that end up Dead as Hell). In other places, it takes itself and the world it presents very seriously, such as with the opening fiction that’s present in several chapters, which borders on being quite dark. Moreover, the game doesn’t seem to be quite certain of how much it wants to play-up the “sexy” aspect of itself; there’s no real erotic content to the mechanics of the game, but several parts of it seem to be leaning that way (the first merit listed, for example, is called “A Whore in the Bedroom”), and the writing flirts with a sexual undertone in several places, never quite coming out and saying how important sex is or isn’t in a Hot Chicks game (presumably to leave it up to the players). In fact, there’s little here (illustrations notwithstanding) that’d prevent you from simply throwing out the “hot chicks” theme altogether, and just using this RPG to run a “super-modern” game if you wanted.

Altogether, the Hot Chicks RPG presents itself very well. The book is substantive, yet stylish, presenting a wealth of options, a relatively thin-but-functional story, and a very generous amount of artwork. However, the book’s theme feels a tad bit wishy-washy; it wants to be an action/adventure RPG with sex appeal, but isn’t sure how much. Moreover, between that and the lack of a printer-friendly version (which I consider to be significant in a product this long with this much art), and the book is imperfect. Of course, it hits much more than it misses, with a set of mechanics that are simple but still solid. If you’re looking for something new, but feels familiar, check out the Hot Chicks RPG.

The Hot Chicks 2008 Calendar
by andrew t. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 07/08/2008 08:19:40

I thought the 'chicks' were rather lackluster. It's a calendar, it's free, so it's not all bad. They are just the stereotypical modeled cgi women who are nowhere close to porportional, which is probably why I wasn't impressed.

HOT CHICKS: The Roleplaying Game
by Francis G. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 07/04/2008 18:07:55

This PDF was a very unexpected pleasure, I'm not sure what I was expecting from a game entitled "Hot Chicks" but the saying "don't judge a book by its cover" has never been more applicable than here. Despite the title, this is not necessarily a game about hot chicks (although you can play them), instead the setting is quite dark where humanity is mere cattle for demons, aliens and corporations and it your job to try and stem the flow of darkness.

The book is a hefty tome at 454 pages with lavish artwork running through it. The book is complete with background, character generation, magic, psionics, cyberware, super powers, vehicle rules, equipment, and a lot lot more. Everything you need is there, and then some. The authors have obviously thought about what might be needed and then covered their backs by including a lot more. Extensive appendices round out the book giving references, tables and more.

The game system itself is the Inverted Twenty System which despite the name is not another d20 clone - there are no levels here! Instead the idea is to roll low on the d20 to succeed, usually using your characteristic + skill as the base target number to roll under. Combat is based on "shrugs", not hit points; if you're hit you make a Damage Resistance roll using the damage of the weapon as a modifier, and if that fails (as it invariably will) you take "shrugs" as damage, the amount based on the damage of the weapon and the characters damage resistance. As an average NPC has 3 shrugs, combat can be over quickly. The system itself is also quick and simple to run, something ideally suited for an action-horror game such as this.

If you're looking for a modern/future game then this game stands up well in the crowd covering the genre very completely. The fact that it has hot chicks as well is just a bonus!

I guess I'm glad I bought this. I have all the miniature products from Dakkar and I seem to be a faithful purchaser of suggestive titles. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this game is considerably more than a MWWG rip. The designers have put a lot of thought and work into the product and it actually stands up well in the modern fantasy/techno/horror genre. I look forward to creating my first character and trying out a small scenario.

Hot Chicks Character Sketches 4: Action Chick
by Shane O. [Featured Reviewer] Date Added: 03/28/2008 15:49:33

Hot Chicks Character Sketches 4: Action Chick is a series of character images from Dakkar Unlimited. This one follows the previous entries in the series by showcasing a character from their original Hot Chicks stands/art book in a series of new poses. The PDF is twenty-two pages long, with a page for the cover, and a page of advertisements at the end. All of the other pages are of the character.

The book contains twenty pieces of artwork, each of Action Chick (an African woman with a fondness for tight, skimpy clothes). The artwork is all done in full color CGI, and takes up the full page. There are no backgrounds, excepting a picture where she’s sitting on a chair, and another where she’s strapped to a nasty looking torture/execution device. In several pictures her clothes are different, being in casual wear, swimwear, and lingerie, among one or two other outfits. It’s worth mentioning that although there’s no real nudity here, several of Action Chick’s outfits are so tight that her breasts might as well be on full display.

Overall, the pictures here weren’t bad (particularly for being CGI, which I think presents a greater challenge in terms of making characters look engaging), but I can’t help but feel like more could be done. Some more backgrounds would have been helpful – I can understand the rationale for not doing them; the focus is supposed to be on the character, and backgrounds could throw off the context of how you’d want a picture of her displayed – but the white space in most of the pictures doesn’t help either. I think adding a layer of detail in terms of putting her in settings, rather than a white limbo, would be more of a gain than a loss. My other complaint was that her outfits didn’t vary too terribly much. With twenty different pictures of the same character, there’s a wide range of opportunities to go nuts in terms of how she’s depicted, but that range wasn’t tapped here. She could have been shown, for example, in a high-fantasy outfit, or a suit of powered armor, or a business suit, or anything else in between. Instead, she seems to be cycling through swimsuits and underwear. More could have been done here.

Hot Chicks Character Sketches 4: Action Chick isn’t a bad product by any means, but it didn’t go as far as it could have. Hopefully, further pieces in the series will do more with their characters.

Hot Chicks Character Sketches 2: Girl Next Door 1
by Richard C. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 03/14/2008 01:41:27

Very beautiful graphics that seem to have no practical use. I can think of no use of these photos other than either admiring the work of the artist (who is very talented) or as a subject of lust ot affirmation of the ideal woman. I do use woman characters in my games, but I was surprised to find out that these "graphics" were meant as visual aoids for a role-playing. The high-quality of the scanning gives the file most of the value. Other than that, I am curious about this set of artwork. I highly recommend them if you have trouble visualising the things that make a female much different figure than the typical human male.

By the way, why aren't there any "hot male Sketches?" I could not recommend these images enough for their quality and usefulness. For the price, this product is a steal.
