Hellcats and Hockeysticks: A Role-Playing Game of chaos¸ anarchy¸ and decidedly unladylike behavior
A modern-day RPG set in a fictional English boarding school for girls¸ St. Erisian's - complete with magic and weird science. Adventures focus on the girls pulling off schemes¸ plans¸ and capers - inspired by the St. Trinian's series of films. Characters come from one of nine cliques¸ each with its own special ability and selection of skills - Coquette¸ Emo/Goth¸ Exchange Student¸ Fixer¸ Hockey Girl¸ Nerd/Geek¸ Prefect¸ Scientist¸ and Sweetheart. Character creation is point-based¸ selecting a clique¸ spending 5 points on clique skills and 15 points on any skills¸ choosing a Best Friend and Rival from among the other player characters¸ and an optional Personality Trait. Resolution uses a target number dice pool mechanic¸ rolling d6s equal to 1 plus skill¸ where every result of the target number or more is one success. Characters begin with 10 Willpower Points which can be traded in for extra dice. The system has a very nonlethal physical combat system as well as social combat rules. - A description fromdarkshire.netwith kind permission of John H. Kim
