That’s right. David Hasselhoff comes to the paper-and-pencil world. Babewatch is a free RPG from Simon Washbourne, who writes that Babewatch is:
The sun, sea, sand and sex role-playing game
This is the fun role-playing game of beach babes and lifesaving hunks posing and playing their way through improbable adventures on the golden sands of Malibu or Hawaii.
As if I need mention, this role-playing game is inspired by the tv series of a similar name.
It is a tongue-in-cheek game and can be fun for those nights when you want to play, but have limited time or simply want to have a laugh.
Character generation takes minutes, the rules are are as simple as the tv series plots and there are 17 episode ideas in the rulebook!
Miniature Wargaming is part of the "adventure games" hobby, which includes r ole p laying and board games. Wargamers recreate battles on the tabletop with toy soldiers, like a more complicated game of chess. Models range in height from 6mm to 28mm tall, with 15mm and 25mm being the most popular. There also is a growing interest in toy soldiers and military models, such as the 1/32 and 1/35 scale plastic soldiers from Conte, and Marx.
The most popular miniature wargames are fantasy and science fiction based, such as Warhammer, Warhammer 40K, Warmachine and The Lord of the Rings. World War II games such as Flames of War and Axis and Allies are new favorites. Other favorite historical periods include Napoleonics, the American Civil War, and ancients, such as Romans or Greeks. Other gamers enjoy miniature naval wargames, recreating battles like Trafalgar, Jutland and the Coral Sea.
Hobbyists research historical periods and paint their tiny soldiers in accurate uniforms. Others develop "historically realistic" rules sets or build scale battlefield terrain using model railroad techniques.
