History TabletopGame / Hol

** Also, Led Pighp, the mascot of the game. He is the only child to have survived [=HoL=] into double-digit years of age. Even with his {{BFG}} and pet wastit, this is BeyondTheImpossible.

* CompositeCharacter: Dredd [=McMahon=], a mix of Ed [=McMahon=] and Franchise/{{Predator}}. It doesn't make much sense in context either.

* EnfantTerrible: Babies. They look like normal ones, but [=HoL=] babies are actually engineered by the Fleshtenders, and can destroy you with their sonic mindwarp.

* PlotArmor: Figuratively, and almost literally. The Dickens Boys were originally collections agents for the imperial library. This being a CrapsackWorld, their job was more dangerous than RealLife repossession agents, so they had to arm themselves. The standard issue body armor they use is called WarAndPeace Armor, and it's the best armor in the game. Why? Because ''NOBODY'' gets through [[DoorStopper War and Peace]].

There have been three editions of ''[=HoL=]''. The original has long sense been out-of-print; White Wolf later picked it up and published for a time it under its adults-only Black Dog label. It is now published by The Cabil.

'''[=HoL=]''', short for "Human Occupied Landfill" is a [[TabletopGames roleplaying game]] originally released in 1994 by Dirt Merchant Games. A {{Satire}} of several famous roleplaying systems, plots, and conventions, including ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', the TabletopGame/OldWorldOfDarkness series by WhiteWolf, and many others, the game was written by two long-time gamers, usually on late nights at a local IHOP, originally as attempt to create their own game based on {{Lobo}} and later to outright make fun of the complicated and often contradictory rules in role-playing games.

Although there are rules for combat, interactions, and using skills using d6s, and the game was play-tested and has been successfully played, the book is mostly meant to be enjoyed as a read and a laugh for RPG fans more than anything else.

* TheSixStats: Averted. ''[=HoL=]'' only uses five. "Meat" roughly corresponds to Strength, "Feets" to Dexterity/Agility, "Mouth" to Charisma, "Greymatta" to Intelligence, and "Nuts" to Courage.

* KillerRabbit: The Wastits, cute little teddy bear-like creatures that suddenly sprout lots and lots of sharp, pointy teeth. Not to be confused with Wastems, which are both harmless and delicious.

* RefugeInVulgarity: Cursing, dark humor, and bloody violence abound, and one of the pre-generated characters is a pedophilic priest.

* LandfillBeyondTheStars: One of the main purposes of [=HoL=].
* PenalColony: The original purpose of [=HoL=].

* Composite Character: Dredd [=McMahon=], a mix of Ed [=McMahon=] and Franchise/{{Predator}}. It doesn't make much sense in context either.

* CriticalFailure: Rolling two ones, or snake-eyes: '''YOU LOSE!'''

** Later played straight in ''Buttery Wholesomeness'', but the Chart of Charts is still limited as it's entirely based on random dice rolls.

--> "Example: Jeff's character, Fizzteeth is trying to tie his shoes. The HM requires a skill role and Jeff rolls snake-eyes. The result: Fizzteeth's head explodes."
