Be a pimp!

Post by workinwifdakids »

I went to meet some out-of-state friends who were in town for Comic-Con (the International Comic Convention). They brought a card game we played that's based on dice-rolling RPGs, and the game is called "Pimp: The Backhanding" (link perhaps NSFW). From the web site:
Now you can experience the dizzying highs and soul-bending lows of exploiting women, pushing drugs and dodging undercover cops. Will you become a Mack Daddy, leasing out high-priced call girls to discriminating clientele, or a lowly fishmonger making a sticky bankroll off the diseased crackwhores you’ve gotten hooked? Or will they find your unconscious body pistolwhipped into submission, lying in a storm drain?

There’s only one way to fulfill your destiny. Play Pimp: The Backhanding!
I know, I know - the new ghetto adoption of the word 'pimp' makes me want to backhand someone myself. But this game is a hysterical caricature of every comedy stereotype of every Hollywood pimp ever. Just like the obscenely inappropriate but awesomely fun PC freeware game Drug Lord, I'm sure this game's popularity demonstrates some deep symptoms of cultural decay. On the other hand, if you like South Park, or have a dark sense of humor and a dirty mind, this game is awesome!
And may I say, from a moral point of view, I think there can be no justification for shoving snack cakes up your action.

I haven't seen a refence to P:tB for a few years now. Is it compatible with the new WoD system?
