DAISY CHAINSAW
Physical copies available MAY 2024 at Space Penguin Ink
Once upon a time in a normal high school...
DAISY CHAINSAW is a game of magical girls, cosmic threats, and saving the world one episode at a time. Players roleplay as magical girls—teenagers with special powers living a double life. The transformation sequence is the split between a Main Character being a regular person and someone truly magical. The transformation sequence turns them into their magical persona, strong enough to deal with the big bad of the season. What happens to an MC when they transform can easily transfer to their everyday lives, whether that is a permanent scar or the horrifying ordeal of discovery.
If you're familiar with magical girl anime where violence is both question and answer, you will feel right at home in Daisy Chainsaw.

With a handful of six sided dice and another handful of friends, with one acting as the Disaster Master (DM). You pick the weapons your character uses, the spells they can cast, abilities they can use, and start blasting.
I didn't do my math homework, so I don't know how many weapon combinations there are, but when you pick two out of ten weapons, it's probably a lot.

The game is a lot of fun to read and play. Any chance for expansion book about downtime and stuff, Charlotte?
Mm, maybe! But I haven’t really thought about it. I figure people generally know what it’s like to live mostly regular lives
Haha i guess you are right!
I bought a physical copy at a local game store which caused this game to be my back up for a session. Everyone had fun, easy for new players, but just enough crunch for people get into it and have fun. Highly Recomended, also the artwork is phenominal!
thank you!!!
Is there a way to be notified if and when additional community copies are available? Thank you!
I added more now! I forgot to check itch for a few days
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the copy! I will check it out for sure
Is the examble of the 3-length cone right or is it supposed to be backwards
it is correct
Like that pixel art!
thank you!
I am so tired but.. I think its 45 combinations? provided you can't pick the same weapon twice.
You can pick the same weapon twice but ime it’s more fun to not
have to run this soon lets fuckin go
LETS GOOO
Cool game! Congrats for the full version release, Charlotte and team!
thank you!!
Bloody interesting premise! If you are handing out review copies, I would be quite glad to feature it in my Youtube channel. Is there an email where I can contact you?
email me at laskowskichar at gmail
Thanks, email sent!
Fantastic game! Though I have a question on a thing I noticed. The bat's first trait and one of its tier one abilities are the same. Are you meant to choose one of the traits for the weapon and the ability is the way of getting the second?
Oh no! That’s a mistake, thanks for pointing it out! I’ll have an update soon.
the correct ability text is:
Bell Ringer - Harm
Make an attack and if successful, the enemy is Stunned for 1 round.
Okay that makes sense! Like I said you've got a great game here and my partner has been loving every bit of it, hopefully we can play it soon.
Immaculate vibes, spectacular layout and truly exciting design all tied together with some radical prose - This game really has it all!
thank you so much!!
the term disaster master (DM) gives me life. Plan on purchasing a copy when I have the budget for it.
thank you!!
I haven’t played this yet but the premise and visuals alone are so so intriguing. Excited to get into this! 💞✨
thank you so much!!
Hi, I was wondering if you’re planning on finishing the game?
Sorry for the late reply! I am working on a 2.0 with new & refined mechanics right now.
