New in October: Daisy Chainsaw by Charlotte Laskowski via @spacepenguinink.bsky.social
⚔️
A multiplayer magical girl game with video game-inspired layout, grid-based tactics, and plenty of colorful pixel art. Assemble your team, grab some d6s, and battle the forces of evil (when you're not in school)

The cover of Daisy Chainsaw by Charlotte Laskowski. The book itself is spiral-bound. Pixelated, 8-bit style art and bubble font with blacklight-colored art (blue, pink, teal). A magical girl attacks a monster with a chainsaw, causing a theatrically dramatic spray of blood

An example from the interior of Daisy Chainsaw. The book itself is spiral bound and lays totally flat while open. On the lefthand page, the stats for a Chainsaw character, including Heart, Power, Traits, and Quirks. An illustration shows a pink-haired, pig-tailed girl in a fluffy green dress. She's wielding a bloody chainsaw. On the righthand page, more character stats, including powers at Tier One like Charge, Daisy Chainsaw, Firesaw, Look At Me, and Shredder

Exeunt Press 💀 @exeunt.press · 5d

No idea what the difference is between an ISBN, CIP, and a MARC record? Want your game (or book) in libraries? Not sure where to start?

This can help: www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/game-catal...

Fay Thompson, Author/Artist @faythompsonauthor.bsky.social · Jul 9

If you are self publishing you may also pay or apply for:

* ISBN number from Bowker
* PCN (CIP) through the Pre Pub Book Link at LoC
This requires you to ship a published copy after publication is complete.

Getting into the CIP is important.

Day 4 - Howl

“Scroll of the Cù-sith”
#mörktober #scots

“Scroll of the Cú-Sith”

Text on the left hand side reads in Scots

“In forests daurk and deep, it's afttimes best to hearken weel and haud yer weesht

Tak tent and haud yer wits aboot you, for if it blaws at saur fairy wind

ye ken he's comin for you, and if ye hark at awful gowlin tak leg away fraet.

Whan ye hark the seicont gowl ensure yer gaun hame, for if you hark that feenal gowl yer shuirly hame-gaun.”

Below that is the rules text
“When you successfully cast this Scroll you gain one Howl counter.
If you fail your Presence check to cast this scroll you will be stunned for 1d3 rounds”

Top right is an image of an antique scroll with bone rollers. Upon the scroll is a wolf howling.

Below the scroll is the rules text
“All creatures within 3o feet of you must make a DR
1o Presence check. On a failure they lose idz health and are stunned for 1 round
Expend 3 Howl counters when casting this scroll, All creatures within 30 feet of you must make a DR 14 Presence check. On a Failure they lose 4d6 health and are stunned for 1d3 rounds.

If you have 3 counters and do not expend them before a rest, The scroll immediately casts this spell as if you expended 3
Howl counters.”

Translation for the above. Forgot to add it initially!

“From cowardly thief to smooth talking hawker

None are lacking a knife, dagger or razor

But chief amongst all manner of blades, is the small sly silver devil

For the last thing expected is a knife in your sock”

nemysisrelapse @nemysisrelapse.bsky.social · 18d

Day 3 - Dagger

“Sgian-Dubh”

Really getting into the groove of things. Once again another Scots description #mörktober #scots

Sgian-Dubh top left.

Below the title is the following text “Frae hen-hertit sneckdrawer tae sleek-gabbit troker, nane are wantin a braig, beetock nor chib. But heidmost amang aw manner o blade is the slee wee siller deil. For the last hing expectit is a knife in your sock”

In the middle of the page is a Scottish sgian-dubh with a shield emblem in the centre. Inside the shield emblem is the text d4+1 with the text “damage” next to it

Top right of the page is a d6 table titled “(1d6) where is your sgian-dubh”

1. Your Sock
2. Your Armpit
3. Your Underwear
4. Your Shoe
5. Your Thigh
6. On an Ally

Bottom right of the page is the text “Special”
And underneath is the following text “When you fail a defence roll, roll 1d4. On a 4 you may immediately make one attack roll using the Sgian-Dubh”

Day 3: Daggers
#MÖRKTOBER

A playing card with a damaged bouncing knife in it. Its background madly repeats the word STAB. The text reads:
3) HOPPER
A tinsmith was visited one night by a mischievous fairy, who granted life to a. very naughty dagger.
d4 Knife 20s
Special When not held, the dagger will slowly hop away in search of the closest creature to stab.

#MÖRKTOBER - Day 2

12. The Maw

Seared upon your flesh with a copper brand by the blood-starved troglodytes who held you. Even a brush of cloth is enough to flood your mind with flashes of the horrors you endured, and of the desperate escape you made.

Day 2 - Maw.

I wrote a little description in Scots for ‘The Maw’. A mother of spiders. Once again unsure of what I’m doing. Pardon my rusty Scots #Mörktober #Scots

The Maw. A spiders pincers covers the top left of the image.

Scots fills the top right of the page “O aw the wickit hings nae mair a ill-deedy unbeast thare’s ‘an her. Mammie tae aw sort a oagin beast. Mither crimson, dame o the Yerl o Hell. The Maw o aw ‘at clammers an claws wean frae breest”

The bottom left of the image contains all the stats for the creature

“HP: 12 | MORALE 10 | HARDENED CHITIN - D4 | SHARPENED PINCERS D4
The Maw calls forth her ill brood. Each round roll ido on any result lower than a 4 summon 1d4 Spider-like beasts.

Desire - Wishes for nothing more than to spread her brood. Shall seek for a host for her next brood to feast upon

Lair - The Forgotten places on the outskirts of villages

Loot - Maws Tooth”

On the bottom right is the image of a spider woman holding a dagger. A white halo surrounds her head
