Demon Child

You have two dice: Demon and Child, and they feud for reign of your soul. Your band of misfits: a twelve year-old-girl, a punk teen, a trans anarchist, (you know the type) accidentally opened a gate to Hell. Now you have to slog through the abode of the damned and back. But beware! As a volatile delinquent, you risk losing your balance between your inner demon and your inner child. Don't give up. Don't give in. DON'T LOSE CONTROL



In this game you

  • risk losing control in order to roll bigger dice
  • undergo demonic transformations
  • spend your resource to unleash high-octane powers
  • tear fiends limb from limb
  • recover your resource
  • then repeat. 

All the rules you need for fast-paced, powerful, EASY combat on one page! Including 3 badass classes, 4 types of bloodthirsty fiends, a handy difficulty chart, and exciting optional rules!

This is my debut tabletop project! I really hope everyone enjoys it ? I wanted to make a game where you could play teenagers with big weapons, glowing eyes, and really cool hair. Where everything was meant to go off the rails.

PLAYLIST

At every step of Demon Child's creation I drew upon music for inspiration. It is at the heart of this project. When I run my games, I start a song at the start of combat, and make sure to finish combat before it loops enough to become annoying.
