CHAINSAW Playtest SCENARIO is Ready!
over 1 year ago
– Sun, Dec 22, 2024 at 01:32:57 PM
The second part to the initial CHAINSAW Playtest is ready to go and on the way to backers. Download link is provided via Backerkit, and as always, if you don't see them or need any help, just reach out and we'll get you sorted!
Just seeing this now and not a backer? Preorder CHAINSAW on Backerkit and get access to the first part of the CHAINSAW Playtest, Character Sheet, and Nightmare Scenario! (Let us know if you don't receive the email and we will send it over to you.)
What should I expect?
THE CULLING is a nightmare scenario written specifically for the CHAINSAW Playtest. Please keep in mind that it has had limited proofreading passes and has not been edited yet. It also has not been extensively playtested, so things might still need some tuning and changes.
Check it out, change it up how you like, and let us know how it goes! We want all the gory details... what you enjoyed and what you didn't.
Discord
And to reiterate from the last update, the best way to communicate with us is on Discord, so I highly recommend you join our growing and ravenous community of horror fans and tabletop nerds below. There are several places on there to talk about the game, ask questions, clarify rules problems, point out errors you might find, and meet some new friends. Join us!
And if you don't already have a group to playtest CHAINSAW with, let us know! We would love to connect you with whatever you are missing and help you have the best time with this.
We'll see you in the Nightmare.

Hello! Just a quick update in tandem with yesterday's... pledge manager is now open!
Feel free to adjust things as you need and add anything you forgot. You have plenty of time before things close, and you will be given adequate heads up when the time comes.
Those of you who missed the original campaign can now get in and preorder whatever they'd like during this window!

I'll keep this one short since there was just an update yesterday, but as always you can reach out anytime with questions or concerns. 🤘🏼

Initial Pledge Manager Surveys Sent!
almost 2 years ago
– Mon, Oct 28, 2024 at 11:44:52 AM
Hello, everyone!
The pledge manager surveys have been sent out to a small number of backers as a test, so if you were one of the recipients, please fill it out when you are able as it helps us make sure everything is working as planned!
If all goes well, we'll be sending out the surveys to everyone else shortly (within 24 hours or so), so if you haven't seen a survey yet, don't worry!
🔜 What's next? 🔪
We are talking rules and mechanics in the next big update (not counting one tomorrow when the pledge manager officially goes live!), and we can't wait to dive into all of this with all of you! We have a lot to unpack, and you'll be right there with us.
If you haven't joined our Discord yet, I'd love to extend the invite. It's growing steadily as more horror fans and gaming enthusiasts file in... and we'd love to have you! Join the discussion today!
Thank you again, and more coming soon! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

CHAINSAW FUNDED... and what's around the corner!
almost 2 years ago
– Fri, Oct 04, 2024 at 05:34:33 PM
Thank you.
That's really all we can say right now. Thank you. CHAINSAW was a fantastic success, and it's all because of you. The campaign has finished with 1,050 backers who have raised over $66,600 in funds. You all are INCREDIBLE.
And yes, that means this horror game has been funded at exactly 666% the original goal, which is mind-blowing for many reasons. The horror gods have smiled upon CHAINSAW this day!
Thank you for believing in CHAINSAW, in it's creators, and in this campaign. From the depths of our abyssal hearts, we are grateful for you. We appreciate you more than you'll ever know for participating in this ritual of creation.
🎈Project Timeline🎈
We took a moment to catch our breath, but now it's time to get to what you've all been waiting for. Below is a living version of our timeline, and it will be updated as the campaign goes onward.
Communication is important to us, and because of that, you can expect regular monthly updates from here throughout the process. This will include gradually deeper glimpses of the campaign's contents, as well as our transparent look at the timeline as it continues to evolve.
-
Playtest Packet – In the next month or two, we'll be revealing our first offering in the form of a playtest packet. This will be enough to get started playing CHAINSAW, and you will be given the opportunity to provide feedback that will shape the development of the game.
- As development continues, all backers will enjoy the first glimpse of the playtest materials, zines, and the rest as they all come together. Others outside this circle will have a chance to playtest eventually, but it will be after the backers have had plenty of time with the material.
-
Printing and Fullfillment – We are aiming to send everything to print around April or May. Fulfillment is planned a few months after that, and the goal is to have everything in your hands in time for spooky season of next year (October 2025).
This timeline is only a work in progress right now, and will become more solid as things progress. If we hit any snags or obstacles, you'll be the first to know.
🔪What can you do to help?🔪
The best way to join the discussion is to hop into our newly renovated Discord server. It's fresh and empty, but the skeleton is there on which our community will be built. That's the best place to get all your questions out about the game and talk about what will be in the book. Join in and let's talk games and horror movies!
I promise we don't bite. (But be careful of masked psychopaths with knives, as always.)
🩸Pledge Manager🩸
The pledge manager will be going live in the next week or two... just getting everything ironed out and ready to go. Once it is live, you'll be able to finalize your pledges, add anything you forgot, and get your shipping information ready to go.
🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪
Before we go, we think you definitely need to see this.
Creature Curation's Vast Grimm is coming to an expandable card game and Brian Colin sent us some preview decks to check out. Let me tell you... it looks awesome. Please, go check out the prelaunch page on Kickstarter, check out the gameplay video, and hit the NOTIFY button so you'll know when it goes live.
For $1 now you get a Astro Zombie d2 coin added to your pledge for free! I mean just check this thing out! Plus, if you pledge in the first 48 hours you get an exclusive foil card! Head over to the campaign page today and take a look... you seriously don't want to miss out on this one.

THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you again for your support. Every pledge and every share has helped propel this campaign to where it is today, and we can't wait to show you what's next. We are so honored to have you along with us on this journey.
We'll see you again shortly in the next update. Until then, join us on discord and keep the conversation going!
