Magical Girl RPG

Rules for a (unfinished) Magical Girl RPG



  • Everyone is a person in this world.
  • You can choose to either start at a higher level or start as a normal person.
  • Starting at a higher level means that you have made your wish and those consequences are at a stage.
  • Starting as a normal person means you have to make a wish in order to get your magical powers.
  • Magic works using 2d6.
  • Name the spell, describe it and give your intended effect. Roll 2d6. On an 8+, choose 3. On a 6-7 choose 2.
    • There is very little blow-back
    • It has roughly the intended effect
    • Nothing unbelievably weird happens
    • There is no damage to your memory
  • There is no HP, health is measured in successes and failures. Tougher creatures require a higher degree of success.
  • Witches are the only enemy. They can arrive at any time and are limited only by the DM's imagination.
  • All Magical Girls become Witches when they die. Their health is equal to the amount of successes they rolled (or maybe the amount of Witches they killed). 
  • Everyone has 1 health, which means one success is enough to kill them.
  • Only Magical Girls (and Witches) can have more than 1 health.
  • When becoming a Magical Girl, the player gets a wish. There are no limits, only consequences.
  • Upon the granting of this wish, the Magical Girl rolls for a random super power/special weapon.
  • A Magical Girl's body is immortal as long as her Soul Gem is intact.
  • A Soul Gem cracks and shatters after its "health" is removed.
  • Removal of a Soul Gem from a Magical Girl renders the Magical Girl's body lifeless. 
  • Defeating Witches is the only way for a Magical Girl to grow stronger.
    • Each defeated Witch grants the Magical Girl 1 additional health.
  • Damage is dealt by Witches but also by over-extending.
    • When unbelievably weird things happen you can take damage, same with blow-back from a spell, or damage to your memory

  • This game is meant to be quick and brutal. Magical Girls will be cycled through with little effort.
