''[[Senshi: The Merchandising]]'' is a parody fan-game for the [[Old World of Darkness]] written by John Biles. It can be read in its entirety at [https://web.archive.org/web/20131103001749/http://www.maison-otaku.net/~rhea/senshi.html the author's website], along with its two supplements, ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131103200826/http://www.maison-otaku.net/~rhea/SW.html Cliquebook: Sailor Warriors]'' and ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131103200801/http://www.maison-otaku.net/~rhea/Arcadia.html Cliquebook: Magical Knights of Arcadia]''.
 
The plot of the game is that, due to the interaction of ''[[Mage: The Ascension (Tabletop Game)|Mage: The Ascension]]'''s consensus reality and the imagination of young anime fans, various 90's90s anime have become real. Children and teenagers who would have otherwise become mages instead become [[Expy|Expys]] of their favorite anime characters, like the [[Sailor Moon|Sailor Scouts]] and the [[Magic Knight Rayearth|Magic Knights]]. [[Hilarity Ensues|Hilarity (and much bloodshed) ensues]].
 
''Dark World -- Moon Light'' was a chronicle set in this game run by GM Chris Angelini, the stories of which have been transcribed and presented as a fictional anime at [https://web.archive.org/web/20161201034834/http://cangelin.mnsi.net/intro.html its associated website.]
 
Compare the similar ''[[Princess: The Hopeful]]'', which plays its [[Magical Girl]]s a bit more straight.
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[Angst]]: Given that the PCs are teenagers, this is required. But not as bad a the angst of the Wraiths, obviously.
* [[MacGuffin]]: The Silver Crystal, [[lampshaded]].
* [[In the Name of the Moon]]: Monologuing is a skill.
* [[Ocular Gushers]]: Crybaby is a merit ''and'' a talent.
* [[Sailor Earth]]: Your player characters, obviously. "Sailor Ooort Cloud" is a potential character.
* [[Parody]]: Oh yeah. Lampshaded.
* [[Splat]]: The Cliquebooks.
* [[Take That]]: Several. For example, past Youma traps have included
**boutiques with life sapping jewelry
**tennis lessons
**working for Microsoft
* [[Transformation Sequence]]
* [[Transformation Is a Free Action]]: But only if you take the Instant Transformation merit. Otherwise, once you begin transforming, any foe who wants to attack you must make a willpower check at difficulty of 10, or just stand there and stare at you, probably because [[Best Known for the Fanservice|you briefly become naked during this process]].
