What was the RPG Pipeline

DIE RPG Open Beta

DIE RPG Open Beta:



The DIE RPG is written by Kieron and allows to make your own version of the first arc of your series, played between two and four sessions.

This release consists of three parts, the two core of which have been released.

The Manual: Everything you need to know to play.
The Handouts: Includes all the character sheets (both full and light) and the material for the Gamesmaster.
The Arcana: weird stuff and supplementary material. Not yet available. Expect around the start of the next arc.

This an early version by a gleeful amateur. It’s about DIE the situation rather than the specifics of DIE. As in, you generate a group of real world people, who then sit down to play a role-playing game, before getting dragged into a fantasy world. Yes, it’s a little Meta. One of the playtesters described it as a manual of how to make your own Kieron Gillen-esque story, which I quite like. There’s a lot of me trying to explain how stories work, and how DIE works specifically. That means I suspect some of it will be interesting to folks who have no interest in RPGs at all. There are also at least three funny jokes.

If folks seem to like it, we’ll be thinking of doing more down the line. There’s certainly a lot of room of areas where we’d like to develop, not least a campaign mode and more about the world of DIE.

If you’ve any thoughts, drop a line to dierpgplaytest@gmail.com.
