What was the RPG Pipeline

The RPG Pipeline was a posting board to keep track of upcoming tabletop rpgs from 2015 to 2021 (this Blogger version began in 2019). It covered new English language ttrpgs and ttrpgs going into crowdfunding.

A Spinner's Tale [$4.50]

A Spinner's Tale [$4.50]:

This is a realistic pre-industrial fabric production simulation game, with light elements of romance.  There are two levels of realism, one of them only for the most dedicated of hardcore gamers.  Only hard mode has been thoroughly playtested. The game mechanics for easy mode require one or more six sided dice (d6s). Hardcore mode requires various other things including the often underused d∞, some of which may be hard to find.  The game takes a minimum of 40 days to play (though only a few minutes a day in easy mode) and is for exactly 2 players. No pre-existing game system is required.

This was made for the Fantasy Realism Jam. All proceeds will be given to the American Association of People with Disabilities (or a similar organization, if I find out there's a different, better place to direct money) until the end of the game jam.

But in addition to that, there are many reasons to buy this.

  • Overly elaborate, simulationist mechanics, completely custom-made for this game!
  • Truly excessive
    amounts of realism!
  • Really captures the feeling of making a simple object before industrialization!
  • Arguably playable as a game!
  • Exciting photographs
    of the game in action!
  • Romance, queer romance encouraged!
  • Really bad puns!
  • Over 5500 words, somehow!
  • Should be accessible! (except for the puns maybe)
  • Combat-free,
    suitable for games set in most regions of the real and not-real world!
  • Do you want to
    borrow plausible sounding dye words from a game for your novel? Buy this
    instead of Breath of the Wild!
