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.

2400: Eos $2.00

2400: Eos: $2.00
Publisher: Pretendo

First contact was only the beginning. We couldn’t agree whether to send soldiers, explorers, or diplomats, so the crew of the Eos 
is expected to be all three. You go wherever Sol Command sends you, but your priorities are clear: Protect humanity unto the ends of the galaxy, make nice with the Council of Worlds, and prove our worth to the interstellar community.

Eos is a super-slim, self-contained, lo-fi sci-fi RPG about human marines fighting for the common good in the galactic community. It's inspired by series like Mass Effect and Star Trek, and built with the same rules as the free 24XX SRD. It's 3 pages and a cover, fitting on two sides of a letter-sized page.

What is 2400? 2400 is lo-fi sci-fi. It’s centuries in the future, and it’s a decades-old modem that screams like a dying robot when it connects to the net. It’s a space ship with an FTL drive, artificial gravity, and a flickering display you gotta tap a few times to see the jump coordinates. It’s hacking something together with whatever cheap materials you have on hand, ignoring the rules until you need them, banging out something that might not sound finished, but definitely sounds fun. It's a series of micro RPGs that might all be in the same setting, unless they aren't.
