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.

Heroic Archivist [Free]

It's dark in the print shop.

Great shapes hunch silently in the dimness, engines that churn out pages and weave bindings, still in these pre-dawn hours.

You walk between them, picking your way carefully across the tiled floor until you find what you were looking for.

Drawing a utility blade, you quietly part cardboard from cardboard. A box opens and paper guts are revealed.

You know you have only minutes left to work, so you gather up the loot quickly. Moments later, you're drawing the sigils that will force open a tear in reality, and stepping through them.

As you do, a few pages flutter behind you. Then the portal slaps closed.

Your arms are full of zines.

Heroic Archivist is an rpg that you play by reading, rating, and reviewing other rpgs.

Increase your Archivist Levels, earn Reality Medals, and strive to obtain a Promotional Pan Pizza in your service to the Great Library Of Alexandria.

EDIT: @eldritchmouse has created this really cool gdocs spreadsheet for tracking Archivist Points, legionnaire dice, and elapsed weeks. Simply make a copy of the spreadsheet and you can use it for your own archival progress. Also, if you can, check out eldritchmouse's games here.
