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.

Fuck Adobe RPG [Free]

Fuck Adobe RPG [Free]:

Notice, how many of the #FuckAdobe Jam submissions contain PDFs? It turns out, that Adobe still holds PDF patents, they just "generously" allow other software dealing with PDFs to exist. Well, fuck them and fuck ISO 32000. "Fuck Adobe RPG" is written in Texinfo and rendered to glorious DVI. It should only reference the Computer Modern Fonts, that ship with TeX.

"Fuck Adobe RPG" is written in a way that every player will through its mechanics be encouraged to at least once during gameplay loudly yell "Fuck Adobe". Whether they will actually manage to fuck them, is another question.

Since DVI does not support font embedding, it might be difficult to view this document without a working TeX installation. To aid those in lack of one, the pages have also been rendered to PNG and SVG. An info file is also available for all you nerds reading manuals on your computer. If you are in any way affiliated with Adobe (or simply enjoy paying money to dubious entities for virtually no profit), you may also purchase the PDF.

Also fuck Google Fonts for still not listing Computer Modern after almost five years.
