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.

Blazing Hymn [$15.00]

Blazing Hymn [$15.00]:

Chorus of Devastation

Humanity, it seems, has lived on this planet long enough.

At first, when we called them Angels, we meant it. Their flawless crystalline forms caught the sunlight in dazzling colors, and their radiance set our hearts at ease. These otherworldly creatures didn’t come from any planet we could identify, but we knew the second we set eyes on them that they came from somewhere beyond us.

Then the slaughter began.

Soon, we spat the word “Angel” with a thick, poisonous irony heavy with grief and terror. Their attacks didn’t seem random – in the middle of our largest and proudest cities, they showed their blades and showered the land in their poison. They flashed into existence like exquisite kaleidoscopes, and everyone they touched died. Earth creatures – ourselves included – crumple at their touch, dead in instants.

Where Angels have gone, nothing will live. The air shimmers like an oil-slick in all the colors of the rainbow, and the very grass withers. There is a lingering sound, faint but detectable by sensors, like the ringing of a struck wine-glass.

Now, we call them Angels literally. We know what they are.

They have come from Heaven to massacre us.

We will not let them.

About Blazing Hymn

Inspired by Neon Genesis Evangelion and Senki Zesshou Symphogear, this action-heavy TTRPG takes you to a future where music is humanity's only weapon against the armies of Heaven.

Will yours be a song of pride? Of violence? Of regret?

Build a Hymnal unit, a music-powered anti-Angel battlesuit, and take on missions to protect humanity from destruction. The songs you choose will change how you play, protect you from damage, help you build up power and protect your teammates.

When you sing, you generate Gain, a force used to power your Hymnal unit itself as well as unleash a wide array of flashy moves and daring attacks.

The Blazing Hymn manual includes a sample mission, including a map, and several Angels you can use in your own stories.

About Lumen

Illuminated By Lumen

The Illuminated by Lumen logo

Blazing Hymn is built using the Lumen system, a fast-paced action SRD built by GilaRPGs. It's played with a GM and a small party, ideally 3-4 players.

Conflict resolution involves rolling d6s, and in Blazing Hymn, there will be 3 at most. 

Because the Lumen system is frantic and tactical, a map is recommended so that players can easily see where they are compared to enemies and allies. 

In order to download this game you must purchase it at or above the minimum price of $9 USD. You will get access to the following files:
