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.

Monsters & Counselors [Free]

Monsters & Counselors [Free]:

YA4H1Z.png

Written for the One-Page RPG Jam 2021!

YOU ARE THE COUNSELORS OF CAMP BRITTLE BONE. Your jobs are to teach, guide, and care for the kids who attend. More importantly, you protect them against any and all mischief they may get themselves into. Camp Leader Murie has disappeared and without their guidance, you are left to uphold the mission of Camp Brittle Bone, and the safety of the kids who will stop at nothing to find new dangers and ways to injure or kill themselves. With Murie’s disappearance you feel something sinister is lurking at Camp Brittle Bone…

Keeping in line with my favorite theme, Monsters & Counselors adapts John Harper's Lasers and Feelings into a monster and mystery RPG where you take on the role of trusted guidance counselors who need to keep the kids alive as they get themselves into danger around camp while also dealing with the real monster lurking in the shadows!

This hack also adds a shifting stat mechanic:

If your character fails (rolls 0 dice successfully) at being a COUNSELOR (acting caring, thoughtful, intelligent and planning. Performing selfless actions or putting yourself in harms way to protect others) their stat increases to be more of a MONSTER (acting harmfully, argumentative, impulsive and combat. Selfish actions or putting kids in harms way.) and vice versa.

As an example, if your character continually fails at comforting a kid, or making detailed plans, they'll become more argumentative, impulsive and combative. On the opposite side, if they continually fail at fighting or intimidation, they'll become more focused on planning and working through problems more cooperatively.
