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.

Vigilant Player's Guide [Free]

Vigilant Player's Guide [Free]:

A brutal fantasy ttrpg with deep tactical combat and open-ended character progression! Easy to pick up and jump in a game, but challenging to even consider mastering, Vigilant provides a unique tabletop experience for veteran role-players, combat junkies, and newcomers alike.

Vigilant is a game built for players who like having thousands of options and choices at any given time within the system. With countless viable ways to approach encounters as both the player and GM, Vigilant ensures that your adventurers will always face new and exciting challenges, and that even identical characters can have vastly different play experiences. Of course, this is all wrapped up neatly in a tight system that has had all the fat mercilessly stripped from it by our expert rules-butchers, so you can get right down to pounding goblins into the cold hard stone of the dungeon floor. 

Play as a hulking bipedal catfish that can headbutt their way through a wall, a manic investigator whose very presence puts others on edge, a deranged healer who derives their power from alien gods, a wild sorcerer constantly at risk of having their head explode, or thousands of other combinations of archetypes, races, and perks! Vigilant puts the tools in your hands to create wild and spicy characters... or a classic edgy rogue with no friends! 

Included in the 188-page Player's Guide is:

- Character creation rules and progression across 4 unique archetypes and 16  progression trees that can be freely swapped between. 

- Full combat rules

- Equipment to kit out your adventurers

- Spellcasting, spells, and some horrifying miscast tables

- All the other nonsense to make the game work

- 4 pages of meticulously referenced Index so you don't have to ctrl+f your way through the book 

- A separate character sheet download, so you won't accidentally print half the book

GM rules are not included in the core book, but will be dropping mid-December as a PWYW digital zine!
