Thank you, that's high praise! I'm getting screwed by the algorythm lately, but comments like those are what keep me going :)

Sounds like an interesting setting... or rather an interesting game? I'm not sure if I would call it D&D 5e if it's not compatible with the usual classes (and probably spells and monsters, too), so I'd tend to say it's more of it's own thing, only based on 5e. Does Broken Weave use the usual weapons and armor? I'm very happy to hear that the devs agreed to your interview and I'm looking forward to watching that one! The character creation style seems promising. Would you be interested in talking more about that and the variation you came up with for your campaign?

[@TheFirstArcadianDnD]

You have an interesting point, I guess it's a halfway point between the two. There are many rules intended to replace D&D 5e ones, but at the same time the vast majority of the 5e system is kept unchanged, such as rolls resolution, combat mechanics, roleplaying system, etc As for the weapons, in theory they are different but in practise they are the same: because of the "lore" of broken weave, the methods for crafting brand new metal weapons were lost, and survivors need to improvise weapons from foraged materials. Despite having different names in the weapons table, though, they are roughly the same ones as in the PHB, with the same mechanics

You missed the point were every session someone dies! xD

[@TheFirstArcadianDnD]

@joaopinto2724 it's called dramatic storytelling XD But seriously, I'm famous for running high body count games, and even I am taken aback by the mortality rate so far!
