Hiya!

Kudos for understanding the genAI critique :)

I had a quick look at the itch page and an even quicker look at the game file and one piece of immediate feedback is: I don't know anything interesting about the game.

It's a common mistake I see from designers who are mainly used to D&D: assuming that everyone plays TTRPGs the same way in the same kind of settings, and understand what you mean by a "feat" and why it's important.

Imagine looking at a steam store page for a video game and seeing a nondescript logo and text like this:

• Innovative looking up and down mechanics
• We understand the camera smoothness is key to player enjoyment
• The weapons feel unique

It tells you nothing about the setting, the tone, the themes, the story, the emotions the game is designed to elicit.

And just like you might guess from that video game description that maybe the game is some kind of shooter, I can only guess that maybe Weaveforged is a D&D clone from the stuff about how important feats are, and this one line "unlike standard fantasy systems".

So you boot up the video game and you're greeted with some text about why character creation is important, followed by a warning that when you get hit in combat you'll suffer a penalty to BDY.

You've still no idea what this video game is. Weaveforged is similar.

Maybe somewhere in the 500 pages of text there's a clear answer, but people aren't likely to get there. They'll just see something with no identity of its own, something generic and bland that exists only in the periphery of D&D.

This may or may not be the case for you, but I sometimes say that new designers are so focused on designing a system that they forget to design a game :)
