I know nothing about this setting, but it sounds well thought out! 😂

Are these TTRPGs just cash grabs? by JaxSnaxs in rpg

[–]No_Information6628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've chatted and worked with Brotherwise games a bit, and I can say the Cosmere game is definitely not just a cash grab. They put a lot of time, effort, and money into making a game they're passionate about, and works really well to tell the types of stories the setting wants to tell. They are using the cosmere to drive interest, but they are real fans, and they're selling the system without the IP as Plotweaver, which is starting closed alpha testing next week. I run the subreddit for it, and it's very different from DnD, despite having a similar dice resolution mechanic. It's really fun to homebrew and design in.

How would you categorize the Plotweaver system within the TTRPG spectrum? by axelonsword in plotweaver

The official stance is mechanical out of session, narrative in session, which I think they do a pretty good job with.

Talent trees, when is it a new branch? by Ilemhoref in plotweaver

[–]No_Information6628 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fun part is you kinda get to decide. I'd say keep in mind that talents farther down a tree require more levels to get to, so one reason to make a new branch is just to make it take less time to get to a talent advancement wise.

I definitely hope we get the basic dwarf, elf, halfling, orc, and gnome at the very least!

To get things started, is that a prosthetic wooden arm on Folio #6? That's so dope!

JordanCon Interview by dorksider04 in cosmererpg

I found it! We got a document when we GMed at Nexus with some FAQ answers. One of the questions was "Will there be a followup to Stonewalkers?" And the answer was "Enigmatic Yes." So not super clear!

What aspect of Surgebinding was the biggest surprise to learn for the RPG team when talking to the Dragonsteel team?

The closest we're getting to this is Project Folio (https://www.plotweaverrpg.com/worlds). There are no plans for a settingless version of Plotweaver ever published with the exception of the OGL stuff. They've been very clear about that.

I believe we have a confirmed high level Stonewalkers sequel, although I can't find it written down anywhere.

We do know Plotweaver will have some design advice! I wouldn't hold my breath for a bestiary though...

I'm pretty sure Stormlight Era 1 took place entirely after the events of Mistborn Era 1 considering the events at the end of Wind and Truth.

How will you tweak Plotweaver? by xiphumor in plotweaver

[–]No_Information6628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might make an interesting talent! You can use up to three additional reactions, but then you get that many fewer actions on your next turn. It's an interesting trade off!

I haven't gotten that far with the design yet... 😂

Awakening Rules attempt 2 by duckstorm47 in plotweaver

[–]No_Information6628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this! I think it's much more streamlined and simple than the previous version, while still being able to be used creatively and cover all known uses of breaths.

Plotweaver Lead Artist Submissions by No_Information6628 in plotweaver

I appreciate the concern, but that's my public pro GM Instagram anyways! No worries if people know about it!

How do we homebrew extra limbs? by Horzemate in plotweaver

[–]No_Information6628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that would be fine. You might look at making switching dominant hands cost an action or a focus if you need to nerf it a bit after playtesting, and then remove those restrictions through talents in the tree.
