ABOUT

The Plotweaver Roleplaying Game is an original game system created by Brotherwise Games. While Plotweaver was originally designed to support the Cosmere RPG, its depth and flexibility make it excellent for a wide range of settings.

Familiar But Upgraded:

If you’ve ever rolled a d20, you already know the basics of how to play Plotweaver. But this original system takes d20-based play to the next level with a wide range of enhancements.

The Plot Die

A simple but powerful tool for adding excitement to key rolls, the plot die can add a narrative Opportunity or Complication to any situation.

Paths, Not Classes

Instead of rigid classes, Plotweaver characters can be completely customized through talent trees that allow you to build exactly the character concept you have in mind.

Skill-Based Magic

When you want to use extraordinary abilities, you’re not limited to narrow “spell slots.” Magic, psionics, and superpowers take a more narrative approach that rewards creativity, improvisation, and degrees of success.

Worlds Collide

From swords and sorcery to blasters and spacecraft, this system was built to support storytelling that spans genres. Whether content is created by Brotherwise or other developers, it can all be combined across worlds and genres.
