Havens are an excellent example of the maxim, “mechanics support the fantasy”. This is something that Free League, Modiphius, and Cubicle7 really understand in contrast to some…other, larger RPG publishers.
100%. I like D&D but it really doesn't give a DM much more than a D20 and some modifiers - that's a great framework to build lots of interesting things but sometimes you don't want to be a game designer, you want to be a game master. I've had really good experiences with C7 products and PbtA games in that regard, and when I do play D&D those experiences make me a better DM (and sometime wish I was playing those other games lol).
thank you for this reccomendation :) - i will have this in a corner of my mind ... and whenever my players will fail in an epic campaign .. this will probably the next setting we play :) so they can see what the failing did with the world !
Such a great review. Was definitely a little sad as I backed it on Kickstarter and it was touted as 5E compatible, but I'll definitely mine it for ideas rather than the book itself.
Artificers might still enjoy studying the -radioactive- magical decay and the -mutations- anomalous effects it can cause. It's all in good fun, a post-apocalyptic fantasy setting where magic is now cancerous could be a great survival setting.
Hey! Creator and one of the designers of Broken Weave here. Thanks a bunch for the video. Its a real kick to see people enjoy what we made.
That's awesome! Thanks for making some of my favorite TTRPGs!

I've had my eye on this for awhile, but I haven't seen a review until now. Thanks!
Let me know what you think if you end up picking it up!

That's a really cool idea.

Glad you liked the review! Yeah I get why they marketed it as 5e…but it doesn’t do justice to the product.

Holy shit! Is this someone actually using the 5e engine after it went CC?
Looks like it! Thought by the amount of content here I'd guess they were working on it well before that whole deal.
Alright waiting for a second video later today
These kids are writing checks I can't cash.

It turns out that good reviews are only enhanced by kids having a good time popping in occasionally for mild havoc.
lol I’ll make sure to include more of the havoc next time.
