This page collects naming ideas, system sidebars to write, and key design decisions that still need development or finalization.

What should the system be called?

Possible names and taglines:

• Aspect Web
• Weavebound — “Weave your own fate.”
• Fourfold Weave
• Loom of Fate
• Weave Your Fate
• Tapestry — “No classes. No limits. Just the path you weave.”
• Destiny Loom
• Wyrdweave — (Old Norse “Wyrd” = fate) — “Where every choice becomes a thread in your story.”
• Fatespun
• Web of Fates

Alternative approach: keep it generic as “My RPG”, reinforcing the idea that this is your system to shape.

Create a sidebar for the documentation demonstrating how easy it is to add d4s.

Key ideas to highlight:

• Many dice pair to form 5s
• This makes most rolls easy to add mentally by counting by fives
• Helps counter objections that “adding up a bunch of dice is hard”

Eventually, consider making a demo video or short animation that visually shows how this pairing makes play faster than expected.

Introduce spell tags such as:

• Arcane
• Divine
• Nature

Benefits of tagging:

• Domains can grant access to one or more tags, rather than specific class-style lists
• Supports hybrid casters and custom builds
  • e.g. A Fey Domain could grant access to both Arcane and Nature spells
• Enables new tags like:
  • Illusion
  • Healing
  • Fire

This avoids bloat while allowing flexible, expressive magic access.

Design goals:

• Always hits (bypasses Evasion/AC)
• Fires multiple small darts
• Each dart does 1 HP of damage

Questions to resolve:

• Should darts be allowed to target the same creature or require separate targets?
• Can the caster increase the number of darts by spending resources?

Scaling ideas:

• Higher tier unlocks: more darts
• Cost options:
  • Mark additional Stress
  • Increment the used counter beyond normal
