Worldweaving?
The World Weaver’s Loom or WWL is a fan-made project dedicated to evolving Pathfinder into a “1.5” edition that is compatible with original Paizo content. The project is inspired by a combination of content from Second Edition, Third Party, and Homebrew with a goal of not sacrificing the core game play and beloved feel of vanilla. Unleashed aims to offer a refreshed experience that feels both familiar and new for longtime players.
Our Project Includes:
- “Unleashed Classes” or modernized versions of underperforming/problematic classes in a style similar to Paizo’s own Pathfinder Unchained
- Original content including new classes and homerules
- Tweaks, rewrites, and collation of lore helping players to dig deeper into the unique world and vision of Golarion
- Retuning of 3pp content to enable play alongside vanilla APs & content
Why?
First edition lives on into perpetuity but continues to show its age as it loses first & third party support. Many believe that the system is priceless and will be played for years to come. I feel that this project is dedicated to all those who are interested in seeing Pathfinder live on. I hope that the community at large can find novel inspiration, meaningful content, and the opportunity to dig deeper into the nuance that is Golarion as they play test.
How Can I help?
Playtesting and feedback are the essential support the Unleashed system needs in order to grow and iterate on it’s content. As a single developer, Unleashed will be well meaning and researched but fated to have some mistakes. Topics like balance, lore updates, and rewrites will need the contributions of a full community to become their best form. Unleashed players can always count on the project to provide a first pass of content and a “Stake in Ground” for the community to mobilize around and discuss. First edition itself represents decades of this style of development with many iterations of playtesting and design!
