Woven SRD

Woven is a modular, open-licensed SRD designed to help you create and play tabletop RPGs focused on romance, emotional tension, and relationship drama. It’s genre-agnostic, freeform in structure, and driven by feelings—not fights.

Whether you're writing a dreamy two-player love story, a solo journaling game about heartbreak, or a slow-burn romance in space, Woven gives you the emotional scaffolding to make it real.

🧵 Core Features

• Tag-based, dice pool resolution system Characters are defined by emotional, relational, and behavioral tags—used to build pools and shape outcomes.
• Emotional states as mechanics Longing, guilt, desire, fear, joy, shame, tenderness—they’re part of the system, not just flavor.
• Relationship dynamics at the center Track intimacy, trust, tension, and baggage as relationships shift, grow, or unravel.
• Flexible scene and story structure No acts, no rails. The story unfolds through emotional beats and shifting bonds.
• Designed for solo, duet, or GM-led play Each mode is supported with narrative tools and optional structures.
• Safety and consent built in Tools like Lines & Veils, emotional debriefs, and mid-scene check-ins are integrated, not bolted on.
