Cubicle 7 Broken Weave

[Rosalia Hollingworth]

Theanswer lies in the title. Broken Weave is a dying fantasy world in which the titular weave (of magic) has been broken. As a result, all sorts of terrible things lurk out there in the darkness as the lands crumble and the world forgets what it used to be.

Like many things, Broken Weave starts with the world going all to hell. The Weave of Magic itself has been broken, and the fabric of the universe is beginning to unravel. Making matters worse, the gods are dead (probably), the moon blew up, and an all-consuming Decay gnaws at the edges of reality.

Time and distance have lost their meaning, and the knowledge of how things once were crumbles like ash between your fingers. Those who remain, struggle to survive in a shattered world ruled by Decay, which eats at memory and warps people into monsters, and monsters into nightmares.

First and foremost is the idea of Decay. This is a corrupting force that transforms monsters and PCs alike, twisting them into monstrous new forms with powerful abilities. Humans, Dwarves, Elves, and Halflings all face a unique Curse, which might transform them into an undead monster, or into a crystalline being, frozen in place for all eternity.

Cubicle 7 has announced a brand new "tragic fantasy" campaign setting which features a world where magic is broken. Earlier this month, Cubicle 7 announced Broken Weave, a new campaign setting set in a world where the gods are dead and the world has started to forget its past. "The weave of magic is broken," Cubicle 7 explained in their announcement. "The gods are dead, the lands are shattered, and the world has begun to forget what it once was. Time and distance have lost their meaning, the knowledge of how things once were drifts away like smoke, and those who remain struggle to live in a shattered world." The campaign setting will be released for Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition in 2023 with an original RPG planned for release afterwards.

Details about the new campaign setting are sparse, but it appears that the new campaign setting will introduce new crafting rules and features some of the same innovations being made by the One D&D playtest.

Cubicle 7 is one of the largest independent tabletop RPG publishers, with a mix of unique IPs and licensed work. The publisher is best known for its Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40K lines, as well as its Doctor Who tabletop RPGs. The publisher recently announced plans to publish Warhammer 40,000: Imperium Maledictum, which focuses on "ground-level" investigations and intrigue. Cubicle 7 is also preparing to re-launch its steampunk Victorian IP Victoriana with D&D 5E rules. Also in the works is Uncharted Journeys, a 5E supplement that adds detailed travel rules that can be used in any Dungeons & Dragons campaign.

The setting is tragic, where the gods are dead, and the world is beginning to forget. Time and distance have lost their meanings, but all is not lost as Community, hope, and trust can remake the world.
