Custom TTRPG · The Loom
Tether
A rules-light, narrative-focused storytelling system. Collaboration, improvisation, and player agency — over tactics, optimization, or simulation.
The System
A d6 dice pool — Archetype, Domain, and circumstance. Count 5s and 6s as successes. No hit points, no spell slots. What you carry instead are consequences, status marks, and the weight of what you've done.
The World
The Loom — shaped by the wreckage of civilizations that reached too far. The Apeiron. The Fraying. The Tethered. Each campaign uses a different setting, the same physics underneath.

Near-future corporate thriller. The Hargrove Meridian Foundation. Project HELIOS. An external threat called COSSACK. The stakes are larger than anyone in the building is cleared to know.
Enter Campaign →The Far Signal
Sci-fantasy cowboys. A small community reporting missing persons and impossible things. An investigation into the outer edges of something already in motion.
