Phase 7 – The Loom Expands

The Loom never sleeps.
With the foundations built and the web of systems growing stronger, the world of Dicewoven began to stretch beyond its code and pages — out into the hands of players, readers, and wanderers discovering it for the first time.

📖 The Primer Launch

Our first book, The Primer, marked a milestone: the moment Dicewoven left the developer’s desk and became something people could hold.
What started as design sketches and scattered lore turned into a structured storybook — a window into the tone and texture of the Woven Realm.

The launch was small but symbolic. It wasn’t just a test of sales or reach; it was proof that this world could live outside of prototypes.
Each chapter became a thread of its own, whispering of what’s still to come.

⚙️ Integrating the Builders

Behind the curtain, the tools continued to evolve.
The Adventure Builder grew from an experiment into a core system — capable of collecting cards from every generator: Inns, NPCs, Shops, Quests, and soon, Dungeons.

The next phase was integration — not just working, but working together.
Cards could now be sent, stored, edited, and reordered; the next challenge was teaching them to export into fully formatted PDFs.
The vision: a self-contained digital companion for storytellers, powered by the same spirit as the books themselves.

Every fix, every bit of debugging, made the builders more fluid — almost alive.

🕸 Expanding the Loom

As the tools matured, so did the home they lived in.
The website became a living archive — each book, generator, and update neatly threaded into its own space.

Ko-fi integration arrived soon after.
Instead of paywalls, we built a system of support and reward — allowing visitors to “Buy us a Mead” and unlock extras like advanced PDFs, art, and early access builds.
It kept the spirit of indie creation alive while giving players a way to help the Loom grow.

🔮 Looking Forward

The next threads are already in motion:

  • The Weave Momentum Rulebook, expanding combat and action flow.

  • Adventure Builder 2.0, with deeper editing and export options.

  • The Library System, a visual shelf for every created card and book.

  • And, of course, the ongoing Fables Blog, where every step — broken, fixed, or forged anew — becomes part of the Dicewoven story.

The Loom expands not in haste, but in harmony.
Each new strand strengthens the weave — a growing tapestry of imagination, built one thread at a time.
