Changelog

Voice control: run the table out loud

Tap the mic in the DM app, or just say “Hey Weavy”, and tell WEAVE what happened. It shows you what it understood, then does it.

• Combat, hands free: “Goblin two takes seven damage.” “Heal Aria for ten.” “Next turn.” Start, pause, resume and end combat, or begin a new round, without touching the screen.
• The rest of the table, too: Call for saving throws, skill checks, ability checks or initiative and every player gets the prompt. Run a short or long rest or a ready check, hand out inspiration, hero points or XP, give an item by name, show a map, toggle fog or the grid, or put music on. Say “cast fireball” and the Cast tab opens on it.
• You stay in charge: Every command shows what WEAVE heard before it acts. Choose whether it asks first, waits four seconds so you can stop it, or applies straight away. Damage, healing and XP can be undone with one tap, and when a name could mean two creatures, WEAVE asks which one you meant.
• “Hey Weavy”: Switch it on in Settings and WEAVE answers to its name whenever the app is open, with a soft chime when it hears you. “Hey Weavy” is recognised right on your device, so nothing is sent until you call it.
• Suggestions: Not sure what to say? The Suggestions sheet lists what works right now, in this session.
• Wherever you run the game: Voice works on the Campaign Dashboard too, so you can start the session by asking. On Android, press Volume Up to talk.

Voice commands are for DMs, in English for now.

The soundboard: music and ambience for your table

Put sound under your scenes. WEAVE now plays music and ambience side by side, from a curated library or from a soundtrack you bring yourself.

• Two layers: A theme on the music channel, rain or a crowded tavern on the ambience channel, each with its own volume, crossfading whenever you change track.
• A library to start from: Curated, browsable by category, each track with a waveform preview and its credits, plus quick slots that keep a handful of moods one tap away.
• Plays where the table is: With a Display paired, sound comes from the big screen; without one, from your device.
• Your soundtrack, from the Forge: Add a soundtrack to your module, pick it from the library or upload your own track, and WEAVE levels it to match everything else. At the table it’s one tap away.
• Or just ask: “Play the tavern sounds.”

The 2024 rules, in full

WEAVE’s D&D 5E catalog now carries the complete System Reference Document 5.2.1, the 2024 edition of the rules, released under Creative Commons.

• Everything in the SRD: Spells, species, feats, classes, monsters and magic items, ready in character creation, in the Forge and at the table.
• Cleaner lists: Duplicate entries left behind by older imports are gone.
• Spell descriptions now show their tables as tables.

Snowglobe, rebuilt

The demo campaign behind Explore Demo has been rewritten from the ground up to show WEAVE the way it’s meant to be played.

• A story you can follow: Every act carries its story beats, so you always know what comes next, with far less reading before you can run it.
• A party ready to play: Five heroes at level 3, with the first fight scaled to them.
• Monsters ready for combat: Every creature’s stat block sits in its proper fields.
• Maps and pacing included: Full-resolution maps come with the campaign, and every module shows its XP rewards and roughly how long it plays.

Scribe, for every DM

Scribe, the chest in the Forge that turns your notes, PDFs and documents into a ready-to-play campaign, is now open to every DM, and it’s sturdier than when it first arrived.

• Import into a campaign you’ve already started: Scribe links to and updates what’s already there instead of creating it twice.
• Duplicates handled cleanly: When two mentions turn out to be the same character or place, the merged entry keeps its details and its pictures.
• More files welcome: Scribe accepts every file type it knows how to read.
• Harder to derail: A stalled import can be dismissed, one file can be retried without getting stuck, and nothing you’ve approved or edited is overwritten by a slower step running in the background.

The Forge, relit

The Forge has a new look, navy with teal light, and a steadier hand underneath.

• A cleaner frame: Frameless dialogs, a light theme that is actually readable, and search sitting beside your settings.
• Autosave you can trust: Your edits survive leaving the page, two fields saving at the same moment, and a slow connection.
• Undo from the keyboard: Ctrl+Z steps back through canon edits.
• Edit in place: The Additional Details card is edited right where it sits.
• Transparent art stays transparent in thumbnails, and AI-generated modules now come with XP rewards and an estimated playing time.

Scribe: bring your campaign in from wherever it lives

Open the Forge, find the chest, and drop your files in. Notes, a manuscript, an old PDF, a folder of session logs, even a messy export from another tool: Scribe reads what you give it and hands back your world, organized and ready to play.

• It reads, then retells: Scribe writes your story back to you in its own words, then proposes the campaign structure underneath it: chapters, characters, locations, items, and how they all relate. You approve what goes in, in bulk or one piece at a time, and can undo cleanly if something isn’t right.
• Faithful, not inventive: Scribe only writes what your material actually supports. When two mentions might be the same character or place under a different name, it asks you directly instead of guessing. When there isn’t enough material to work with, it says so instead of filling in the gaps.
• Handles what you actually have: PDFs (including scanned pages), Word and OpenDocument files, plain text, HTML exports with their images intact, and more, all in one drop. Bring a whole folder at once, and if one file fails, retry just that one instead of starting over.
• Respects rights: Scribe checks what you’re bringing in and declines to use material it doesn’t believe is yours to use, rather than quietly absorbing it.
• Pictures find a home: Images embedded in your source material get matched to the right character or place automatically where it’s clear, and offered to you to place by hand when it isn’t, so nothing you uploaded just vanishes.

Scribe is rolling out gradually. If you don’t see the chest in your Forge yet, it’s coming.

Prepare your table

New campaigns now open to a live checklist instead of a blank page, for both sides of the table.

• Prepare your table: walks new DMs through creating a character, standing up their first module in the Forge, inviting players, and starting a session, checking off each step as it actually happens in your campaign.
• Join the table: gives new players the same guided path in.
• An in-app introduction video: plays automatically on first entry, with a per-topic “Watch” button on checklist rows that jumps straight to the relevant chapter (the Forge, joining a game, running game night). Rewatch it anytime from Preferences.
• Guided walkthroughs: highlight exactly where to click for key first steps, like inviting your players or opening your first map in a live session.
• The Forge’s own Getting Started panel is now a live checklist too, tracking your first module, element, canon object, and map as you create them.

Read-aloud narration, everywhere it matters

Every narrative block in WEAVE can now speak. A read-aloud button sits on canon descriptions, act and module story text, lore summaries, appearance, and rewards, in both the Forge and the live runtime. Tap it and WEAVE narrates the passage in a natural voice on the spot, remembers it so a second listen is instant and free, and shows the cost up front. When a Display is connected, narration routes straight to the big screen, and any member can play a clip "for all to hear" so the whole table catches the same moment at once. It just works on a phone at the table.

AI session recaps & the "Previously on…" splash

WEAVE now writes the story of what just happened. End a session and the dialog offers an AI-generated recap drawn from the real signals of play (combat, loot, deaths, spells, and the beats you hit) in a fast Quick pass or a richer Dramatic one. Recaps live beside your own notes in the campaign chronicle and export to Markdown. The payoff lands the next session: players dropping into the runtime are greeted by a cinematic "Previously on…" splash they can expand to the full narrative, shown once per session so nobody re-reads the same catch-up. Recaps now draw on the whole session, including named loot, so nothing important gets left out of the story.

Enhance your notes, and Story Beats

Don't want a fully synthetic recap? Write a few rough notes and let the new Enhance flow polish them into clean narrative: preview first, accept, or revert in one step; your notes stay the single source of truth. To plan the moments that matter, Story Beats let a DM attach a short checklist of narrative reminders to each act. Author them by hand, or Derive them from an act's text with one AI pass. During play, a beats band sits atop the act flow as a live checklist you can tick off and reorder with a touch-friendly drag, with the current act driving a brand-gradient highlight so you always know where you are in the story.

Campaign Insights: your campaign, Wrapped

A new DM-facing Campaign Insights dashboard turns your campaign's history into something you'll actually want to share. Big focal numbers (hours played, sessions, encounters, damage dealt, XP, deaths), a battle-weathered party breakdown, a 26-week session heatmap with streaks, and an AI-spend strip live behind an ornate WEAVE-skin layout. A percentile gauge shows how your campaign stacks up against the platform, and a one-tap Share renders a Spotify-Wrapped-style card (story and square formats) you can post straight from your phone. Stats roll up at session close, so the page loads instantly no matter how long your campaign runs.

WEAVE goes native on Android

WEAVE now ships as a true native Android app, not a website in a wrapper. The full experience, campaigns, runtime play, and the Forge builder, is bundled directly into the app, so it loads instantly and the Forge is one tap away with a clean return path, all in one seamless install. Sign in with Google works natively, and pull-to-refresh plus a "Refresh app" option bring everything back cleanly after Android puts the app to sleep. WEAVE can also gently nudge outdated builds to update.

Real GoDice over Bluetooth

The native app connects to your GoDice smart dice directly over Bluetooth, with full support on Android joining desktop. Connect a die, see its battery, reconnect to your last die, and roll your real dice to watch the results land in the game.

Haptics that make the table physical

Charging a spell, locking in a cast, or hammering the roll button now comes alive with haptics: an escalating roll-charge crescendo and a satisfying cast-impact thump on every cast type, whether spell, ability, or weapon. It's on by default, can be toggled per device in Settings, and appears in the Android app where real vibration is available.

Players move their own tokens

Combat is no longer a one-handed affair at the DM's chair. With the per-campaign Player Token Movement toggle on, each player can long-press and drag their own character's token across the map and drop it, on touch and desktop alike. Moves commit instantly to everyone's screen, the DM sees a name-flash showing who moved, and players can only ever grab their own token. Tokens now glide smoothly from old position to new across the DM app, the Display, and every player's map instead of teleporting, and combat maps carry positions forward: start a second fight in the same session and your battle line holds its formation instead of collapsing to a dead-center stack.

A real spell-resolution engine

DM spellcasting now reads each spell and builds the right plan automatically: saves, damage, healing, conditions, concentration, and area of effect. Effect-only spells like Hold Person finally apply their conditions instead of demanding a phantom damage roll; failed saves apply rider effects automatically; and spells WEAVE can't fully read drop cleanly to a manual mode you can resolve narratively. It works for both single-target and area casts, and the numbers are worked out fresh each time you cast, so they're always accurate.

Locked-mode combat

DMs can now run combat in a Locked mode that enforces turn order end to end. Players act only on their own turn, get a clear "You're up!" prompt when it's theirs, and can pass when they're done, with saving throws and reactions exempt so the table still flows. It adapts to whichever game system you're playing, and ships alongside a draggable, minimizable action-economy panel players can park wherever it doesn't cover their cards.

The reliability spine for live play

We rebuilt the foundations of live sessions around lessons from real multi-hour playtests. Reconnecting now correctly keeps a player connected to their session, so the bug that once cost a player their Fireball save after a mid-combat drop is gone. The app holds on longer through shaky mobile networks and phones going to sleep, portraits and maps stay loaded across long sessions, and WEAVE keeps an accurate picture of who's really at the table. Live messages like handing out an item always reach everyone they should, and two players joining the same campaign at once land together instead of failing.

5E (2024) backgrounds, done properly

Character creation now speaks the modern D&D 5E (2024) background language end to end. The wizard's background card renders the real SRD 5.2 model (ability-score hints, origin feat, skill and tool proficiencies, and the "choose A or B" starting-equipment line) and falls back to the classic 2014 feature/languages layout when a background uses it. On finish, WEAVE actually applies the grants: it unions the background's skill and tool proficiencies into your character (de-duplicating overlaps with your class) and records the origin feat on the sheet. Four CC-BY backgrounds ship in a new SRD 5.2 pack to get you started.

Attunement & material components

The fiddly 5E rules are now handled for you. Magic items respect attunement: players get an attune/unattune control and a live X/3 counter in the equipment tab, with the three-item cap enforced so quick taps can't slip you a fourth. Material components become first-class: DMs can switch them on in Campaign Settings, and at cast time WEAVE can warn (or fully enforce) that a consumed component is paid for, deducting the gold and spending the slot together so a blocked cast never loses you either. Costed spells show their material cost up front as an amber gp badge.

PF2E Remastered goes deeper

PF2E takes a big step toward parity. Characters export to a proper PF2E PDF sheet (signed modifiers, three saves with proficiency ranks, all sixteen skills plus lore, hero points, spell ranks and tradition). Shield Block works end to end: raise a shield, block a Strike, take the damage onto the shield's durability, and watch it break if it can't hold. Recall Knowledge is wired to a real level-and-rarity check that feeds genuine creature info to the roller. And raised or AI-generated creatures now carry their full stat block (traits, actions, reactions, senses, defenses) instead of just an AC and HP line, for both 5E and PF2E, with the full PF2E bestiary of over 1,300 creatures covered.

Smarter AI image generation

Image generation is now far smarter about what it's drawing. Item and faction art can be generated on a clean transparent background, so canon tokens drop straight onto a map or sheet without an ugly box; DMs can also remove the background from any existing canon image in place with one action. Character image generation is type-aware: portraits come back as tight square close-ups, full "view" shots as full-body portraits with a backdrop, instead of every image forced into the same vertical NPC frame.

A public API

WEAVE now has the foundations of a public API. You can create, list, and revoke your own API keys from your account, with the full key shown once at creation so you can copy it somewhere safe. It's free for every user, with no tier gate.

Weavy AI for everyone

Weavy AI is now granted to the Starter tier by default, so Starter members can actually spend their credits on WEAVE's AI features. Players get their own ask-only AI assistant, kept strictly to what players are allowed to see, so DM secrets, session summaries, and unrevealed module acts stay hidden, with a per-player toggle. DMs gain AI character generation in DM Tools: generate character drafts by level, class, and theme, review each in the normal wizard, and hand them to players. Campaign AI settings now follow your campaign, so every device sees the same configuration.

A whole new look: the Runtime Look

The single most visible change in this release. The live-play runtime, the screens players and DMs sit in front of during a session, has been rebuilt with a complete painted visual identity, and it ships with a skin system so every campaign can choose how it looks. The skin is chosen per campaign by the DM under Campaign Settings, Cosmetics, and applies to the whole runtime instantly. This is the first time WEAVE has had a visual identity of its own.

Two skins at launch

• WEAVE (default): ancient stone panels with the power of the multiverse running through them. Hand-painted chrome on the moments that matter: the RuneRing around a character portrait, carved navigation, warmed-bronze action plates, a crystal reservoir for focus points, a vitality arc, and Cinzel lettering for hero moments, over an animated nebula backdrop.
• Minimal: a clean, modern look. Glassy panels, no graphics, tuned for performance, accessibility, and clarity.

The architecture is built to grow: layout, data, and logic are universal, only the chrome is skin-specific, so future seasonal or purchasable skins can be added without rebuilding the runtime.

One engine, every system

WEAVE began as a D&D 5E application. As of v5.7.0 it is a system-agnostic tabletop engine. Game logic, character sheets, stat labels, dice resolution, and content are all resolved per game system, with care taken to keep one system’s rules from leaking into another. PF2E Remastered is the proof, running on the same engine as 5E with no 5E assumptions bleeding through.

What PF2E Remastered ships with

• Character creation: ancestry, heritage (including versatile heritages), class, background, free ability boosts, PF2E-correct skill counts, and full level-up and level-down.
• Combat: the three-action economy, multi-attack penalty, four degrees of success (with nat-20 / nat-1 shifts), critical damage, Raise a Shield, skill actions, and skill-based initiative.
• Spells: prepared, spontaneous (with signature spells), focus, and innate casting; cantrip auto-heightening; tradition-based access.
• System-correct math: PF2E saves and spell DCs use TEML proficiency math, not 5E ability-score formulas.
• Content: a large catalogue: 1,300+ creatures, 1,100+ spells, 2,000+ feats, plus equipment, ancestries, heritages, backgrounds, and conditions.

Incant: campaigns from your voice

Open Weavy’s Workshop in the Forge, tap Incant, and talk. Describe the campaign you’re imagining, the towns, the villains, the threads, and an audio-native AI parses your recording directly into structured WEAVE content: NPCs, locations, items, modules, acts, and the relationships between them. Nothing is saved blind. Incant returns its interpretation and a list of proposed changes, each tagged with whether it came from your words or was inferred, and you approve what you want. Re-record a quick correction and it reconciles the two, turning a five-minute brain-dump into a reviewable campaign skeleton.

The desktop runtime

The player and DM apps were built mobile-first, and on a phone nothing changes. But on a large screen they now open into a proper desktop layout: the touch UI keeps a comfortable column while the rest of the screen becomes a cinematic stage with a full-bleed backdrop. Modals and panels open onto the stage instead of stretching across the whole viewport. The stage is skin-aware, painted for WEAVE, clean glass for Minimal.

Smarter AI generation

• New image models: Image generation runs on a new generation of models for sharper results, with per-model pricing so you can trade cost against quality.
• Map styles: battlemap generation offers an angled or top-down perspective, each tuned so the chosen perspective actually holds.
• Cost in view: AI cost is shown consistently everywhere with a single indicator, and a session credit meter in the Workshop keeps spend visible.

Weavy Credits & in-app top-ups

AI credits are now clearly named Weavy Credits across the app and the Forge, and you can top them up without changing your plan. One-tap credit packs are available from both the app and the Forge.

The Forge gets its own front door

The Forge used to be reachable only by handoff from the main app. Now it has its own sign-in screen, email/password or Google, and a campaign picker, so a DM can open the Forge cold and get straight to work. Signing in with Google from the Forge returns you to the Forge, not the main app.

3D Character Models

Generate a 3D model of your character directly from their portrait. View, rotate, and zoom your character in full 3D from the character sheet and preview panel.

• Toggle between 2D portrait and 3D model views with one tap.
• Download your 3D model as a GLB file for use in other tools.
• 3D generation costs 150 credits per model.

Redesigned Character Creator

The character wizard now shows all sections in a single scrollable view instead of step-by-step pages. Scroll freely between Identity, Build, Progression, Background, and more.

• New scroll-spy navigation: the step indicator at the top highlights where you are as you scroll, and clicking a step jumps to that section.
• Sleek dark navy aesthetic with teal section headers, glow effects on the navigation, and a floating save button.
• Skills are now clean toggle pills instead of checkboxes.
• Class progression shows your current level with nearby levels, and loads more on demand.
• Character name and class displayed prominently on the preview panel with copper accents.

AI Image Generation

• A new, higher-quality image generation option.
• Configurable per campaign, with style and aspect-ratio settings.

Battlemap Generation

• AI-powered battlemap generation tuned for tabletop maps.
• Automatic prompt enhancement from location descriptions.
• Map upscaling support.

Platform Message Inbox

• System notifications and admin broadcasts delivered to your inbox.
• Unread badge on the message bell, mark as read on open.

Snowglobe Demo Campaign

The demo campaign has been renamed to "Snowglobe" and is now personalized with your name.

Explore Demo Campaign

Try WEAVE without committing: hit "Explore Demo" on the welcome screen or campaign picker to spin up a personal demo campaign instantly.

• DMs can control demo visibility and provision mode from the dev dashboard.

Content Pack Overhaul

Import custom content from JSON files: spells, classes, races, creatures, and items are automatically normalized and deduplicated.

• Full import history with expandable logs showing what was added, skipped, or merged.
• Delete custom content packs with a preview, confirm, and scrub flow that shows exactly what will be removed before you commit.
• Edition deduplication warnings flag duplicate content across packs before import.

Seamless Reconnection

Dropped connections now recover automatically: no more "Connection Error" messages or lost progress when your network blips.

• A short grace period means brief disconnects don’t kick you from the session.

QR Code Invite Flow

Scanning a campaign QR code during registration now auto-joins the campaign after your account is created, with no extra steps.

Feat & Feature Picker

New modal for browsing and selecting character feats with a polished card layout and dismiss controls.
