Patchwork World is a weird fantasy game that mixes principles from powered-by-the-apocalypse (PbtA) and old school renaissance (OSR) games. It's written for people who prefer or need simple character sheets and rules, and for people trying to move away from D&D.

WEIRD FANTASY: In Patchwork World, you can burst into a herd of cats, be haunted by your troll grandma, speak with birds, and tend a crystalline garden.

PBTA: Players (including the GM) have clear principles to help them get started, like being a fan of each other and being open to change. Players have a lot of power over what a session will look like based on the moves (special abilities) they pick for their characters.

OSR: Embrace chaos, telegraph lethality, subvert expectations, build responsive situations. There are lots of tables to roll on in Patchwork World to build strange places and drive the strange occupants of those places.

SIMPLE SHEETS AND RULES: Patchwork World has no stats and no classes. Making a character is as simple as choosing two moves and describing who they are.
