ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
Can you survive the Shattered Plains? When tragedy strikes an expedition, a few lucky survivors must make their way home through the chasms of the Shattered Plains. Can this unlikely crew survive the night, uncover secrets of the Lost Radiants, and return to the warcamps? The events of this one shot happen one year before the events of "The Way of Kings" and therefore contain no story spoilers but some minor worldbuilding spoilers for The Stormlight Archive

ABOUT THE SYSTEM
Beginning with The Stormlight Archive and expanding to Mistborn, this original tabletop RPG will grow to support the entire Cosmere! This is a living RPG that will grow as Brandon Sanderson expands the universe of Cosmere novels, designed to tell standalone stories in each setting or sweeping Worldhopper campaigns that move between different planets.

The Cosmere Roleplaying Game uses an original system designed for a broad range of players, from roleplaying novices to avid TTRPG hobbyists. The system's core mechanic is simple: roll a 20-sided die, add a relevant skill, and try to beat a certain difficulty number. Familiar but upgraded mechanics with purpose-built innovations such as talent trees, skill-based magic, and the “plot die” make the system unique!

ABOUT YOUR GM
I've been playing TTRPGs for 7 years after stumbling my way through running the 5e starter set for my partner and her friend. Since then I've found a passion for discovering interesting systems and using them as an outlet for my love of storytelling. I usually run science fiction games because I am a massive scifi nerd, but I also enjoy running fantasy, cosmic horror, and just about anything else.
