Cosmere RPG - The First Step

The First Step is a “session zero” adventure in which players begin with blank character sheets. This unique approach to the Cosmere Roleplaying Game allows players to discover who their characters are through action and narrative. As the story progresses, each player’s choices determine the character they create—and the fate of a convoy ambushed by a vengeful Shardbearer!

This adventure is designed to be an immersive introduction to the world and the game system. While it contains the basic rules required for play, it is best enjoyed as a companion to the Stormlight Handbook to provide the most complete experience. Whether you are a new player or a seasoned veteran of the Cosmere, this adventure offers a fresh way to build a fellowship.

The First Step also serves as a perfect narrative bridge for those looking to start a larger campaign. It can be played as a standalone experience or utilized as a prologue for the Stonewalkers adventure, providing a natural starting point for your journey into the wider Stormlight Archive campaign setting.
