Does Anyone Care? (Cosmere RPG)

[Parmandur]

Yea, that doesn't shock me. The synergies between the more limited power sets like Wax and Wayne, or the weirdness of Misting savants like Spook or Miles is something that can be explored. Mistborn were pretty well illustrated by the first trilogy.

It's sorta like nobody really wants to make a Superman knockoff in a supers TTRPG.

Yeah, and it probably takes some system mastery to do well. I'm still just impressed that the rules, without feeling "cheap" about it, have managed to bridge that balance gap.

Yea, obviously we'll need to see all the details to be sure, but it looks like they managed to thread the needle here.

Fairly confident it is possible after Stormlighr, but for sure.

It was a while back, during the Kickstarter, but they have talked about how they planned ahead for how different some of the magic systems will be: one of the major influences on the action economy is considering player character Elantrians and Vancian mages, who get "I Win" buttons...that take 10 actions.

Brotherwise has put out a new free Holoday adventure module designed to tie into the climax of the Stonewalkers Campaign book:

"The Fused Who Devastated"

In Iri, the people would gather each year,
For colors and costumes and Vaporlight cheer!
They twirled by the falls as the vaporspren gleamed,
They all were united. At least so it seemed...

For Grincil the Fused took exception to this.
He frowned at their joy and he sneered at their bliss.
“Why should they gather?” he snarled from his lair,
“And who says that I don't deserve to be there?”

"Vaporlight Festival in Rall Elorim is coming soon, and everyone is preparing for the celebration. The royal council sees this as an opportunity for singers, humans, and Fused to create bonds and step forward together into a new world. Unfortunately, one disgruntled Fused is tired of the NOISE. He’s tired of the FEASTS. He’s miserable, and this Fused—Grincil—has hatched a plot. He’ll steal all the vaporspren costumes to make sure the festival can’t happen. The characters are charged to find Grincil and either lift his spirits or get him out of the way."

"This short adventure was written by Meric Moir, Lead Writer for the Cosmere RPG and Director for the forthcoming Plotweaver RPG! It features delightful illustrations by our favorite Cosmere artist, Marie "Lamaery" Seeberger."

"The Fused Who Devastated can be added to the final chapter of Stonewalkers, dropped into an ongoing homebrew campaign, or used as a heartwarming holiday one-shot. Click here to download it!
