Stormlight Starter Rules

This is the Cosmere Quickstart Rules, an introduction to roleplaying in the interconnected worlds of the Cosmere. It provides everything you need to learn the basics of the system, create your first characters, and play through introductory adventures inspired by the novels. Step into stories shaped by Investiture, Shards, and sweeping conflicts across worlds, with streamlined rules for character creation, actions, conflicts, and exploration.

The Cosmere roleplaying game is about telling stories set amid legendary figures, secret societies, and the magic systems of worlds like Roshar, Scadrial, and beyond. It draws on the same sense of wonder as the novels�soaring cities, highstorms, mists, and hidden powers�while letting you decide how your own heroes respond to the mysteries and dangers they encounter.

Unlike simply reading about the Cosmere, this RPG gives structure to your tales and a way to resolve the consequences of bold choices. Players roll dice to see whether their characters can leap a chasm in a highstorm, outwit a rival in a tense negotiation, or master a surge of Investiture at a critical moment. Anything is possible, but the rules and dice shape which outcomes are likely�turning every scene into a dramatic, shared story at your table.
