Cosmere RPG: Stormlight—The First Step Adventure

By Brotherwise Games

Take your first step onto the storm-swept world of Roshar with The First Step Adventure, a narrative-rich session zero adventure for the Cosmere Roleplaying Game. In this story-driven TTRPG Adventure Module, players begin not as defined heroes but as ordinary people caught in extraordinary circumstances—and their choices will forge the path forward.

Designed to introduce new players to the world of Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive, this adventure begins with blank character sheets and uses an evolving character creation mechanic where player decisions shape their stats, traits, and ideals.
