The Cosmere RPG — Stormlight: The First Step

Overview & purpose
Begin your journey into Roshar with The First Step, a session‑zero style adventure for the Cosmere® Roleplaying Game. Designed to introduce players to character creation as part of the story, this adventure lets you start with blank sheets and build your heroes through play—shaping who they become by the choices they make while defending a convoy from a vengeful shardbearer.

What’s inside

  • A complete session‑zero adventure that teaches character creation through narrative play.
  • Scenes and prompts that guide players from blank character sheets to fully realised 1st‑level characters as the story unfolds.
  • Encounters and set pieces focused on roleplay, decision‑making and teamwork—perfect for new groups.
  • Game‑ready adversaries and challenges suitable for a convoy ambush scenario, including a vengeful shardbearer antagonist.
  • Guidance for GMs on running session‑zero, handling player choices, and using the adventure as a prologue.

How it works

  • Players begin with blank character sheets and select traits, backgrounds and abilities as the adventure advances—each choice is motivated by in‑game events and outcomes.
  • The structure trains new players in the rules while keeping the pace dramatic and story‑focused: make decisions, resolve scenes, and gradually unlock options for your characters.
  • Designed to create strong player buy‑in: choices made during The First Step have lasting impact and can be carried forward into ongoing campaigns.

Requirements & compatibility

  • Contains the basic rules needed to play this self‑contained session zero; however, the full Stormlight Handbook is recommended to expand rules options and continue play beyond the introductory adventure.
  • The First Step can also function as a prologue for the Stonewalkers™ adventure or other Stormlight campaign arcs.

Who it’s for

  • New players and GMs learning the Cosmere RPG system for the first time.
  • Groups seeking a story‑driven character creation experience that forges strong party identity.
  • Fans who want a dramatic prologue that naturally leads into longer Stormlight campaigns.

Why you’ll love it The First Step turns character creation into an immersive story—players don’t just build characters, they become them through play. It’s an ideal entry point for groups wanting an accessible, memorable start to their adventures on Roshar.
