Ghostbloods: A Cosmere Spy Thriller Campaign
Cosmere Roleplaying Game | Campaign
About the adventure
While the Alethi are off waging war on the Shattered Plains, trouble brews in Tukar as the god-king Tezim leads the country in a war against the neighbouring Emul. You are a group of spies from the Ghostbloods, selected specifically to infiltrate Tukar and learn more about the disappearance of another agent. And, as per usual, you are in way over your heads...
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
The party is currently investigating some strange things happening around Khatazan, in Tukar. The party is level 3 and consists of: - An Azish agent - A Scadrian hunter

Additional details
How to prepare
Players should have a microphone and ideally headphones (or at least some mechanism to avoid background noise intruding in the session). The use of cameras is optional and will be discussed during Session 0. Players must have a access to a web browser, as well as a Discord account which will be the main means of communication for the campaign.
What I provide
I will have the module ready with all the necessary elements for the sessions. All the character sheets will be included as well after Session 0. I believe the most important thing for this Campaign specifically is to enjoy the Cosmere universe, and as such will focus on narrative beats that support that and might at times handwave some of the rules in favor of a smoother experience. However we may talk about this in Session 0 and adopt a different focus if that is your preference!
Gameplay details
We will talk about an overview of the module and player expectations in Session 0, as well as go over the Lines and Veils (we'll keep them in a Google Drive document I'll provide). The document may be expanded on at any time during future sessions and if at any point during a session you feel uncomfortable, we will use the Script Change version of X-N-O cards and address it. The campaign will be very focused on a spy thriller vibe but will still have some of the whimsy and hope that is so core to Roshar, with comedic moments, dramatic ones, and maybe even some epic combat scenes, so expect all of the above!

How will character creation work
Characters will be created during Session 0 and will be done as a group. They must all be members of the Ghostbloods sent to Tukar at the start of the campaign. I will also have pregenerated characters ready if that's your preference. There will be no limitations on the characters except for whatever information is available to use!
