About the adventure
The stories of our past help guide our future - or at least that is what we have been led to believe. Through the spoken ideal and the spark within all of us, we must gather ourselves to face the dangers ahead. Come, my friends, for on the edge of nothing will our words become power and our wills our blade! To the echoes beyond that which was foretold! Join me on a bespoke adventure that starts with the Bridge Nine series and continues forward to wherever the party wills it to go. Inspired by the Stormlight Archives book series, this story will see elements from the books, the adventures that will be released within the Stormlight RPG game, and my own creations as you delve further into your characters' stories and objectives. A few notes on this game: - You do not need to know any previous lore of the series - This system is not compatible with the Mistborn RPG system - I am a narrative over mechanic style person, so please don't feel restricted to the options in the system.
Game style
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

Gameplay details
I have been given the honor of running a sneak peak into the Stormlight RPG - I will not have access to the adventure until closer to the KS launch, but I do have a general idea of what is dictated in the book series in terms of safety concerns. These may update as I read through the adventure - so keep that in mind when signing up. This is a bespoke adventure as well, so some concepts may come up on the fly based on party actions. If anything may be potentially triggering even if no one had mentioned it thus far, it will be handled prior to explaining that scene. I run Avrae in my discord for safety purposes through the use of the Safety Tools workshop alias so if anything comes up you are not interested in, let me know! All players will be given a private channel to discuss lines/veils prior to session 0.
