Say the Words: A Cosmere RPG Radiant Campaign [Free Session 0]

Cosmere Roleplaying Game | Campaign

About the adventure

Spoilers for all of Stormlight up to Oathbringer/Rythm of War. Our story begins at the Battle of Thaylen Field. You are survivors, soldiers, scribes, parshmen. And the spren have taken notice. This campaign will specifically explore the Radiants and you'll form a special Radiant task force with a unique mission that will take you all across the continent... The Radiants are reborn. Will you Say The Words?

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.

Kenan has an incredibly creative mind that can lead to very interesting narrative moments. In our campaign, he came up with many different NPCs that furthered the mystery. If we had any issues, we felt completely safe bringing them up and Kenan understood and adapted. Above everything, Kenan is approachable and caring.

Kenan has been fantastic. He's very attentive to what players want and their ambitions for a story. The sessions have been engaging and exciting, and I always finish a session feeling like we've only just started.

Kenan puts in lots of prep before sessions and is very chill to play with! I'm playing the Cosmere RPG with him, and it's great. (Come join!!)

Kenan is a great GM and an excellent one to go to if you want to play a Star Wars TTRPG. He knows the rules of the Fantasy Flight game system very well and has a skill in explaining it to new players with ease and patience. He is very understanding and will go above and beyond to make you feel accommodated. His games are well thought out and his session 0 was probably my favorite I've ever been to. He's thorough and covers all bases, including his desire to implement what you expect from your game experience with him.

As a first time ttrpg player, I thought Kenan was fantastic. He was patient with me and explained everything very clearly.

Had a great time learning Cosmere RPG. Kenan gave many opportunities to be creative while learning the new system.

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. 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 the Radiant orders, with some of the whimsy and hope that is so core to Roshar, with comedic moments, dramatic ones, and definitely 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 present at the Battle of Thaylen Field at the start of the campaign. It is not necessary that all become Radiants (Adolin is awesome!), but know that the Radiant orders will be a big focus for 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!
