A Stormlight Campaign || Beginners and Sanderfans Welcome

Creating your character

✍️ We’ll create characters together during Session 0. ✍️ Before our first session, you’ll need to sign up for Demiplane. Feel free to browse around and see what excites you. ✍️ Full access to Cosmere RPG content will be shared with you during Session 0, but feel free to start forming ideas ahead of time. ✍️ No homebrew classes or features will be used, all character options must come from officially supported content available on Demiplane.

Preparing for the session

‎What you need to bring: 💻 A modern computer capable of running web-based programs (8–16GB RAM recommended) using Chrome or Firefox. (Safari is not supported.) 💻 A decent and stable internet connection to a ensure smooth session. 💻 Quality audio input, such as a headset or a good microphone. Please avoid using speakers or built-in laptop mics, as they often cause echo or poor audio quality. 💻 Discord (free to download or use via browser) for voice communication. 💻 Demiplane account (free – no purchases necessary). Takes 1-2 mins to sign up. https://app.demiplane.com/auth/signin?returnTo=/home 💻 Forge account (free – used to access Foundry VTT, which is also free and browser-based for players). https://forge-vtt.com/signup 💻 Optional but encouraged: A webcam if you'd like to share video. The GM will have theirs on.

What Nerdyindeed (Geoff) brings to the table

☑️ A dedicated Discord server just for your game, where you can ask questions, coordinate with players, and keep the adventure alive between sessions. ☑️ A fully equipped virtual tabletop through FoundryVTT with soundscapes and ambient music, dynamic battle maps, and built-in character tracking and progression. ☑️ Real-time, in-game safety tools. ☑️ Open DMs in between sessions. I will be available via discord DM and will make it a point to be as accessible as possible for players outside of sessions. I will usually reply within a day if not sooner. ☑️ A Demiplane account with access to all required shareable content for the Cosmere RPG, available to players at no cost. ☑️ Experience. I have run a ton of games and use that experience to provide games that value spontaneity, player choice, and variety. ☑️ Consistency. Games run when scheduled. If a player or two can’t make it, one-shot content can be run instead. If half or more players are unavailable, the group can vote on whether to skip the session or run the alternate content.

Homebrew rules

‎🎲 The game will be run mostly rules as written, with only one optional homebrew addon. 🎲 I provide an optional set of choices for the Plot Die system that grant players greater narrative control when an Opportunity is rolled. 🎲 These options aren’t additional rules, but structured prompts with light mechanics to illustrate what a “Change the Narrative” moment could look like. They serve as inspiration and a jumping-off point for players to creatively influence the scene. 🎲 The rules-as-written Plot Die mechanics are always available and can be used at any time.
