About the adventure

This listing is for the Stonewalkers campaign setting taking place on the planet Roshar. Your path to Radiance begins here! An Honorblade, the legendary weapon of a Herald, has disappeared. Journey across Roshar to pursue a corrupted Radiant, recover the stolen Blade, and oppose the forces of Odium! This campaign-length adventure for the Cosmere® Roleplaying Game takes characters from 1st to 8th level. Along the way, characters must seek fallen Heralds, survive the Everstorm, and choose whether to swear Radiant oaths. Created in close partnership with Brandon Sanderson and Dan Wells, the story of Stonewalkers™ reveals new secrets about the history of the Stormlight™ setting. IMPORTANT: I GM by Rule of Cool (RoC) not Rules as Written (RaW). I like to keep the tone casual, welcoming, and accepting of the player's needs. I do what makes sense for the game and use the rules as a framework structure, not the law. Additionally, this is the first time that I will have ran the campaign, which is why I'm doing it at a discounted rate. Anyone who signs up should be prepared for everyone involved to be going through the learning process and the occasional retcon. I have all the materials and am constantly studying them but do not yet have them committed to memory. I feel full disclosure of this fact is important up front to ensure I do right by anyone who signs up. In short, you should be ready for me to occasionally mess up (often hilariously) but when I do I make it right in the players favor. You should be ready for a casual fun time, not a strictly by the book adherence to the rules and the source material. Lastly, I have not read the Stormlight series of novels. I picked this up because it sounded like a good time and it wasn't until after that I understood it's origin. I'm working my way through Brandon Sandersons works at present but have yet to catch up with the current timeline in which Stonewalkers is set, which is as the Source book describes during the year of the global war that follows the events of Oathbringer in the True Desolation era. We will begin with a session zero to create characters, get to know each other, and establish any/all need baselines for everyone. The character creation process will be a guided interactive process following the steps outlined in the source book.

About me

I've been a D&D player since the days of 3.5 and returned to the game in 2023 and learned 5e. I've ran many one-shots for D&D, Bunkers and Badasses, and Obojima. I've also been in a Pathfinder 2e game campaign for nearly two years now. I started GM-ing as a volunteer at a local game store and loved doing it so much that I applied to become a professional GM with them and after an audition they hired me on. I started my professional GM career in 2025 and can't wait to broaden my horizons. I'm currently running an ongoing Dragonlance 5e campaign, paid one-shots, community volunteer one-shots, and an Obojima campaign for my friends and family. I own a license for Foundry VTT and host my own server. I have a considerable library of content on D&D Beyond and have been recently running games on their Maps VTT. I've been a Discord user since it's first year in service and have hosted and participated in live and play via post games. I'd also be willing to learn to use another platforms (i.e. Roll20, Mirrorscape, Owlbear Rodeo) if necessary. I'm eager to branch out on my professional GM career and hope that I can bring joy to your table.
