Honorblade Lost: A Cosmere Campaign

Creating your character

We'll be using Demiplane for character creation. Demiplane's creation system is very intuitive, and we'll make sure that everyone is able to build the character they want to play! Every player will have one-on-one time before the session starts to talk over backstory/character ideas, and to help put your character sheet together if needed. We'll also spend some time creating character connections and building the group's backstory, so we can jump straight into gameplay!

Preparing for the session

This will be a Play-By-Post game, played asynchronously through Discord. This means that players and DM can post without a set time throughout the week - everything is at the pace that works best for all involved! The entire game is text/image-based - there will be no voice chat at any point in game. As the GM I will do my best to respond to player contributions ASAP. As players, you will be able to contribute at times that work well for you, at a pace that works for you as well. You do not need to have previous knowledge of how Avrae, Discord, Play-By-Post games, or the Cosmere RPG to join this game - I will guide you through every needed step! You are also free to roll using Avrae (an integrated dice roller for Discord), your character sheet directly in Demiplane, or even your own physical dice! Once you sign up, hop into the Discord and we'll start getting you onboarded. The game itself will start once everyone is ready, and no players will be charged until we begin in earnest.

What Buppy brings to the table

I'm excited for you to join my table! As a player, here is what you can expect from me as your GM: - Learning opportunities! I really enjoy teaching the game to others, so throughout this campaign you will learn the basics of combat, endeavors, and conversations - the three pillars of Cosmere RPG! - A great focus on character backstory! I want your characters (and you as the players) to be truly invested in the happenings of Roshar. - Engaging and memorable NPCs, both as allies and enemies! - While the rules are in place for a reason, sometimes you want to do something that doesn't quite fit a specific rule. That's ok! I use what is called the Rule of Cool - in essence, we will find a way to make it work if it's at all possible!

How Buppy creates a safe table

Before we begin, we will take some time to discuss our Lines and Veils, which will also be covered in a shared document for all players. I want to make sure all players feel safe and welcome during play - it's ok for characters to feel scared or stressed, but the players should be having fun! At any point, players can message me to let me know if something is making them uncomfortable. I am not against stopping a game to make sure everyone is feeling ok before moving forward, and we can always retcon/skip forward/etc if needed. Finally, my messages are always open! Feel free to message me anytime to let me know if something didn't work for you during the game, and we can find a way to make sure those things don't happen in the future.
