About the adventure
This is a very short, one-shot Play-by-Post adventure played asynchronously in Discord. There is no scheduled game night. We’ll keep the story moving throughout the week with regular posts, character interaction, and a pace designed for players with busy schedules. In The Long Way In, you play a small crew in Luthadel trying to earn the trust of the skaa rebellion. Your test is simple on paper: infiltrate the estate of House Haught, get into a nobleman’s safe, and escape with what’s inside. Expect a mix of heist planning, infiltration, social encounters, difficult choices, creative problem-solving, and purposeful combat. You do not need to have read Mistborn or know anything about the Cosmere. The adventure is a great introduction to the setting and system.

About me
I’m a longtime tabletop player, fantasy fan, and storyteller who loves the part of TTRPGs that can’t really be scripted: a group of people creating a story together and watching it go somewhere none of them quite expected. I’ve played across Dungeons & Dragons 5e, Pathfinder 2e, and the Cosmere RPG, but I’ve especially gravitated toward the Cosmere RPG as a GM. I love its setting, its approach to character-driven storytelling, and the opportunities it gives players to make meaningful choices in a world that feels much bigger than any one adventure. I’m also the kind of person who enjoys everything surrounding the game. I like building out campaign spaces, organizing resources, tinkering with Foundry, preparing the world, and finding little ways to make it easier for players to get immersed and feel like they’re part of something. More than anything, I enjoy bringing people together around a table, giving them a world to explore, and seeing what they do with it.
