Bridge Nine Adventure

The Stormlight Archive is the story of Roshar, a world of storms and war.

It is a story of growth, of passion, of honor. And today, it is a story that you will tell.

You are not yet heroes. You currently live in a warcamp at the edge of the Shattered Plains, a vast expanse of chasms and plateaus. Today, you’re traveling with soldiers and scholars loyal to an Alethi noble named highprince Sadeas.

That is where our story begins. A few days ago, a highstorm uncovered ruins dating back to the Silver Kingdoms.

Now, you’re part of an expedition sent across the barren stone to investigate what’s left of those ruins.

This playtest adventure introduces players to the Cosmere RPG and its setting, Brandon Sanderson’s The Stormlight Archive novels. While it is helpful for the GM to be familiar with the setting, players only need to know that it is a unique fantasy world where characters’ oaths and actions determine the powers they can gain.

Players in this adventure begin as individuals with untapped potential. They may be seen as ordinary, but they possess unique talents and uncommon determination that make them all potential heroes. The goal of this adventure is to provide the Game Master (GM) with tools to jump straight into the Stormlight RPG. It goes into more detail and includes more “read-aloud” text boxes than a typical adventure.

Our hope is that after playing this adventure, you’ll feel ready to develop your own original adventures, or adapt one of the shorter sample scenarios included in the playtest packet.
