Listen "Cosmere RPG First Impressions & Overview"
Episode Synopsis
The Cosmere RPG has come out to digital backers, so we wanted to talk about our initial thoughts, talking about the systems, and squeeing about the amazing art!
We blabbed so much that lore will be... another episode at some point. There are no Stonewalkers spoilers in this episode, though we will discuss the Handbook and World Guide.
Today we have Ian (Weiry), Evgeni (Argent), Matt (Comatose), and Adim (AAKS)!
If you didn't back the Kickstarter, you can buy the RPG on various places: https://www.cosmererpg.com/shop
We referenced the Shard of Opportunity actual play, which you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/@ShardofOpportunity
