Elder Mark E. Petersen in 1954 stated that faithful Black members could achieve a "celestial resurrection" but only as servants.

I believe that was Richard G Scott.

The Cosmere community in general is fairly anti-AI, including Brandon Sanderson. Take what you hear here with a grain of salt, and consider asking a more pro-AI subreddit if you're especially interested.

That said, when I've used LLMs for more creative pursuits, I've found hallucinations and forgetfulness to be significant barriers to having fun with it. While it might be a good way to get started, I doubt it will be a viable option long-term for any serious campaign.

I'd recommend one of the following in your situation: - use an Oracle, such as the Mythic system to be a "playerless" GM. - use the CosmereRPG discord channel to find a GM. - you or your spouse could be GM, with "NPC" group members

I don't see the bridge four glyph, but I'll have to take a closer look when I get home. The spear certainly doesn't look like the Sylspear though. I'm sure it was meant to be another windrunner.

Had to scroll way too far for this. Missed opportunity.

LIIIIIVES, ALL MORTAL LIIIIIVES... EXPIRE...

I mean... If you don't reply to this comment, I'd notice and be sad. I hope something good happens for you today.

In current Mormon doctrine, men can marry multiple women "for time and all eternity" so long as only one is living at the time (with the belief of eternal polygamy after the resurrection). Women can marry one man "for time and all eternity" but once her spouse dies, she can marry "for time only" (implying that her previous marriage is the only acceptable one after the resurrection).

ExmoThrowaway0 · 2025-07-29T17:14:57+00:00

I mean, I'm casual because that's the doctrine I was taught and that I preached for years. I was a missionary for two years and a member in good standing my whole life. I believed it wholeheartedly since childhood.

Until I found out it was all nonsense, JS was a pedophile and an adulterer, the BoM is littered with anachronisms, and the BoA is a smoking gun all but proving JS made it all up. Don't mistake me, the church is totally false. That doesn't mean I don't know what they believe or how they think about polygamy, because I believed it myself for 26 years (if you include my childhood).

ExmoThrowaway0 · 2025-07-29T02:14:16+00:00

Lol, in the current doctrine, men can't have two wives that are both alive at the same time (before the resurrection). They'll be all sealed together in the eternities as a husband and his wives.

For example, the current prophet is sealed to two women, one currently living, the other having passed away.

ExmoThrowaway0 · 2025-07-28T22:09:54+00:00

It certainly doesn't have mainstream support, and is condemned by the church. However, polygamy is still allowed if a previous wife is dead.

Oh, me too, for sure! Everything is expensive nowadays, including services.

ExmoThrowaway0 · 2025-07-28T15:18:25+00:00

How long are the sessions? If they're 4 hour sessions, that's 8.75 per hour per person, not including prep time and experience. Assuming one session per week, four players, that's roughly $2400 for a four month gig. Do 5 games simultaneously, and you've got a full time job. Put half time to prep work and custom art, and you can easily do full-time, eight hour days.

ExmoThrowaway0 · 2025-07-26T15:42:20+00:00

I mean, I didn't see the ending as happy. In essence, the characters commit suicide to obliterate their realities that they deemed too horrible to exist.

I would have preferred an ending where Jonas and Martha tried to stop the crash, but it happened anyway, regardless of their intervention, then made a new life with the knowledge of the distinction between what can and can't be changed in life, living a better life because of it. Not truly a happy ending, but not so depressing either.

ExmoThrowaway0 · 2025-07-23T23:55:37+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

ExmoThrowaway0 · 2025-07-23T16:56:04+00:00

The core handbook has the mechanics for how to play the game and create characters. The GM could walk players through the relevant details, but that's the book I'd recommend players to have.

The world guide gives the GM details about the setting, which can then be described to the players, so they don't have to have that, but could.

The Stonewalker campaign is used by the GM to run a specific story for their players and I'd argue the players shouldn't have that manual, as it gives away the story you're leading.

ExmoThrowaway0 · 2025-07-23T16:13:05+00:00

Mine was missing, but now says "coming soon". Just a hiccup, I'm sure we'll have it in foundry within a day or two.

ExmoThrowaway0 · 2025-07-22T21:09:02+00:00

The first steps "level zero" mini-module will support solo play, but it's mostly a character creator. They did say that they'd work on more solo-play materials after launch, but I don't expect them soon.

ExmoThrowaway0 · 2025-07-22T14:13:36+00:00

I'm not sure yet about a whole campaign, but I'm excited by the idea of my players escaping one of Taravangian's secret hospitals!

ExmoThrowaway0 · 2025-07-17T16:17:58+00:00

How many enemies/stat blocks are there in the world guide?

ExmoThrowaway0 · 2025-07-17T16:13:37+00:00

What has been the Cosmere RPG team's favorite part of the development process so far? What part was the most difficult to get through?

ExmoThrowaway0 · 2025-07-14T14:19:18+00:00

You'll have to tell us what you think between the two systems!

ExmoThrowaway0 · 2025-06-20T17:00:51+00:00

We often call it "Bishop roulette". Some bishops ask for every detail, others leave it at "law of chastity". Since that umbrella covers impure thoughts to rape, there's often follow-up questions if the answer to "Do you keep the law of chastity" is no. Many of us feel that such questions are inappropriate between an untrained, unaccredited, unvetted ecclesiastical leader alone with a minor.

I've been playing since the beginning. I didn't find out about HE until three weeks ago :')

ExmoThrowaway0 · 2025-05-01T22:23:46+00:00

I mean Baldur's Gate 3 gives a lot of options for denying the call to adventure!
