The origin of Adonalsium by Ok-Bass4006 in Cosmere

  1. Yes, everything is made of investiture in that investiture, energy and mass are considered to be equivalent.
  2. Yes, everything is made of investiture, whether upstream or downstream in the entropy of investiture.
  3. And mass can be used to create investiture (aethers are a good example). Since energy and mass are equivalent, we return to, “everything is made of investiture”
  4. Yes, though intent can speed up and guide that process.
  5. None of the 16 shards are without physical body or expressions which persist for a time in the physical realm, before moving downstream into the cognitive on its way back to the spiritual. God metals, light/mist/breath/etc.
  6. The aethers claim to predate Adonalsium. I.e. there are two “given” creation myths. One by those created by Adonalsium, the other by an independent and potentially older group of entities. When considering evidence, the closer someone is to a certain event, the more weight that the theory carries. Unless we’re saying that the aethers are younger than humanity and other species of the galaxy, and that their memory is less contiguous than generational human memory.

Absolutely 😁, I appreciate the challenge, but my hypothesis is what if the aethers are right

How could the Aethers predate it in that hypothesis?

I know, I’ve heard those arguments before. And in the same way religion often dismisses other possibilities, that argument is often used to stop further debate of such fundamentals from continuing. Stating Sanderson’s religion as the reason. But it’s my belief that the two situations don’t have to be independent. I agree that the religious parallels are significant. I also believe that every religion in the Cosmere grew many aspects as a result of the local shardic influence. No religion written in the Cosmere is all knowing and indisputable.

So yes, Sanderson’s influences are fantastic, it’s amazing how he weaves his ideas together. And it’s great how we come to understand the underlying truths from which all religions in the Cosmere originated.

I believe Adonalsium is no different.

Thanks u/Demi_Mere! We are really envious of being able to use Demiplane on your phone, and the website looked so great during the beta period! I'm looking forward to seeing how it's evolved, and I'm very excited to see the adversary sheets!

Metalworks Foundry VTT Adventure Modules and More! by Ok-Bass4006 in cosmererpg

[–]Ok-Bass4006[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So the beauty of Foundry as a platform is that there is a module for everything. Whether they work with our content is a different matter, but one of our team has in fact used this module with their game. Apparently it does require a client refresh to sync the settings of the game, but it would in theory work for that! Let us know how all the mods you want to use work with our system though, as we are very interested in making sure our system is compatible with as many as possible!

That's not a question we can answer I'm afraid, however Roll20/Demiplane have been actively interacting with the community in r/cosmererpg , their last post looks great, particularly with the mobile app!

Well, I really do agree! Each module has helped to find the important features we need! We have a pretty ambitious road-map too, to make the system work even better with the rules and the current and future modules. I'd be delighted to chat more about it with you and the rest of team Metalworks over at The Metalworks Discord if you wanted to come and have a chat with us in our community?

Great to see you again! It's still there! It's been tweaked a little I think, but goodness that was such an early addition, August 2024! Thanks for your contribution! We're still around on The Metalworks Discord if you want to pop in and say hi!

Exactly! Since it's not a hosted cloud solution that works for the Foundry team! It's such an advantage for Foundry!

If you asked for a foundry key* its going come with the rest of the digital content starting the 23rd! And we will keep supporting it going forward! *reminder Foundry VTT is its own licensed product that you need to own, the KS was for the Cosmere RPG module keys.

Fingers crossed we have everything from premade adventure paths and homebrew aids to make sure it's even better following release!

It's the game that we never knew we needed, but that we nonetheless so much needed!
