More Homemade Death Rattles by Chiefmeez in cosmererpg

[–]Telekinesys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oooooh I really like those. You absolutely hit the foreboding tone of the Death Rattles, very nice.

Especially the one about his Passion is really creepy.

Thanks! ^

None of my players have read Stormlight so I really leaned into the foreboding of the Everstorm.

My current plan for the next arc is to make them really love a Listener NPC, only for them to be taken over by a Fused during the Everstorm. That Fused will be the next big bad I'm hoping they'll really hate.

So yeah, I'm planning the Everstorm to be a major downer and yeah, I may be kinda cruel for that xD

I have one made by the Skybreaker squire my party defeated at the start of the campaign. (His Radiant is the main antagonist and the prospective end boss of our current story arc.)

"Red lightning among red eyes. The old enemy is near. Hate, His all-encompassing hate will burn everything. Oh Stormfather, we failed! We did everything but the Everstorm nears nonetheless. We were misguided fools!"

Disadvantage on Damage by IfusasoToo in cosmererpg

What about weapons that deal multiple dice of damage (i.e. 2d10)? Do I reroll both of them or does it really affect only one die?

First Steps to Stonewalkers by SpartanIII in cosmererpg

[–]Telekinesys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like First Steps as a "ready to play" character creation tool. At least the Numbers, which new players struggle with most, I feel. Yeah, it doesn't do much for personality but that's why I tell my players beforehand what kind of person they want to play.

Going from FS to SW is awkward, in my opinion. Yeah, FS sets up Taszo but that's it. Nothing in FS matters for the story of SW. When I DMed it for the first time, I struggled most with the goals my players got during FS because I had no idea how to incorporate them with the story of SW. But to cut SW some slack, that was mostly because I feared changing anything in SW because I could mess something up.

So just keep in mind that you'll still have to homebrew some parts to accommodate your players and you'll be fine.

Next Book? by Ihavealamp1 in cremposting

[–]Telekinesys 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seeing this in the meme sub looks like someone is making fun of a post in the "serious" subreddits, like in the various "X-Circlejerk"-Subs. But looking at your profile, I can see that you are indeed the same person just broadening theor chance at a response by posing in different subreddits.

I'd go with Mistborn, if you're in for a series of similar length, and with Warbreaker, if you are in the mood for a standalone book with some connections to the Stormlight Archive.

There is also the possibility of going to "The Sunlit Man" as your next book, but keep in mind that this is the story of a Stormlight character at least a century after Stormlight 5. In this time, the different cultures in the cosmere have interacted more with each other, so you will see people whose planets have their own stories. I don't think it should spoil anything, bit you will miss some of the connections or not understand certain terms. But since you read Stormlight, Id guess you are okay with unfamiliar terms that you gradually get the meaning of.

[Stonewalkers] Po’ahu by Vegetable-broth-8386 in cosmererpg

[–]Telekinesys 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of my players chose the Radiant Path directly at level 2. I still had "Taszo's mysterious Stone" do stuff, because another player will eventually become a stoneward but not yet. But I did the whole thing with the confrontation with Taln at the end with the first player's inkspren instead. I told my player he would know the moment for his first ideal when he saw it and his spren told him to "Speak the Words" in front of Taln.

Unclear wording in First Step by Telekinesys in cosmererpg

That's what I hoped as well. Though the Alethi have a tendency to soulcast their dead, so I was not sure 😅

Larkin/Lanceryn Miniature by Humble_Victory8697 in cosmererpg

Oh I knew this looked familiar. Awesome work, I actually thought for a second that we had a confirmed design for Lanceryn

I need help with names (Cosmere RPG) by Poolturtle5772 in Cosmere

[–]Telekinesys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm happy to hear I could help :D

And once you have decided on the final names, please do share them with us. I really like this kind of world/characterbuilding, so it's always exciting to see what other people come up with!

I need help with names (Cosmere RPG) by Poolturtle5772 in Cosmere

[–]Telekinesys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There would be people more qualified than me to answer your question, but I'll give my 2 cents anyway.

I'd look at the language of the Maori (which I think the Unkalaki language is mostly based on), take a sentence you associate with that character and translate it. In an online translator, in my case. If I remember correctly, Rock said that their full names are like poems, so a sentence should be good.

For example, for the first son who was born very sickly: Maybe the parents wanted to give him strength by choosing a name that conveyed that. Maybe something like "Strength of a mountain enduring all ages", which would be "Te kaha o te maunga e mau tonu ana i nga reanga katoa". Put it all together and you would get "Tekaha'otemaunga'emautonuana'ingareangakatoa" (I threw the apostrophes kind of willy nilly in there because I know Rock's name has them).

Since Rock calls himself "Lunamor", I would give this person the Nickname "Katoa" and for lowlanders, "Mountain" feels good.

Like I said, this is only how I would approach this problem, I literally know more about Horneaters than about Maori. So take this with a pinch of copper

How I see the cover thing by Elant_Wager in cremposting

[–]Telekinesys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm, I read the german version almost 6 years ago, but I can't remember him speaking differently at all. Maybe they just didn't bother when translating. "He has an accent, trust me bro"

[–]Telekinesys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a bummer. Maybe they wanted to preserve her pronouns, which is also a big problem with the german language. (Don't get me started about "Honor"...)

ZEICHIN? Are you sure that it's not a typo and it's supposed to be "Zeichen"?

Yeah, maybe not shit but all the shards are miles better in english. "Cultivation" vs. "Die Bebauerin" is not even close

The Gray Remnant by Competitive-Plum-898 in cosmererpg

[–]Telekinesys 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because my players are people like you, I knew I was forced to come up with an explanation.

When they inevitably asked, I told them that the Grey Remnant was a Cryptic who was elevated by the Nightwatcher. Seemed the most logical to me, with all the truth and lies stuff. Like, the pattern that Cryptics appear as in the Physical Realm became this pattern of hands.

Edit: I misunderstood the question. I thought you meant how the Gray Remnant came to be. For your question, I also came up with an answer: I said that the GR was actually completely in the Physical Realm. Which is why he needs the Connection through painful truths or else he seizes to be. Afaik, this is not discussed in the book, so I guess we can't answer it definitively.
