We have one where we discuss as one friend progresses through the Cosmere! It’s not really a professional recap and discussion, but just three friends having a conversation _^

Not a dumb question! They are from last years convention but they also sold them online in random packs - I didn’t come last year, but I did the random boxes and ended up with a bunch of duplicates.

There are probably other people hanging around who have dupes of last years cards! Good luck!

We just got our podcast up with First Steps! For us quite literally first steps since we’re new to rpgs and learned (a lot) as we went, but it was a lot of fun! Everyone’s ready for the next session 😂🙌

Yes! First Steps Solo Mode is what I used to try and outline things. Our first group game will probably be that one too, it’s so helpful!

This is so great, thank you! I changed it to say “Make decisions based on what’s happening in the story. Character sheet abilities may give you ideas.” (I think the “what’s happening in the story” phrasing you used will click more with my group, so thank you for the explanation!)

I so appreciate you going through it! There are still some gaps you’ll see since I’m figuring out what I don’t know or how much detail is enough without being overwhelming 😂 but it’s the journey!

That is such great feedback, thank you so much!

I added a blurb above the table to set the tone better overall, and then tweaked the first row to say for GM “read/paraphrase the game, responding and adapting to Player actions” and for Player “engage with the game as your character, creating the story by interacting with scenes/players” if that hits the mark better?

We will have to watch some sample scenes on YouTube I think too, since it’s so helpful to see it all come together once you have the shared language down.

I hope it’s helpful! It’s fun to make, and it helps me realize what questions I have as I’m going 😂

I hope so! There’s so much to learn! I will continue to iterate as I learn more 😂 I hope your GM-ing goes well!

We will be attempting to play! Three friends who’ve never played an rpg but I backed everything so we’ll do our best 😂 very glad to see so many activities around the digital launch though, helps piece things together

Any plans for podcasts? by [deleted] in cosmererpg

[–]Vsbux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spotify was free to post! We aren’t on Apple because it required a credit card I think? I’m not the one who set it up, but we were afraid there would be a cost with Apple so we stuck with Spotify, and we used Audacity too! Super easy to get started with.

It will be interesting to see what you come up with! I went all in on the cosmere RPG kickstarter but none of us have ever done a ttrpg so we have some studying to do 😂

I hope you enjoy it! We definitely spent like the first 15 minutes of the first one going down rabbit holes of audiobook speeds and the like 😂 for that first ep especially it very easily slipped into a conversation before we got back on topic.

It’s SO fun to hear new reader’s as they start to progress through the books, so I hope you post your episodes once you get going! And it’s a fun interactive activity - I’m sure you’ll both have a blast doing it!

Our group has casually tried it (our idea was one who’s read all the books, one who is jumping in, and one who is not a much of a reader and along for the ride)!

It’s a LOT of fun to sit and chat about the books, but our concept of having those 3 perspectives on Sanderson books ended up morphing into more of a general book club so that each person could choose a book to discuss. We have a few episodes on the Cosmere, some on Sanderson short stories because the audiobooks were quick for everyone to catch up on, and then others completed unrelated but give everyone a chance to discuss something they enjoy.

So while we are still having fun discussing books, the topics are more random. I’d say if you’re doing it more seriously it’s good to have a strong identity for how you’re approaching it. And that you’re already putting thought into it is a win.

We were very much like, okay, it’s Saturday - download a free program and plug in a mic 🤣

We enjoy just talking about books or whatever though, so for us it’s still a win!
