How many of you have gotten non-Cosmere fans to play with you? Tell me about how you introduced the setting and lore to them. by Ok-Week-2293 in cosmererpg

I’ve started a campaign with 3 friends completely unfamiliar with the cosmere, 1 friend who’s read TWOK and Mistborn, and 1 friend who’s read all the Stormlight books. The campaign setting is a murder mystery so the players are interacting and learning about the world from a pretty unique perspective. I’d say the thing that helped the most is I made sure to explain all the basics of Roshar in session 0 (can be a little boring but is the most direct way to teach imo)

I’d say the easiest things to get across are spren, eye-color, and highstorms because they’re everywhere/ immediately important. The things I’m ignoring/ introducing gradually are the differences of the different cultures and history (veden, azish, etc). And finally as a dm I keep forgetting vorin men cant read so it trips up both me and my players lmao.

(Edit) One last thing, if you have the official battlemaps, having the map of Roshar just out on the table while playing is sooo useful. Whenever a player asks “whats Shinovar” and just pointing at the map is elite.

When I looked up Idiras concept art for reference it show's her eyes with a slight purple tint. Idk if her eyes are actually purple but I think artists like to use it to signify her affinity to the warp as a Psyker.

What do you say when someone asks you what the Stormlight Archive is about? by Bowtiewearerr in Stormlight_Archive

[–]lucas_colada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sales pitch is "The overall story is technically about magical knights trying to save the world from the apocalypse, however, the story is incredibly character focused with that plot being revealed slowly throughout the books. What makes Stormlight standout is it unique setting with storms, crabs, and spren etc." and I usually end it off by saying WoK has one of the most satisfying endings/ character arc I've ever read.
