Hello! I'm GMing my first campaign in the Cosmere RPG, and because we're playing in person, I've loved having quick-reference resources for myself and my players. As such, I decided I wanted to make some additional reference materials to supplement the player quick reference sheet and help my players' ability to jump right in as they become Radiant.

These are the two types of cards I made:

• Radiant Actions cards: summaries of the basic stormlight and spren actions every Radiant gets
• Basic Surge cards: one card for each playable Radiant Order with the rules for the basic uses of their surges, with one surge on each side of the card

These cards definitely don't replace reading their respective chapters (especially when it comes to the Division, Transformation, Illumination surges), but the goal was that they'd help make basic summaries of players' options available without needing to flip through the handbook (and so they don't need to write every detail on their character sheet for their own reference either).

I'm looking forward to getting to hand one of the surge cards to whichever of my players speaks the First Ideal first (and all the ones after), and I hope they can be a valuable resource at others' tables too.

Here's the link to the Google Drive folder where you can download the printable PDF with both types of cards: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ID-PgLP_wr9DGeJ7nUeE8i3zhbRJJZTc?usp=sharing

NO AI WAS USED IN THE MAKING OF THIS BATTLEMAP

Hundreds of laborers in Urithiru turning winches to raise and lower the ship. Dozens of chulls used to move it laterally. Thousands of fabrials to facilitate both—all needing to be perpetually reinfused. Careful synchronization via a half dozen spanreeds to coordinate maneuvers.

The PNG's are 14x28, and the Full battlemap is 40x40

The Fourth Bridge is a rectangular, wooden box; a hundred feet long, sixty feet wide, and about forty feet high, with three decks within. Fans are built into the back to increase speed, though for now, the difference is minimal. At full speed, the ship travels at roughly five knots.

The back half of the upper deck is covered by a semi-round roof, while the front half is open-air and surrounded by a railing. Bridge Four's original bridge is embedded into the floor; some of the Windrunners have a habit of kneeling down and touching it before taking off. A command station, composed of several tables, is typically placed in the sheltered section, though in some cases, it might be moved to the front. The furniture is bolted down.

The lower decks serve as the hold. The bottom one has a broad door that allows large amounts of people to come in and out at once. It functions akin to a drawbridge; it forms a wall and can be lowered and raised by ropes to open and close. While sparsely-furnished, the holds can accommodate several hundred people. There are numbers painted on their walls, dividing them into sections.

Leader of the Bethab Princedom chapter of the newly reestablish "Knights Radiant"

I really want to be using them both for stormlight and when I run over RPGs but I have no idea how to keep them once they're out of their board

I have some things in mind for an “arc” but there would be multiple combats in it. I am unsure of what I can give or how much money would be appropriate and not game breaking for 5 players. They will be lv 1 and I plan on leveling them up at the end of the arc

Any advice is appreciated : )

A bit of context, I'm brand new to the TTRPG space. I'm loving it, but I have found it pretty challenging to keep track of everything. Especially since the people I play with are also new to TTRPGs and the Cosmere so helping everyone track their sheets and know what is going on is a lot of work.

As a result, I started a couple months ago putting this together. It's hardly an original idea, but several of the resources I'd seen back then didn't feel like they quite covered the particular needs I had (something incredibly simple and hands off for people unfamiliar with tracking stats as well as a means for me to view all my players stats in real-time but intended for in person play).

It's far from perfect, and still has a ways to go, but I'm pretty happy with it so far. It's proven useful already in my groups so I wanted to show it off despite it maybe being overkill at this point with other resources out now.

Capabilities:

1. Digital character sheet (with automatic level up and other stat calculations).

2. Actions cheat sheet to make it easier to remember what skills and actions you can take on your turn and what you've unlocked.

3. Notebook for personal notes, party shared notes, and secret notes.

4. Multi-campaign character tracking

5. DM overview that syncs character data in real-time allowing me to see current stats, defenses, health as well as edit on the player's behalf if necessary.

6. Inventory management (In progress).

7.A glossary of Roshar lore to help those unfamiliar with common concepts (still in the works)

I'm probably still a couple months out from getting it to where I want it to be, but if it continues to work well in my groups and people are interested then I'd love to find a way to make at least the core part of it accessible to others.

AI and photoshop were used to make the Oathgate control room mosaics (Sorry if that disappoints you, If any artists want to draw a replacement Mosaic I would gladly swap them out}

The Oathgates once were active, they were seen as a symbol of the Vorin Right of Travel, a reflection of a declaration by the Heralds that all borders should be open. The Oathgates were viewed as a source of pride and therefore they were constructed in full view in each capital city. Now your players can experience them on Tabletop

Included are 7 of the 11 Oathgates (the others didnt have enough info for me to know what to do with them yet). The referenced size of the oathgates is MASSIVE. Somewhere between 200 to 300 yards. This isnt to that scale, but I feel it conveys the scale well enough for the TTRPG. I decided to go with only a quarter view of the oathgate to give me enough room to show the control building, the main platform and the exterior location as best as I could.

All Maps are 40x40 100dpi, also I included a 4x9 bridge

• Urithiru

>The Oathgate platforms of Urithiru are arranged in a circle on the grand plateau in front of the tower.

I decided to keep the Urithiru Oathgates very simple, but if anyone has a better Idea what to make the mosaic let me know

• Kholinar

>The Alethela Oathgate is located in its capital city of Kholinar. By the Era of Solitude, the Oathgate is within Alethkar and is attached to Kholinar Palace by a bridge. The Oathgate platform is covered in building structures. The interior of the Kholinar Oathgate's floor is covered with a tile mosaic of animals native to Ashyn, such as lions and whales.

• Thaylen

>The Thalath Oathgate is located in the kingdoms capital of Thaylen City. In the Era of Solitude, the Oathgate is located in Thaylenah. The Oathgate is located at the top of the hill city and connected by a path to the Royal Ward. The patterns of the mosaic on the floor of the Oathgate are in the form of glyphs in the Dawnchant
However, the platform itself has been transformed into a sculpture garden destroyed by the Everstorm.

• Shattered Plains

>The Natanatan Oathgate is located in the city of Narak, or Stormseat, in the very center of the Shattered Plains. In the present, the platform forms its own plateau adjacent to Narak

• Rall Elorim

>The Iriali Oathgate is located in their capital, Rall Elorim. As the Iri leadership allied with Odium, the Oathgate is currently under their control. This Oathgate is located at the heart of Rall Elorim, inside a perfectly circular reservoir that collects water from the Stormfalls. A stone bridge runs to the reservoir’s center, where a weathered temple stands on top of the Oathgate. This temple is its control building

>The Iriali religion may involve fortune-telling with ocean waves, as a member of the Iriali court is the court tidereader. A spanreed meeting between the Iriali queen and Dalinar was moved up because of something seen in the waves.

So I chose to do waves and light refractions for the mosaic as a personal choice

• Makabaki/Azish

>The Makabakam Oathgate is located in its capital city of Azimir. By the Era of Solitude, the Oathgate is located within the kingdom of Azir. It is believed to be a memorial of some kind, and a bronze dome has been constructed over it in the center of the Grand Market and housed under a bronze dome. Once the Azish learn that the structure is an Oathgate, they close down the grand market

I chose a 10 pointed star for this Mosaic and wanted to lean into the colorful nature of the Makabaki people with keeping it a normal stylized mosaic

• Shinovar

>The Shin Kak Nish Oathgate lies somewhere in Shinovar. Its location is unknown

I went with a Sun and wheat mosaic because it seemed fitting
