Fulfillment Update & e-Supplement Preview!
about 1 year ago – Mon, Sep 15, 2025 at 01:48:13 PM

Hello, Radiants! We hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We're excited to see the progress this week will bring, and as more orders begin to ship out, here’s another update on Wave 1 fulfillment. Let’s dive into it!

Fulfillment Update

USA

Dragonsteel is working at the speed of Stormlight and has already completed 28% of all orders. And many more continue to go out daily! For troubleshooting questions related to US orders, please contact Dragonsteel Support. 

You will receive an email with the tracking number from Dragonsteel as soon as your individual rewards are shipped, but we ask that you avoid shipment status requests until fulfillment is finished.

Canada

We expect all remaining Canadian fulfillment to be completed within the next 1-2 weeks. You might see “Out of Stock” on the Pick & Pack hub, as it is waiting for some additional inventory to complete these orders, but we anticipate the product arriving very soon. For troubleshooting questions about Canadian orders, please contact Pick & Pack Backer Support. However, please avoid requesting shipment statuses until the fulfillment process is complete.

LATAM 

Quartermaster Logistics is waiting for this inventory to arrive and it is on its way! In the meantime, we've submitted the necessary RFCs for Mexico and CPFs for Brazil, and those backers have been contacted by email. If you haven't submitted your tax codes and are in one of those two regions, please email [email protected] so he can collect your information as soon as possible. Once you've provided this information, we can move forward more quickly with shipping once the inventory arrives. 

EU

We have received word that inventory is on its way from the UK warehouse. We are working with Gamesquest to get these shipments started and have authorized orders be shipped immediately when inventory arrives. We anticipate shipping will begin in the next 1-2 weeks. 

UK 

Fulfillment is underway in the UK! We've started handing off orders to the final mail carriers. With a large volume of UK orders to process, we anticipate that fulfillment will continue for several more weeks. If you have any troubleshooting questions about EU or UK orders, please reach out to Gamesquest Backer Support. However, we ask that you hold off on shipment status requests until fulfillment is complete.

Asia/Rest of World

We have submitted and confirmed shipment information with the VFI team and can anticipate shipments to commence next week, beginning their journey to each hub. To check the status of each hub, please visit the VFI HUB page https://vfi.asia/hubs/, and to contact VFI, please visit https://vfi.asia/support/. However, we ask that you hold off on shipment status requests until fulfillment is complete.

Australia

Shipments have continued going out over the past two weeks! Our partners at VR Distribution moved quickly, and once the additional inventory arrives soon, we'll process the pending orders. There are quite a few orders remaining, and we expect fulfillment will continue for several more weeks. Issues with AUS/NZ orders can be directed to a support page here.

We will continue with our weekly updates as additional shipping information is confirmed.

Stormlight e-Supplements available for download September 24, 2025!

The Cosmere RPG’s campaign energy still inspires us, and we are excited for the launch of the Advanced Adversaries and Stormlight Scenarios e-supplements that the team has worked so hard on in response to the incredible support you all showed us. These digital downloads will be available on September 24th via BackerKit and will be automatically pushed via an email from Backerkit to everyone who is receiving them. And for those who missed them this time around, they’ll be up on DrivethruRPG later this month as well!

Stormlight Scenarios includes seven easy-to-run adventures in tiers 1, 2, and 3 of the Cosmere RPG. From the Herdazian countryside to the depths of Urithiru to the cliffs of Marabethia, these adventures feature a wide range of characters, challenges, tones, and scenes. Each scenario is balanced for four player characters to complete within two or three hours, perfect for a one-shot or to drop into an ongoing campaign as a side quest.

Advanced Adversaries delivers new ways to challenge your Cosmere RPG adventuring parties on Roshar. On top of additional tier 2 adversaries, this e-supplement includes "upgraded" and "downgraded" Fused variants, Surgebinding modules you can easily add to any Cosmere RPG adversary, and one legendary item – Nightblood.

Stay tuned for more updates next week!

Cosmere RPG Fulfillment is Underway
about 1 year ago – Tue, Sep 02, 2025 at 01:16:04 PM

Hello, Radiants! After our PDF pre-launch a month ago, we’re excited to be shipping the physical Stormlight campaign setting books. Our team will share regular mini-updates during the Cosmere RPG fulfillment process to answer frequently asked questions and provide updates for each region’s progress. Now that we’re about one week into fulfillment, here’s what we know.

Fulfillment Update

USA

Fulfillment is underway for the US! This is our biggest region by far, and we expect it to take as long as 10 weeks to fully complete. A week into US fulfillment, Dragonsteel is showing 8% complete on their progress tracker here.

Troubleshooting questions can be directed to Dragonsteel Support, but we ask that you avoid shipment status requests until fulfillment is complete.

Canada

We’ve received word from Pick-N-Pack that fulfillment is well underway in Canada. We’re expecting that there will be some lingering orders going out over the next two weeks as problematic orders are resolved and stock arrives to address any inventory shortfalls, so don’t panic if you don’t have your order yet. Questions about Canadian fulfillment can be directed to Pick-N-Pack’s customer support team at https://www.pnplogistics.ca/contact-us/

Australia/New Zealand

Fulfillment is now getting started in the AUS/NZ zone, but will stretch over several weeks and take place over two phases. You are more likely to be in the second phase if you ordered miniatures or painted figurines. Rest assured, however, that we expect all orders to be shipped before the end of September.

UK/EU

We are still waiting for a significant amount of stock to arrive in the UK/EU zones. Like AUS/NZ, shipping in the UK/EU is likely to take several weeks and ship in two phases, with our partner shipping stock as it arrives. 

LATAM

We expect to have all the products for Latin America in our Florida fulfillment hub in the next three weeks, at which point shipping will begin. Please be reminded that LATAM is not covered under the VAT-friendly policies that apply to other regions, and you will be responsible for duties on your order. We hope to have more information on this schedule next week.

Asia/Rest of World

We expect that Asia and Rest of the World shipping (coming out of Hong Kong) will begin in the next two weeks, but we also expect that it will take up to 2-3 months for product to fully work its way to some of these zones. Asia uses a hub and spoke fulfillment model where product is shipped to fulfillment partners in each country, and then they have to ship it out to backers. We appreciate your patience as our partners get this process underway. 

In Other News

While Dragonsteel and our international fulfillment partners focus on Stormlight delivery, the RPG team is hard at work on Mistborn! At this stage in the process, core design is complete. The approved Mistborn Handbook text is in early layout and final playtesting. The Mistborn World Guide is also written, Dragonsteel-approved, in early editing, and headed to layout next. Right now our playtesting focus is Mistborn Legacy, which is shaping up to be a truly epic adventure spanning both eras of Scadrial.

Speaking of both eras, it’s been very fun to see Era Two taking shape in the RPG illustrations. Here’s a fun depiction of a Twinborn making a daring Ironpull leap to stay hot on the tail of a getaway car. It’s this kind of high-octane action that makes Elendel such a fantastic backdrop for adventures!

We Want to See Your Books!

The team has been working hard on this RPG for the past couple of years, so we love it when we see folks sharing RPG books and accessories! You can post pictures as you receive them, similar to this Reddit post. Share them on the r/cosmererpg Reddit, the official Cosmere RPG Discord, or your social media platform of choice. And make sure to tag us so we can see!

Cosmere RPG Stormlight Fulfillment Starting Soon!
about 1 year ago – Fri, Aug 15, 2025 at 04:07:35 PM

Happy August, Radiants! Since the last update, we've been celebrating the digital release of the Stormlight Campaign Setting and recovering from a very successful Gen Con where samples of the RPG were the star of the show.

This update brings fantastic news: Our original fulfillment timeline is on track, and shipping of rewards is beginning! As a reminder, we are only fulfilling Stormlight Campaign Setting items in this wave. Mistborn fulfillment is a second wave, and will happen in September of next year.

Included below are notes on last minute address updates. NO ADDRESS CHANGES WILL BE PROCESSED THROUGH BROTHERWISE AT THIS POINT, BECAUSE BACKER LISTS HAVE BEEN HANDED OFF TO ALL FULFILLMENT PARTNERS. However, please continue to direct all questions about digital rewards to [email protected].

Length of the Fulfillment Process:

Shipping is expected to take up to 10 weeks across all regions, including the US. Before reaching out to our customer support team, please review the updates and comments section for the latest information on your zone.

We will post minor fulfillment updates in our comments section for this campaign while we await more information for significant updates. You can also join our Discord community and ask any questions in the Kickstarter channels. 

Once you receive tracking information for your order, it may take up to 72 hours for the number to update as it enters the shipping system. Please refrain from contacting our customer service team during this time period, as we won't be able to provide any updates.

Zone Specific Notes:

UNITED STATES 🇺🇸

Since we have partnered with Dragonsteel for fulfillment in the United States, from this point forward, all U.S. based backers should direct their requests related shipments and physical rewards to the Dragonsteel support team.

If you have a last minute update to your shipping address, Dragonsteel needs to know about it right now. You can check the address we have on record for you by reviewing your backer survey at https://the-stormlight-archive-rpg.backerkit.com/backer/review.

You can then submit a support ticket at https://support.dragonsteelbooks.com/support/tickets/new. Dragonsteel support can assist with address updates, pledge questions, and address any concerns related to your physical rewards once they ship.

US orders should begin shipping as early as next week, but again, we expect the entirety of US fulfillment to take up to 10 weeks, so please don't panic if you don't receive a tracking email immediately.

CANADA 🇨🇦

Fulfillment for Canadian backers should begin next week! We are partnering with Pick & Pack Logistics for Canada and all Canadian backers should receive a confirmation email from Pick & Pack to update your shipping address. We've heard that these emails are already starting to go out!

EU/UK 🌍

Because of the longer transit times to get product from our factories to the EU/UK, product is still arriving at this hub. At this time we expect EU/UK fulfillment to begin sometime in September, as originally scheduled. Prior to that beginning, every EU/UK backer will receive an email from GamesQuest offering one last final address change and address confirmation. 

ASIA 🌏

Asian (and some Rest of the World) fulfillment is being handled by VFI in China. They should begin shipping to their local hubs by late August, but our past experience suggests that the total fulfillment process for Asia and Rest of World could take up to 10 weeks. 

AUSTRALIA 🌏

Australian and New Zealand fulfillment is being led by VR Logistics. VR has confirmed that the product has arrived and will spend the next two weeks processing the inventory and prepping the campaign. We expect fulfillment proper will begin soon after that. Prior to shipping, we expect that VR will send emails confirming shipping address. When we have a more firm start date we will update you all.

LATAM 🗺️

Due to the complexities of shipping to the many countries we have backers in in Latin America, we will be shipping all LATAM product from Florida. We don't expect this process to begin until mid-September. A reminder that LATAM is not covered by our VAT-friendly policies, and LATAM backers will have to cover import duties for their rewards (this would have been the case even if we had been shipping this product from within Latin America). You should check your country's duties percentage and compare to your original pledge level to calculate what level of duty you will need to cover.

Thank You!

As always, thanks for your patience as we take the next step in this journey. We're excited to be starting the fulfillment process a couple of weeks ahead of schedule, but packing and shipping this many orders will still be a lengthy endeavor. While you wait, you can check out the recap we just posted of our Making Games in the Cosmere panel at Gen Con. Stormlight may be coming soon, but we're already hard at work on the future of the Cosmere RPG!

Digital Launch Party and Speak the Words!
over 1 year ago – Fri, Jul 25, 2025 at 11:24:06 AM

Hello, Radiants!

This week we have a lot to celebrate. The Digital Pre-Launch for the Cosmere RPG is now fully underway. While we've experienced some delays in delivery (especially for VTT codes), all backers should now have access to your digital rewards in BackerKit. If you're having any trouble, you can contact [email protected] so we can ensure you get all your rewards!

Today is also the day that we launch our Stormlight Summer Add-Ons for folks who backed those extra rewards! Read on for details, and a party invitation!

Cosmere RPG Digital Launch Party

To celebrate this exciting week, we're hosting a "Stage" event on the Cosmere RPG Discord server from 2-4 PM EST today. (If you just received this update, that's right now!)

During the launch party, the RPG team is discussing development stories and answering questions from the community. This will be our first time hosting a Stage event on Discord, so we'll be learning as we go; however, we're aware that there is a 300-person audience limit in Discord when sharing video. For anyone who can't make it, we'll upload it to the Brotherwise Games YouTube channel later today! We don't want anybody to miss out on the fun.

This event also celebrates a promotion for one of our key team members: Meric Moir! An outstanding member of our team, Meric has already been promoted from Writer to Lead Writer behind the scenes, and today we're officially announcing his new full-time role at Brotherwise: RPG Director for the Plotweaver system! For more about Meric, and what his new role will entail, join the party!

Stormlight Summer Add-Ons

Thanks so much to everyone who supported the Stormlight Summer Add-Ons! If you did, your copies of Chasmfiend Magazine and Speak the Words should now be waiting in your Digital Downloads for that mini-campaign. Please note that for Speak the Words, you should see two files: the actual adventure PDF, and a separate "Speak the Words Content Pack" ZIP file that contains maps, handouts, and character sheets.

Set in the year after Oathbringer, this short adventure is a great way to introduce the setting to Stormlight newbies, because it hits a lot of the world's unique details in just a few scenes: a highstorm, war between Alethi people and Odium's forces, nascent Radiant powers, and swearing the First Ideal.

Speak the Words Video

Speaking of those Words, we have a great video to share of the new adventure in action! DocSun, a key member of our Metalworks development team, has put together an awesome prototype version of Speak the Words for Foundry VTT. Here, he's using it to play the Cosmere RPG for the first time with a who's-who lineup of Cosmere content creators!

This is a very entertaining playthrough, but i's full of spoilers for Speak the Words, so don't watch it if you're going to play the adventure. If you plan to read or GM it, don't miss this video!

Thank You!

As always, thank you for making all this possible, and for your patience as we roll out your rewards. We're very excited for this launch, and for the future of the Cosmere RPG. We can't wait to hear what you think of everything you've received so far, and to hear stories from your games!

Happy Digital Release Day! FAQ and More...
over 1 year ago – Wed, Jul 23, 2025 at 02:08:40 PM

Hello, intrepid adventurers! As many of you know, today is our early digital release for the Cosmere RPG Stormlight Campaign Setting! Since early this morning, over 850,000 files have been distributed to our backers — and with such a large file distribution, we've experienced a few hiccups along the way. Luckily, our hardworking team is working through all of those issues.

We're so excited that you have the digital materials in your hands and that you're already setting up games! We'll use this update to answer some FAQs and help out with VTT support questions. 

But first, let's just take a moment to celebrate this awesome RPG! We're hearing awesome feedback from backers and starting to see some very positive press coverage, like this rave review from ComicBook.com:

Very high praise! Now, let's shift our focus to logistical questions, especially around Virtual Tabletop rewards:

Claiming Your VTT Rewards

If you added any of the enhanced digital PDFs or VTT upgrades to your pledge, then this section is for you! Below you will find a breakdown of how to claim your rewards for each VTT platform! (Please note that VTT upgrades were not included in any of the pledge levels, and were only available as add-on. If you didn't add VTTs to your order, you can visit Roll20/Demiplane, Foundry, and Fantasy Grounds to get the Cosmere RPG online today!)

Before beginning any of the steps listed below, you will need to access your VTT code through your Digital Downloads on Backerkit. There you will find access key(s) for your chosen VTT. Once you have found your code, follow the instructions for your chosen VTT below:

Demiplane/Roll20

The team at Demiplane shared this helpful doc on accessing Cosmere RPG content on Demiplane, Roll20, and DriveThruRPG! However, if you added a VTT upgrade to your pledge, you will need to first input your URL code to get your content. To proceed, simply click the URL or copy it into your browser, which will then direct you to a checkout page on DriveThruRPG with a total of $0.00. Once you finish the "checkout" process, you will have your Cosmere RPG VTT content linked to your account!

Fantasy Grounds

To unlock your Fantasy Grounds VTT content, go to FantasyGrounds.com and visit Store > Activate a Product to log in and enter your unique key for each product. Open the Fantasy Grounds VTT application and be sure to click the 'Check for Updates' button before launching your session to ensure you pull in your Cosmere RPG content. You can also follow this guide on key activation.

Foundry

To unlock your Foundry content, head to FoundryVTT.com. Log in to your account, and click on your user profile in the upper-right-hand corner. Once there, click "Purchased Content" and input your content key for each module you have purchased. You can also follow this guide for content activation. Don't forget to download the free Cosmere RPG system once you get started!

If you're having additional issues with your VTT integration beyond receiving your content keys and codes, please reach out to the respective VTT platform with your issue:

• Roll20/Demiplane
• Foundry
• Fantasy Grounds

Problems and Solutions

With the complexity of this rollout, we have run into a few complications while delivering these files to our 55,000+ backers! Along the way, we've had some issues that have been addressed or are actively getting resolved:

Duplicate PDFs

In general, PDF distribution has gone smoothly! However, a lot of backers are reporting duplicate PDFs, like receiving a "World Guide Part 2" file that's just a copy of the original. These were a result of how we had to break down pledge rewards for complex orders. You can simply ignore the extra copies. Our apologies for any confusion! 

STL Files

We have been made aware of two issues with the new miniatures STL bundle: the Chull file is missing from that set (though it is included in the "2024 Miniatures" set). We're also hearing that the Skybreaker STL isn't opening properly. We're working to update these files, which we should be able to place in your BackerKit Digital Downloads within the next 48 hours. 

VTT Codes

Distributing VTT codes took much longer than expected. We have worked with BackerKit on this, and your VTT codes should now be in your BackerKit account! If you still have your VTT code as "pending," please reach out to our support team!

Foundry Version

Our talented Foundry team has been working for the past year on the first release of Stormlight Campaign Setting rules for the Cosmere RPG. Toward the end of this time, Foundry shifted from v12 to v13, but for the sake of stability our Foundry module is still v12-compatible. If you're only using Foundry for Cosmere games, you should install v12. Otherwise, it's possible to have both versions installed (with v13 as a "portable" installation). Either way, the Foundry implementation is excellent! The team's top priority after launch is v13 compatibility, which should be in place before the physical books ship. 

Bridge Nine

The Bridge Nine adventure includes an adventure PDF and a printable handout of maps and tokens. It should also include a PDF of pregenerated characters, but they were initially missing from Digital Downloads. Those files should now be available in BackerKit, and are also available on our website.

The First Step VTT Module

Initially, The First Step was not included in any of the VTT packages since this adventure is a "theater of the mind" module with only one short battle. But after listening to backer feedback, we are now including The First Step in the Digital-Only Set and the GM Enhanced Digital upgrade! Over the next 24 hours, we'll add that code to every eligible backer's Digital Downloads.

Digital GM Screen

We've heard from a lot of backers who wanted a digital version of the GM screen, and we're making that happen! A digital, print-ready version of the GM screen will be added for anyone whose pledge has the GM screen in their order. You should now download this file in your BackerKit Digital Downloads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I noticed an issue/typo in one of the books. Where do I submit feedback?
A: We appreciate your feedback! Please use our Cosmere RPG Issue Reporting Form for all typos, bugs, and other issues in the book contents.

Q: I received duplicate files! What do I do?
You may see duplicate PDFs in your Digital Downloads. For example, you may see 2 or 3 copies of the Stormlight Handbook. Please simply ignore the duplicate files; this is just how the system processed the SKUs.

Q: The PDFs are cool, but when are we getting the physical items?
A: All Stormlight rewards are on the way to the six fulfillment zones, which means that we are well on track to begin fulfillment in September! If you're regretting not getting a physical book as a part of your pre-order, no need to worry. There will be a traditional retail release in Q4 of this year, just in time for the holidays!

Q: Where can we find digital resources for the Cosmere RPG?
A: Just head to the Resources & Downloads page at CosmereRPG.com! We've got a brand-new website ready for this release, with some awesome downloads, including form-fillable character sheets and streaming assets for actual play groups. Stay tuned for more downloads in the future.

Q: Where can I find the solo rules for The First Step?
A: You can find the solo content for The First Step on our website: www.cosmererpg.com/the-first-step

Q: When are we getting Chasmfiend 2 and Speak the Words?
A: We are sending the Stormlight Summer Add-Ons on Friday, July 25th!

Q: What about Advanced Adversaries, Stormlight Scenarios, and Showdown in Shadesmar?
A: Those are later releases. Look for the first two e-supplements in September! Showdown in Shadesmar will be delivered in Fall 2026 (after Mistborn rewards in the summer).

Q: Can I upload content about the Cosmere RPG on my YouTube channel, podcast, or personal website?
A: The short answer is yes! You'll want to check out our Fan Content Policy for the full information.

That's it for now! The Brotherwise and RPG team will be around to answer any questions on here, in the Cosmere RPG Discord, and the Cosmere RPG subreddit! We're also looking forward to the Stormlight Summer Add-Ons release this Friday, along with our digital launch party on Discord.

We hope you're enjoying your first look at the system! If you have any feedback on your experience so far, please share it with the team by posting here in the Comments. We'd love to know what you think of the Cosmere RPG!
