I wish to join a game.

[CoderDrag0n8 He/They]

I will be buying the PDFs soon, but I first need to see how I could join any games of Cosmere RPG online.

There are various online platforms where you can play virtually, such as Foundry. When you buy the PDFs, look for packages that also give you access to those services.

And more generally, if you’re looking for a group or have questions about logistics, you’ll have better luck asking on the game’s Discord. There’s also a subreddit.

... I don't have discord. I will check them out.

Wait. I just checked, and you have to either pay $10 extra for access to Roll20 and Demiplane or just never get the PDFs in the first place!

WHAT?

You can get just the PDFs with no VTT extras. It should be an option on Brotherwise’s store page on DriveThruRPG.

Can you still play Cosmere RPG on Demiplane or Roll20 if you only have the PDFs?

How would you play online if you only have the PDFs then?

No, I’m pretty sure if you want to use platforms like Roll20 you’re going to have to pay extra. I meant that if you want only the PDFs, to read or to play in person, you don’t need to pay the extra.

(Please note that I am by no means an expert, you should probably look into this stuff yourself to make sure you know what you’re getting before you make a purchase)

Aw darn it. Its $10 extra each if you want the PDFs and the Demiplane/Roll20. Thats sad. *sad face*. I'll figure it out.

(I am. I have been actively searching for cheaper options throughout this converstation.

Do we all gotta buy it or does just one person gotta buy it?

No idea.

I think you also have to buy Foundry to play online.

Ah

[DSCrankshaw]

One person needs to own Foundry, usually the GM. Other players can join without buying Foundry. Roll20 is similar. As long as the GM owns the materials, players can use them without paying.

I wish I knew this (I bought the bundle for an extra $20 so I could have Roll20 and Demiplane)

[DSCrankshaw]

I found Demiplane was really helpful for just being able to read the rules as I travel.

Oh I have the PDFs (and the Demiplane/Roll20) (and still haven't read all the rules, but I have an idea for a character)

Who wants to be the GM then?

Not it

[DSCrankshaw]

I would recommend someone with experience GMing other systems, as the Cosmere RPG is one of the more complex ones (I'd rate it between D&D 5e and Pathfinder 2e), and you want someone who has a reasonable foundation.

I don't think I could do a live play right now. I might be willing to GM a play-by-post or play-by-chat.

I have had some experience DM/GMing DND 5e, but I'm not very competent.

[TwinStorm He/Him]

dropping in to say that there are plenty of professional GMs I'm sure you could fin around.
