The pre-launch page for the upcoming Stormlight RPG Kickstarter is now live! You visit it to get notified as soon as the campaign itself goes live on August 6, but Brotherwise Games - the company behind this project - revealed a few extra tidbits on Reddit and X, which we have collected for you here.

For, we gotta start with the art, I mean, just look at this thing!

This gorgeous original illustration by Ekaterina Burmak as just one of "hundreds of new illustrations from some of the industry's most talented artists," says Johnny O'Neal, co-founder of Brotherwise. 

Other little reveals include:

  • The Stormlight RPG has been made in collaboration with Dan (Wells) and Brandon himself, so it is meant to be 100% canonical - including some brand new lore!
  • The game system is an original one, created by an all-star team includes designers, writers, and editors for games such as Dungeons & Dragons, Star Wars: Edge of the Empire, and Legend of the Five Rings
  • The game will include - and launch with - a Handbook, a World Guide, and a hardcover adventure. Pledges for the campaign will start with PDFs, so backers on a budget will still be able to get their hands on all the material.
  • Beta testing materials (which include detailed rules, character building tools, and a free introductory adventure) will be made available with the launch of the campaign
  • Integration with VTTs (virtual tabletop simulators) is planned, and more details will be revealed closer to the launch of the Kickstarter
  • Johnny revealed an updated character sheet, and also promises new information on less well-known singer forms, like relayform and nightform!

More might show up in the comments of the Reddit announcement,so you can keep an eye on that if you'd like.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a half-Shin half Azish ex-ardent Edgedancer turned to Odium but then redeemed and reformed as a Stoneward who lives in Shadesmar to build...

Even if I can never find anyone to play with, hey the lore will be cool.

Sadly most members of my usual pen and paper group have not read stormlight, so I'll have yet to see if they want to try the system anyway. But I managed to get my husband to read the books (he's currently in the middle of Rhythm of War) so if the system works for campaigns with just one player, I'm all set!
