November 28, 2025 Episode 187: SPECIAL Part 2: Cosmere Celebrity RPG One-Shot | The Cost of War
Your favorite content creators are dropped straight into the heart of the Cosmere: an Emuli battlefield on Roshar, set shortly before the events of Rhythm of War.

To reach their goal, they will descend into hidden tunnels, face nightmares on the front lines, and make choices that could save thousands… or cost more than any of them are willing to pay.
