Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere RPG is quickly becoming wildly popular among fans of tabletop RPGs, recently released to players who supported the wildly successful Kickstarter campaign. The Cosmere RPG immerses players in The Cosmere, Brandon Sanderson’s elaborate and mystical universe, and gives players a completely original and unique set of D&D-inspired tabletop rules befitting the franchise.
While players have had access to the digital versions of the Cosmere RPG and Kickstarter supporters have been getting their copies over the past few months, physical Cosmere RPG books will finally be available to the public starting on November 12, 2025. Physical copies of the main books in the Cosmere RPG—including both the Stormlight Handbook and World Guide as well as the Stonewalkers campaign and a starter guide—will be available in most major retailers on Wednesday, with pre-orders available now.

Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere RPG physical release comes just ahead of the holiday season, and players who’ve already jumped in via digital avenues are surely going to be eager to get their hands on the hard copy sets. There are three main books and a short starter’s guide that will be available “wherever RPG books are sold,” according to the official Cosmere RPG shop, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Books-A-Million retailers.
The Cosmere RPG’s physical release date was actually originally scheduled for October 29, but was delayed to November 12 “to ensure we have enough stock for mass market AND hobby retailers … [and] to make time for an additional print run,” according to the Cosmere RPG Kickstarter page. While the delay was slightly disappointing for some fans, the wait will finally be over in a few days’ time.
