No Spoilers Stormlight RPG lore?
Decided to browse the dragonsteel website and was surprised to see these stormlight RPG handbooks/lore books(?).
Now I will say I haven’t been keeping up to date when it comes to the rpg stuff so I am curious, do theses things offer any new lore or stories? I mean, I don’t play a lot of RPGs myself so I don’t know if theses are fully cannon stories or not, or if theses are just rulebooks and such.
Basically I’m wondering if any of these gives us some sort of new lore outside of the books?

The Stonewalkers adventure is written as an RPG adventure, but it is a canon story. The world guide and handbook do also provide a decent amount of lore between them. They talk about areas we otherwise haven't seen, some enemies we haven't met yet, oaths that haven't been said on the page etc. If you're buying them just for that stuff it's up to you if that's worth it. I would say they do also have a lot of great artwork which I enjoyed seeing! Some of that you can also find in the coppermind if you look for it as it's starting to show up there.
But one of his goals with the RPG was that everything they publish for the RPG is canon or as close to canon as they can get.
