I’ll start building my Knight Radiant/Feruchemist… now.

My Mistborn-Hemalurgyst-Awakener is ready to grab himself an Honorblade and smack Odium in the name of Harmony

I hope you guys really emphasize the "art book" element, as a hardcore Sanderson fan who has young kids (so no time for rpgs for many years) I wasn't sure I was going to get this, but explaining that this literally replaces an art book is HUGE to me and I'll absolutely be getting the art book tonight

I personally really like the idea that there are no strict classes in cosmere RPG but you organically progress your character.
Reading up on some of the rules it really sounds like it’s combining some of the best elements of 5e (pretty easy to pick up and streamlined play) with some of the best elements of PFE2e (3 action economy, lots of character customization) while also adding plenty of more unique elements like the plot dice.
Really excited to give this a go once it’s out.

I love the idea of an allomacer on Roshar who people think is a Radiant and they just kinda go along with it.

[caleblove]

Definitely would pay good money to see recorded campaign with Brandon as the GM!

[DarthHallow]

I really hope Dragonsteel can pull of a partnership for a season of Dimension 20 or a Critical Role one-shot using this system. Would be so cool and really good marketing for the game! Dont know if its even remotely being considered but I want to see Brennan Lee Mulligan DM a game in Roshar so bad!

[MalachiSillaman]

This is the coolest thing that has happened in the history of ever

[sugasheeze]

This dude is a super nerd and I'm so excited to play this game. You could tell he's spent *a lot* of time thinking about how to integrate the various aspects and mechanics of the Cosmere!

As of August 6 at midnight, this fundraiser has raised 3.9 million dollars! this is amazing 🤩




Technically $3, 877, 940 dollars

Having watched a lot of his streams, I wonder if Sanderson is just signing things in the background of his entire life.

[herrrecht]

I very much appreciate Johnny's knowledge of so many non-DnD games. Always good to have a wide variety of experience with different systems when designing ones own

[Akwyndor]

I can't wait to play this as my first TTRPG and be super lost.

[adamrad]

Take. My. Freaking. Money. My wife and teenage daughter have both read the Mistborn series, and I've read Mistborn, Stormlight, Elantris and Warbreaker. This is so exciting, as we all love good tabletop games as well!

Me on my way to compound luck and always roll nat 20s.

[joeriv]

Now all I need is friends as nerdy as me.

[warrenwise]

Brandon signs so many books that I’m pretty sure unsigned books are rarer than signed books lol

[captain]

As an artist I absolutely am loving all the official looks on things. I'll forever continue sketching things how I envision them in my head as I read new books, but if I make some finished pieces it's extra fun to stay in line with the canon. The Sanderson team really found an amazing party in Brotherwise Games. What a time to be a Cosmere fan!

[That_Eriksson]

Brotherwise guys face is just a CONSTANT grin as the Kickstarter hits like over 5 mill in a few days lol. Glad to see people so happy and excited!

[burningpickle]

D&D is my favorite game of all time and I am so excited to try a TTRPG that has actually cool and not corrupt creators.
