Does Anyone Care? (Cosmere RPG)

[Parmandur]

My interest in this book is…compounding.

OK, correction: apparently the Miatvprn Rulebook is only about 400 pages, juat slightly longer than the Stormlight one, bkt Mistborn Legacy, the dual era Campaign thst sees the party run Era 1 Charac8and then create a new party of their Era 2 descendents, will be 50% longer than the Stonewalkers Campaign for Stormlight.

From Instagram, here is a photo of the 400 player Epic Stormlight Bronze Age module being run at Dragonsteel.

Alright, found some relevant photos from the Con panel on the official Discord:

Looks like the Warrior and Hunter talent trees are substantially different (and, hey, Kolos-born):

And some info on the Misting Talent trees and Tin talent trees, @TwoSix, seems that Allomancy and Feruchemy will be bigger batch Skills, with talent trees creating differences between characters:

A reminder of the Cosmere RPG games coming after Mistborn, which will be straight to retail releases:

And some Plotweaver preview images:

Yeah, considering the recent update, and Johnny O'Neal having stated they would be starting playtests soon, I think there will be more coming anon.

Sanderson has sold over 50 million books, and I’m still amused by the whole “does anyone care” shtick.

In a world where the market is 80% dominated by 5e it's easy for TTRPG enthusiasts to overlook the Cosmere RPG.

Added to that Sanderson and Brotherwise Games are really focused on the serving the existing Sanderson market over traditional TTRPG spaces. That all the big announcements came out of a Sanderson con that's completely off the radar for most gamers tells you everything you need to know about the Cosmere's marketing strategy.

Something to that: Barnes & Noble seems to be pushing the Cosmere RPG stuff fairly hard.

They have made an Instagram account for Plotweaver now, so they are gearing up for something...

A more thorough report on the Dragonstewl panel linked below, with pictures, this quote is of interest:

"There is a Misting or Mistborn path, allowing you better enhance your use of metals, and then individual small trees for each metal. As a point of comparison, Tin Allomancy has 6 talents while the Adhesion surge has 8 talents. It's uncertain whether all metallic arts across Allomancy and Feruchemcy will have only 6 talents or whether some will have more or less."

"Interestingly, in testing, most players chose not to play Mistborn. The alure of being able to go deeper in to the metallic arts was more attractive than being able to do a little bit in every metal."

Yea, that doesn't shock me. The synergies between the more limited power sets like Wax and Wayne, or the weirdness of Misting savants like Spook or Miles is something that can be explored. Mistborn were pretty well illustrated by the first trilogy.

It's sorta like nobody really wants to make a Superman knockoff in a supers TTRPG.
