I recommend trying to get to the end of Part 1 (of 5): by then you will be invested or uninterested.

By way of a quick price comparispn: The basic Stormlight dice set is going for $12.99 at Barnes & Noble, they will probably have a non-premium equivalent for Mistborn: Cosmere RPG: Stormlight Archive Basic Dice set The premium Knight Radiant Order dice are going for $40 on Dragonsteel...

If they can use it as a selling point...honestly people vastly overestimate folks willingness to pay for AI slop.

By Sanderson's own estimation, the slowdown for authors is by about 70, but I think he will keep going a bit longer than some because he has built a very robust system of writing habits. About 2040 is probably right for Stormlight, this is the schedule he projected a few weeks ago for the rest...
