Yes. It’s called the Plotweaver system, they promised an OGL for it, nothing so far on if any existing OGL options will be used or if, like the game system, the OGL will be customizable.

Mild Warbreaker spoilers. It's canon that metal can be Awakened, and when awakened it becomes a self-aware entity with a unique personality. This means, theoretically, you could have a suit of Awakened armor. If that armor can move autonomously, that means you could absolutely have it as a...

If I ended up liking this system to follow it outside of the Cosmere web, and if it expanded outside the Cosmere, I would be disappointed if everything was licensed IP. That would mean I most likely would never get to make content directly for one of the games—shaving off identification numbers...

I'm quite excited, too—although I am most thrilled for the (probably years down the line) Warbreaker installment.

@Parmandur, you're really becoming the prophet of this campaign here on Enworld.

For anyone who cares, Brotherwise has named this system the "Plotweaver" system. There is no suggestion at this time of any plans to use this system outside the Cosmere, but they are producing an OGL for the Plotweaver system (NOT including anything Cosmere), so they are at least laying the...

Really goes to show the power of an existing audience when Kickstarting anything. Sure, some people are able to build an audience in Kickstarter, but my understanding is that's the exception rather than the rule...

Did not know Avatar Legends used Powered by the Apocalypse. That's how far out of that community I am. Oh! I actually have Call to Adventure, all three versions—classic "DnD-esque," Stormlight, and Name of the Wind. I had forgotten about those. Interesting. Well, I absolutely agree with you...

As far as I am aware, he (and his team at Dragonsteel) are among the best at being chill with non-commercial fan content. But I am also not in the community churning out fan content for the books, so I only have vision from the periphery.

Oh yeah, I agree. But it's not mutually exclusive to fully understand that and think, "It would be nice if they figured out a way to make this an option, at least without requiring me to file the serial numbers off." "It would be nice"s generally don't happen, though, and aren't worth getting...

Well, that's what I get for missing the livestream. I quite like skill-based magic, so I am very onboard with this.

Where I stand: I'm going to homebrew/create content no matter what system I play in. I really enjoy being able to make content that I can then sell (done a little of that with A5e), but it's not a deal-breaker for me—I've also made quite a few things that I just share freely, although that stuff...

Kickstarter Day 3 comment by Matt M, made August 8th, snippet below: (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/brotherwise/the-stormlight-archive-rpg/comments) TLDR: Brotherwise Games is calling the underlying game system of the Cosmere RPG the "Plotweaver™ System". Brotherwise and Dragonsteel...

They've confirmed that each setting book will get a magic system that works best for that setting, and that they've already sketched something out for multiple settings to help ensure everything can work in their unique ruleset. Off the top of my head, Surgebinding from Stormlight Archives will...

Stormlight Archives, the first era, completes this year—in about two months, I think. Sanderson has been extremely open about his work progress, and it's just about a polished final draft. (I don't remember the exact stage it's in based on his self-reporting on his YouTube channel, but that's...

I have found myself extremely invested in many Sanderson stories, and many Sanderson characters. I don't entirely agree with this statement, although I do completely agree that setting and magic systems are a core part of the Sanderson appeal, and thus very important to the majority of the audience.

From my reading of the rules, fairly baked in... But that only matters so far as you care about flavor or light homebrew. Most of the basic heroic paths appear to be general enough that you could put them on any world without tweaking. Surgebinding is pretty specific to Roshar, which doesn't...

Most of the background story happens in Mistborn and Stormlight Archives—and we've been promised that the Elantris sequels will do this as well. Those are the core series for the "Background Thanos MCU–type story" going on. That said, as an avid Sanderson reader, I don't notice most of the...

And that is an extremely fair criticism. I don't even try to deny it. I know there are BookTubers. and BookTokkers who make videos on entry points and reading orders, but that doesn't appeal to everyone. It doesn't appeal to me at all. Here's my pitch. If you want something that kinda feels...
