[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 9719335, member: 87792"] I think Cosmere is inherently niche, with the Cosmere setting having enough books to appeal to Sanderson's fans (hence the Kickstarter success) but also to intimidate non fans. The game itself looks like D&D by way of Genesys. And we've just had a D&D with Genesys influence in the core mechanic (I may find Daggerheart's Duality Dice more elegant than Cosmere's d20+Plot Die but the difference is fairly minor). And Daggerheart has Cosmere mechanically left in the dust in other ways, not least of which being character creation where Daggerheart has raised the bar. Now is not the best time for Cosmere, Dungeon World 2e, or 13th Age 2e. As for Avatar, and bearing in mind that as far as I know I'm the only overlap [LIST=1] [*]I lent my copy to friends who had a campaign late last year and will again [*]One of my clubs recently ran a one shot.
