@@redhusky7439unfortunately I have to let you know that that world books from this campaign actually act entirely independently of the game and double as official art and lore books for Roshar and Scadrial
It's been so hard keeping this secret over the last year and a half! I think we've really cooked up something great for you all and I can't wait for you to see how this system brings the Cosmere together in a way no game has yet to date.
"Not only does this roleplaying game is actually about the entire cosmere, not just Roshar. And everything in the books is cannon, so even if you don't care about RPGs it'll be a guidebook to facets of the planets not touched on in the books. Did I mention there's a prewritten adventure I wrote that is also canon and ties into one of the most hyped novels in this more than 20 book series?" As usual, Brando delivers more than anyone could have ever asked for.
A textbook example of the proper subverting of expectations like a good game master. Promise something that your players care about, build it up, subvert it in a way that surprises them and may shift their expectations... BUT GIVES THEM WHAT THEY WANT EVEN MORE!!! Companies need to see this more. glad to say i can say to you all, See you all in the cosmere!
@@symbolguy3609 Last time he just out of the blue announced that he had written four extra books in secret, without affecting the planned release dates of any books we knew about. At the same time he announced a monthly swag box that fans could sign up for, running for a year. So... "Pulling a Brandon" - suddenly and unexpectedly revealing that a lot of cool stuff has been happening behind the scenes without anyone realising, and is now heading your way.
@@symbolguy3609Well, Brandon is known for saying things like "During this time I will write a novel that you all will enjoy" and people are like "great Brando" and then he will come and say "Actually I lied, I've written six novels during this time"
I got to try it out at Gen Con and am beyond exciting to see the system that they have created will be applied Cosmere-wide. I cannot wait to stage my own Mistborn vs Radiant encounter!
Great author and teacher. So happy I got to have him teaching my creative writing course in college and I’m super excited to back this project now too!
As someone whose only interaction with the Cosmere is bouncing off the beginning of Way of Kings twice, but who enjoys RPGs and game design: "I like your funny words, magic man."
My wife and I are relatively new to the Cosmere, We have listened to the whole MIstborn era 1 and we are currently in the first third of the Way of Kings, and starting there is difficult... I would recommend you starting with MIstborn, the first book (AKA The FInal Empire), it is not that long, it has a satisfying conclusion and is not as dense as The Way of Kings.
I got half way through the 2nd Mistborn book. 1st was good, second was...not. Haven't bothered with Sanderson since and tbh the pricing for this is absolutely ridiculous. 200 dollars for what you need to play? sorry Sanderson, go fuck yourself, you're not THAT good. and it's just a typical d20 system to boot.
Today I woke up with a new goal, to start saving money, to start restricting my money and do not bug unnecessary things. Well today I am going to sleep with a debt in my credit card because I need the world guides to read more lore and art from my favorite books… love you sando
On behalf of... basically the world, I just wanted to say thank you, Brandon. You've given the world a wonderful gift(your stories and your world I mean), and we appreciate it more than you know. God bless you for that. I hope one day that I can give you my own in return, given it contains any merit at all. ^_^
I'm not even a tabletop RPG player, but the world guides with the art and history was just too good to pass up! Great that there's an option for just "Readers".
Sanderson has absolutely overtaken everyone to hold the mantle of "greatest figure in fantasy." More books, more quality, more content, more connection with fans, more unique endeavors, more delivery altogether than any other author in fantasy by a thousand miles. From the weekly updates to the newly announced Worldhopper's ball at Nexus, to the constant book releases, to the ongoing adaptations behind the scenes, no one is doing it better.
I love Brandon's gentle little reminder that he is the unrivaled master of the Cosmere 🤣'Your choices can't possibly be canon because *I* won't know about them."
I’ve never played D&D, but I love boardgames and Stormlight Archive, knowing that, is it reasonable for me to get into this ? Can it be played with 2 or 3 players ? 😅
Already backed collector pledge as well as the 4 miniature 7 packs for stormlight! Sad I couldn't get the chasmfiend as well as the interlude extra minis from the previous project since I missed that one :( I will be eating humbly for a while after this though XD
This is awesome news! So Kickstarter now, stormlight books in 2025, mistborn books in 2026. Both will have a prewritten adventure as part of the release from what I understand. Is that the desired cadence, a new release every year? I am hoping to get an idea of what release schedule you might shoot for, and if that's a new world, an update to an existing world when a new book is released, like Elantris 2, or a new prewritten adventure. Its already so much but I would love to have an idea on the plan for more prewritten adventures.
I’ve been gifted some of these books a long while ago, but never started reading them because it was daunting, knowing that there’s a LOT of lore and build-up to it. This is pretty much a sign for me to delve in and relinquish my misgivings to a different fantastical story. To me, this sounds like an opportunity to join a living storyline similar to the likes of The Legend of the Five Rings, which I wasn’t old enough to be part of. This is definitely the time, and the time is now. By the way, which is the first book chronologically so I can follow?
Not that I mind having other people involved, but would it be too much trouble to just hire Michael Kramer full-time for any and all voiceover, voice acting, narration work?
Any word on if it will be possible to run a single campaign with PCs from both Mistborn and Stormlight? For example having a Misting and a Knight Radiant in one party? I know it would break the base lore in the setting, but I am sure there are ways for players to make their own take on the world and story so I'm not so concerned about that. Just wondering if the rules for the two, and future rulebooks, are compatible in this way.
From what I have seen it looks like they plan on releasing a Worldhoppers guidebook at some point. They have put thought into keeping things balanced for encounters with mixed investiture users, so Id say yes
I really wish they would make a Lumar campaign where you travel all the seas. My thought when reading Tress was basically that this would make an amazing RPG setting.
I wish this wasn't a Kickstarter, I can't participate because I don't have a credit card. As a German, I hope that there will be a German translation at some point. Until then, I wish all the bakers a lot of fun and the creators a lot of success.
This is incredible! Is there any plan on translating the sourcebooks in other languages? I'd love to play this but my friends are less familiar with English
Right now our focus is on getting English and Spanish for digital pdfs! We will meet with language partners after the Kickstarter to see what we can do in terms of international languages.
I have a question for this, the kickstarter is one thing, but will we be able to buy these things further into the future from a store (online)? Because right now I can't buy, but I would certainly be interested to do so at another time.
Bassed on the retail only package on the Kickstart page I assume so. You'll probably be able to find it on store shelves or on Brandon's website after the kickstarter.
Will you translate it in French too ? :( I’m ok with reading english and so one but not the case for my younger brother, cousins and so one… would be great 🥹🙏🏽
The power Brandon Sanderson has over my bank account needs to be studied
The Cosmere is where all my money goes that would've been spent on AAA games and seeing movies in theaters
Seriously… respectfully, Brandon: Fuck you. Take my money.
@@Lightsprenexacly how i feel. Debating on getting the player or gm package....
This is why I'm Glad I'm not into these types of Games...After spending like 1k on his last campaign my wallet needed a break :,D
@@redhusky7439unfortunately I have to let you know that that world books from this campaign actually act entirely independently of the game and double as official art and lore books for Roshar and Scadrial
wait wait wait...... the stormlight RPG is..... a cosmere RPG?? ????? WOOOT!
It is so Brandon to promise one setting and deliver two.
@@Casey093 2 in this kickstarter. He's promising us Elantris and 'Worldhoppers' books eventually. So... 4+ settings?
@@benjaminkoomen5993
My guess is that they'll probably try to add a new world/class set every 1-2 years after the initial promises are fulfilled
I just took the Knights Radiant quiz, and I’m definitely a Lightweaver.

It's insane to me how Brando Sando isn't just the master of plot twists, but real-world twists as well. WTF!!!
After the year of Sanderson, why am I surprised that Brandon pulled a Brandon. I am so excited to back this, and even more excited to play.
I’m new to his work, so would you please define “pulling a Brandon?”🙂

I haven't felt this kind of childish excitement since, well, childhood XD
I was excited just for Roshar, but now that I know that I could have a character with a magical chicken... I just can't wait!
This is already worth it just for the encyclopedias alone, not to mention a canonical adventure and entire rpg system. Beyond excited for this!
Yes, all the lore hounds and arcanists are salivating now.
As someone with aphantasia I love this as a visual guide.
I had to pause the video for each drawing. Amazing
That's the real bounty for me. I'm hoping to be able to play it at some point, but at the very least, it'll result in tons of awesome Cosmere artwork.
This is Insane! I won't even be surprised if Fromsoft announce their next game is set in the Cosmere.
Or even Larian ...
I’m particularly excited to hear you’ll do books based on the Mistborn series, I really love that series
Great author and teacher. So happy I got to have him teaching my creative writing course in college and I’m super excited to back this project now too!
I'm so excited for the Mistborn stuff. I can't wait to live out my dream of playing as Allomancer Jak 🤠
I was literally just thinking of trying to homebrew some rpg like this. Glad its happening.
Same!

I really wanna know how playing an elantrian and playing an awakener feels
I'm just not looking for new RPGs to play right now, but the fact that this is launching canon setting guide/art books for Cosmere worlds is amazing
I have no friends to play with, but sounds like a blast!
The art looks great!!! I'm going to need this...
One day, i'll be playing this rpg with my party at the top of Elantris using the magic of the AonDor... will be EPIC!

Will Brotherwise be making other Cosmere related miniatures? Id love to get my hands on a Vin or Galladon.
I dont think I'd play the game tbh but i want the book
Just as DnD decided to become a video game, Brandon Sanderson, said no worries peeps, I got you 😍
It is so fun being a fan in the Cosmere. Sure, I also love other books and series, but this is so sweet😂🎉
My excitement got the better of me, I backed the collectors tier and cannot wait! this is amazing!
Super awesome! I’m a big fan of the cosmere.
Backed it and I’ve never played a tabletop RPG before. Pretty excited!
The art is so good
This is a dream come true for me!
I haven't read the other books, but I've read Mistborn and it was fantastic! looking forward to this game!
Stonewalkers, eh? Looking forward to learning more about Shinovar in the next few months!!!
I’ve never played D&D, but I love boardgames and Stormlight Archive, knowing that, is it reasonable for me to get into this ? Can it be played with 2 or 3 players ? 😅
Does this man sleep? No other author spoils their fans like him. Y'all know it's my birthday this month right 👀

I believe some of those minis are up on the dragonsteel website right now. Might be worth looking at.
Not to kill your wallet completely, but I think you can get the chasmfiend on his website.
I have never been so happy to spend so much money.
Let’s go! So hyped for this
I'm actually giddy with excitement
ALL THE PLANETS OF THE COSMERE 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Except Vax
This is awesome. Will there be any kind of audiobook version for people who are only interested in the lore? And the canonical adventures?
Omg that would be amazing
I would love an audiobook version!
TYPICAL BRANDON!!! More secrets! More lies! More trolling! Shut up and TAKE MY MONEY!!!
I would love for that Stonewalkers adventure to be later adapted into a comic a la Adventure Zone campaigns
The beginning of this trailer was very cheesy, but I am still excited!

Looks great, super excited to try it out
Will you be able to add additional add-ons after the campaign ends but before it ships, similar to the words of radiance backerkit?
There arent enough letters in the alphabet to stop this guy
Floored and so, so excited.
The only next logical step is adapting this universe to television. Whether it be animated or live action.
Will those of us who aren’t big RPG players be able to obtain just the stonewalker story (ideally in digital form)?
As I watched this, the Kickstarter went over NZ$1 million.
Just passed 1 million USD!
2 million!
3 million!!!
over 1200% funded.
At this rate this will go over 9000!
Over 9 million NZ$ now. Wow!
Sounds awesome! Sooo we can break the game only after production... when we get the digital stuff? Open Beta?
I saw Fantasy Grounds has a digital open beta out already in the kickstarter's resources tab
We have been in alpha playtestng for more than a year! Beta rules and playsets are available for free via our digital partners.
