Use this post to talk about games that deal with Brandon's IPs that don't have a dedicated post. This includes, but is not necessarily limited to the Mistborn Deckbuilding Game, Mistborn Adventure Game, Call to Adventure: The Stormlight Archive, Mistborn: House War, The Reckoners board game, Moonbreaker, Escape the Shattered Plains VR experience, the Skyward Go Fish and other card decks, and upcoming works such as Shards of Creation, and any video game adaptations. While you can talk about the Cosmere RPG here, we recommend you use #1391790178435207290 instead.

Spoiler Policy

Since Brandon has both Cosmere and non-Cosmere games, this channel allows untagged spoilers for both... but we ask that you extend courtesy to people who might not be fully caught up, and spoiler-tag any significant spoilers, reveals, twists, etc. In addition, the gaming "channels" are not the place to have extensive conversations about Brandon's books; they are a place to talk about the games. So if we find the conversations are becoming too book-focused for too long, we may ask people to go somewhere more appropriate, like #cosmere or #stormlight.

Nice! 👍

#

the figurines tempt me, but I am saved by only moderately liking Reckoners

So how long until we can anticipate Dicelight Archives

#

We're still anticipating Diceborn season 2

#

So no anticipating until that season finale comes out

Well, I missed it. It does seem like an odd bit of lore to include for the first time in a world guide

Thank you brother wise for making Liss look like this

#

Also she kind of looks like Aabria Iyengar. Maybe the artists used her as a model or inspiration?

WoT/Dune ||Since we have an apocalypse/major civil war do we think this is Brandon going for the Bene Gesserit or Aes Sedai? I am betting the former because Brandon really has a thing for Dune and Roshar reeks of it||

#

||I think Aes Sedai simply because that’s been a bigger part of his career||

Cool! I guess it makes sense they didnt give zane steel because they already gave it to kelsier

After over three months of waiting, everyone is back in town and so my next MAG session is tonight!

#

I’m super excited, can’t wait to torture my players more ☺️

#

Last night’s session went really well. It was almost entirely roleplay so I had little to do, but we got the party back together and mended most of the relationships

#

Now everyone is happy again, just in time for me to hurt them so bad ☺️

Working on an digital version of the mistborn deckbuilding game (never going public sry.) and i noticed that the rules are silent on when persistent abilities, which you gain at the end of missions, trigger. I am deciding to trigger after training, but its worth a note if any of the designers are here.

#

Just had a very intense and wonderful MAG session

#

Ended with an inquisitor landing on the party’s ship. The next session is gonna be very fun

i honestly dont know

#

Ive run into a question. Does Noble have a top ability? The positioning of the text makes me think it doesn't

Looking for anyone who cloud dm me picks if 10random cards from the market deck

#

So, played the Mistborn Deckbuilding Game for the first time finally last night. The target is sure a strange mechanic...

fresh panther
#

I personally like it. I feel that it adds a bit of risk/reward for being the target

junior sage
#

Strange good or strange bad lol

remote warren
#

Strange strange.

junior sage
#

I've only played mb db once and it was 2 player so I haven't used it yet

remote warren
#

It mostly meant that I won because the other two players couldn't attack me because I didn't have the target for most of the game.

#

Hard to say whether I think it works after only one game, of course.

junior sage
#

What's the rule for passing it again? When you take damage you can send to who?

remote warren
#

To whoever you want.

#

So at most I kept it for one attack after receiving it, and then I never attacked anyone and just climbed up all the Mission tracks.

Just defeated the Lord Ruler (4 players) with like one round to spare 😅
First time managing with more than 2 players

#

Did my first ever play on Mistborn Deckbuilding Game. First run so I'm sure I got some rules and details mixed up and how certain mechanics interact but I should have had a good grasp on it.

Very fun! But good lord it was buttclenching as the Dominance kept going up.

I am just satisfied it ended in a victory from the jaws of near defeat in this fashion. Can't think of a more thematic play for Kel against LR (burned Atium for Ruin, Maelstrom card tied to Kel's climatic moment in TFE, Survive card and a card that depicts the skaa rebellion near the end of book 1. That and also dealing 16 damage to end it.)

I will have to go over the rules again and look up stuff cause I surely misunderstood some stuff. But overall, fun ass game. Loved it. Looking forward to doing more especially with others.

You ever think about how this artist fancasted shan as zendaya

#

Yesterday we had a really insane 4 player competitive game, one player died and the next turn the other three had one health each

#

We had to check the rules to remind ourselves what happens to the extra damage when you kill a player (you can use it on a different player)

#

(I won cause I had 15 damage that turn lol)

#

Usually our games end from the mission tracks and the player after me was only 3 moves away from winning that way

junior sage
#

I've only played twice but it was pretty fun

#

I did 4 player with my family over the holidays, my dad played kelsier and did like 12 damage aoe

rich thistle
#

I'm a Shan main personally

#

Love going insane with money and extra cards

junior sage
#

I miscalculated and did a big mission track turn when I thought I could win, but I was a couple points away, so then everyone targeted me lmao

#

I've played once, co-op, and it was kinda rough but maybe pvp would be more fun/balanced

fresh panther
#

Ive only done 1v1 pvp, besides one 4 player pvp demo at dragonsteel. It definitely feels very good for pvp

rich thistle
#

You always gotta play the very easiest difficulty if you have 4 and even then it's somewhat down to luck, especially what cards you have the chance to get

#

Pvp is more consistent but I like both

turbid briar
#

I don't remember difficulty settings, I'm assuming we played easy or at least whatever passes for normal difficulty? It never felt even close 😅

#

Fewer players might also be nice to try yeah

Mistborn Deckbuilding Game, to be clear

rich thistle
#

I meant what event though lol

rich thistle
#

I found it, it was at gencon

inland canopy
#

how do you think the Mistborn RPG will handle compounding fortune?

remote warren
#

That would require me to have any clue how it will handle normal Fortune.

topaz junco
#

I don't think there will be any special rules for different kinds of compounding

turbid briar
rich thistle
#

so

#

i think maybe they were added in a future printing

#

based on the fact that ive seen some pictures of a little supplemental pack which has a rule card and additional dominance cards

#

but ours came with it in the base box

turbid briar
#

I played with my mom and we implemented a couple of house rules of TLR taking his turn after we both took a turn instead of between each of ours, and had him heal a little less, and that definitely helped. I think it also helped that we got lucky and pulled way more adversaries than edicts, and could deal with the bad adversaries within a turn or two

#

we actually won this time

rich thistle
#

nice job

#

my brothers have beaten extreme in a two player game but i havent done any 2 player coop

#

we've been mostly competitive lately

turbid briar
#

the game was definitely a lot more fun when I 1. understood things a little better (still had to refresh myself on a lot bc I forgot but what I did know came back to me quicker) and when it didn't feel entirely out of reach the whole time XD like it took some time to get there, but we got there

rich thistle
#

its probably in the top 3 most complicated board games ive ever played

turbid briar
#

I want to at least try competitive but I'm not sure how much I'll like it, it can go either way for me on pvp games

#

my brother wins a lot and he says his one step algorithm is buy whichever card has a move on it

#

lol

#

but we all enjoy it a lot

TWOK is huge in that Dalinar mini lmao

#

Kinda impressive he can casually hold a book like that in one hand

remote warren
#

And they pulled it, so as not to take focus away from the Wheel of Time game instead.

Huh

#

Interesting

#

Played mistborn house war for the first time

#

It was pretty fun
