@@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
"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!
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.
@@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!
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. ^_^
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'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".
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.
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
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 ? 😅
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 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.
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 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?
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.
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

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.

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?”🙂

@@symbolguy3609 Sorta. Check out "it's time to come clean" from Sanderson for an example.
It's insane to me how Brando Sando isn't just the master of plot twists, but real-world twists as well. WTF!!!
My life become yours, my money become yours.
I haven't felt this kind of childish excitement since, well, childhood XD
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.
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!
Is it d20 based?
@@WasatchWind It is! Three core stats tied to skills and actions.
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!
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 ...
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’m particularly excited to hear you’ll do books based on the Mistborn series, I really love that series
I was literally just thinking of trying to homebrew some rpg like this. Glad its happening.
Same!
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
The art looks great!!! I'm going to need this...
Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.
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!
I have no friends to play with, but sounds like a blast!
This is amazing, crossing my fingers they'll have warbreaker
OMG OMG OMG!!! He did it again!!! He tricked us in the best possible way!!! Love you all Dragonsteel and Brotherwise for this oportunity!!!

Brandon Sanderson vs. Eiichiro Oda
Welp, time to Old Yeller my wallet
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'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".
This is a dream come true for me!
Super awesome! I’m a big fan of the cosmere.
Looking Fantastic
The art is so good
I dont think I'd play the game tbh but i want the book
Backed it and I’ve never played a tabletop RPG before. Pretty excited!

same, but the magic man does have good words
My excitement got the better of me, I backed the collectors tier and cannot wait! this is amazing!
It is so fun being a fan in the Cosmere. Sure, I also love other books and series, but this is so sweet😂🎉
this is so awesome.
Stonewalkers, eh? Looking forward to learning more about Shinovar in the next few months!!!
I'm actually giddy with excitement
I haven't read the other books, but I've read Mistborn and it was fantastic! looking forward to this game!
I have never been so happy to spend so much money.
I really wanna know how playing an elantrian and playing an awakener feels
Just as DnD decided to become a video game, Brandon Sanderson, said no worries peeps, I got you 😍
YES! Can't wait to try this out. Love from NZ
NI or SI? We should play 😅
@@geckohecko SI! Would love a group to play this with haha
TAKE MY MONEY NOW
That book looks so cool!!😮😮🎉🎉❤❤
ALL THE PLANETS OF THE COSMERE 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Except Vax
Whelp, time to expend the Sander-shelf
Looks great, super excited to try it out
Floored and so, so excited.
Does this man sleep? No other author spoils their fans like him. Y'all know it's my birthday this month right 👀
The beginning of this trailer was very cheesy, but I am still excited!
I'm so excited!
Will Brotherwise be making other Cosmere related miniatures? Id love to get my hands on a Vin or Galladon.
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
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.
TYPICAL BRANDON!!! More secrets! More lies! More trolling! Shut up and TAKE MY MONEY!!!
Let’s storming go
My body is ready.
Exciting!!!!!!
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 ? 😅

I'm not really into TTRPGs any more, but this is so freakin' COOL! :)
I would love for that Stonewalkers adventure to be later adapted into a comic a la Adventure Zone campaigns
Lets F-ing Go!
Wolverine?
FINALLY !!!!
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!
HYPE! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
impressive
I wonder what the combat will look like!

Know WE can write the stories :D
My wife is gonna divorce me because of Brandon Sanderson.
Laughed loud enough to scare my cat 😂

Was this one of the major things Dan has been working on in his narrative role? This feels like a/the reason Dan might have been brought on full time.
Holy shit
Looks like I have to reread Stormlight again…even tho I just did for Stormlight 5…
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.
Will you be able to add additional add-ons after the campaign ends but before it ships, similar to the words of radiance backerkit?
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.
@@BrotherwiseGames Found it! Thank you!
i cant wait😭😭😭😭😭😭
I'm so excited but also kinda worried because I'm an TTRPG snob and i might hate it mechanically.
I wish all authors had Sanderson work ethic and passion...or at least that Martin jad half
Skyward Flight! Skyward Flight!!
are the books gonna be still available after the kickstarter campaign??
