This week on SpanReads, we are discussing the cosmere implications of Shadows of Self, and ah, there's quite a bit of them!

Lost Metal sample chapters have begun, and so it's time for The Lost Previews to return! These will be coming out weekly. 

Welcome to Episode 9 of Diceborn!

This is Episode 9 of our Mistborn Adventure Game campaign. Our little group make their way to Belltin, with a couple of revelations on the way and some familial encounters awaiting at their destination....

In this inaugural episode of Splintercast (or is it a revival?), we take a look at the Cradle series by Will Wight! As you're used to from Shardcast, there's lots to talk about. Splintercast is a new spin-off series where we discuss media outside Brandon's works and the cosmere. New episodes will come out sporadically, don't expect this to become a regular thing!

Preview season is upon us! Tor has released the first three chapters of the seventh Mistborn book (and the fourth and final book of the Wax and Wayne subseries), The Lost Metal, and will continue releasing new chapters every Monday at 12PM Eastern Time until the book comes out November 15th.

With the high likelihood of cosmere adaptations being announced soon, we thought we would talk about it. We discuss community expectations, what service would get this, potential changes, and more!

It's time to talk about the characters and relationships in Shadows of Self, the second Mistborn Era 2 book!

If you wanted to own figurines of Stormlight's main characters, now's your chance, as Brotherwise Games began their Kickstarer for the Stormlight Premium Miniatures set of minis.

The fourth annual Cosmere Inktober is just around the corner, and we are excited to share the 2022 prompt list!

If you are not familiar with Inktober, it was started as a challenge to practice inking and drawing habits over an entire month. This challenge is a personal journey for artists to follow set prompts and improve on drawing skills but has become a worldwide event with many different versions of prompt lists and themes. This year I have created a list of Cosmere-themed prompts and am posting it early to give fan-artists time to plan ahead

Welcome to Episode 8 of Diceborn!

This is Episode 8 of our Mistborn Adventure Game campaign. It's time to see where this fateful spa day leaves our little crew. Marelyn and Hallie both have unfinished business, will they get the justice they desire?

We're onto Shadows of Self, the second book of Mistborn Era 2! How did it hold up on a reread? Stay tuned to find out!

We've been given the privilege of revealing the design for Jasnah Kholin's miniature in Brotherwise Games' upcoming Stormlight Premium Miniatures Kickstarter. The Kickstarter will go live on September 13th.

This episode of Shardcast, we're talking about the Venli chapters where she's Stoneshaping in Rhythm of War, the implications of the ancient past, and Ars Arcanum info! This is quite a spicy one here, as always happens when we talk about the pre-First Desolation time.

This episode on SpanReads, we are talking about the cosmere implications in The Alloy of Law! Full cosmere spoilers through Rhythm of War here.

Welcome to Episode 7 of Diceborn!

This is Episode 7 of our Mistborn Adventure Game campaign. It's time for a spa day! Relaxation abounds and absolutely no terrible secrets about any crew members are revealed. But the most important question that needs to be answered.... Is who's the boss exactly?

Gamescom 2022, the annual multi-day video game trade show event, started their online reveals and announcements today, and - to the surprise of everyone - we saw a familiar face in one of those announcements! Brandon himself introduced Unknown Worlds' (the creators of the Subnautica games) new turn-based sci-fi digital tabletop strategy game. With minis you can paint? It's called Moonbreaker, and Brandon confirmed on Reddit that this is the project we've seen as Soulburner in a couple of his State of the Sanderson annual blog posts.

Follow us after the break for some more details and the reveal trailer!

We've wanted to do an episode on Navani and Raboniel ever since Rhythm of War came out, and it's finally time we get into it! Let's analyze Navani's character in Rhythm of War, Raboniel and her introduction, and their dynamic together.

This episode of SpanReads, we're talking about the characters and relationships in The Alloy of Law!

Welcome to Diceborn!

This is Episode 6 of our new series where we play through a campaign using the Mistborn Adventure Game. Our crew leaves Elendel on their journey to the Roughs, but sometimes the journey is more important than the destination...

The time has come! The end is nigh!

That is, the time to reveal our next art commission! The end of the wait to see it! This all sounded funnier in my head, but there's no going back, words written in a Patreon post are final and unchangeable. 

So what do we have here? Follow us after the break to find out (it's not that difficult to figure it out though)

It's onto Mistborn Era 2 and The Alloy of Law! Spoilers included for the previous books in the series. But let's talk about how we feel about this book in retrospect!

This episode we continue talking about June spoiler stream Words of Brandon, but since then, there's also been several comments on movie/TV adaptation news, and so we are starting with that today! We even cut in some additional discussion on Brandon's statements on the August stream too!

Yesterday’s livestream had adaptation questions being a common theme, Though Brandon didn’t officially announce anything, he said we’d have news in the coming months, and that he’d be surprised if they weren’t on set this time next year.

On this episode, we're talking about magic and cosmere implications of Mistborn: Secret History! Full cosmere spoilers (except secret projects and SA5 prologue) on this episode.
