The Mistborn tabletop RPG has been highly anticipated for quite some time, and now it is here, available for preorder from August 4th through the 7th. That weekend also corresponds to Gen-Con, and if you go at Gen-Con, you get the sexy cover image as a poster, which Ben McSweeney (aka Inkthinker) made. He also made 30 other illustrations in the book, and if the cover is anything to judge, it will be awesome. I want that poster. I want it badly. If you happen to go to Gen-Con, I will bribe you.

The price for the game is $50, but it's well worth it. Why? Because there's new material from Brandon. From the site:

Based on the best-selling novels by Brandon Sanderson and powered by an all new story-driven rules system, the Mistborn Adventure Game lets you explore, command, or liberate the oppressed world of Scadrial, battle the Lord Ruler’s Inquisitors, and master the primal forces of Allomancy, Feruchemy, and Hemalurgy. It features new official fiction from Mr. Sanderson himself and loads of never-before-seen material, making it the ultimate resource for fans of the novels and those who want to experience the Final Empire firsthand.

I strongly suspect that the Gemmel short story will be some of the new fiction. That was supposed to tell the story of how Kelsier broke free from the Pits of Hathsin, and expand Gemmel (Kelsier's mentor) and his background.

The Mistborn Adventure Game is going to be in stores this November, but by preordering the hardcover, you get the electronic version of the full game, as well as a "Mistborn Adventure Game Primer." So while the hardcover will ship as soon as it is back from the printer, the electronic copies will be sent when they are finalized (presumably sooner than November).

UPDATE: Peter has stated on Timewaster's Guide that there will be additional Feruchemical properties revealed in the RPG.

UPDATE 2: Brandon has confirmed that this is indeed where the Kelsier-Gemmel short story will be.
