Heya! New to shardcast - love mistborn

[Iamgroot]

Hello! Iamgroot here. I have read Mistborn Era 1, Alloy of Law, Shadows of Self, Elantris, Emperor's soul and has just finished Wok.

I love mistborn especially, and am excited to continue to explore the Cosmere.

Hi! Welcome to the Shard! I’m Dragonheir. It’s nice to meet you.

Do you have a favorite character to read about? What power would you want in real life? What about if you were transported to the book it was from? 
What things are you knowledgeable about or interested in other than Brandon Sanderson books? 
What things do you plan to do on the Shard? I can give some recommendations if you want. Also, if you type in white text, you can send secret messages. Don’t take the cookies!

Hello! Welcome to the Shard! 

Would you like a cookie? Don't worry about ingredients, others have enjoyed them too.

Welcome to the Shard!

Don't touch the cookies!

Hey there, fellow Sanderfan!! Welcome to the Shard! 

If you could visit any country on Roshar for a week, which country would you visit and why?

DON'T EAT THE COOKIES.

Welcome to the Shard. If you had to have one power what would it be?

Thanks, I particularly love Tensoon and Sazed! I also really like Dalinar and respect him a lot.

I want to read Warbreaker. And Bands of Mourning before Secret History. Also the rest of Stormlight. So a lot.

I don't know about specific power. But I think it'd be really cool to be a Feruchemist.

I don't really know too much about the Shard. Do you have any recommendations?

Wait why? Why are there so many people telling me not to touch/eat cookies? 
What will happen?

I like to come up with shenanigans with the magic systems, then I share them here, because I don’t know many people IRL who read Sanderson books. I’ve also been playing in the Cosmere Hunger Games, which are pretty fun. You could join the next round; the section is at the very bottom of the forum pages, with the other role playing threads. (You could also join a different one) Reading and occasionally disproving other people’s theories is fun too.

Each of the stormlight books has a different flashback character. I think Dalinar’s is book three. TenSoon’s plot, personality, and powers are all interesting to read about, as are Sazed’s. (That was a weird sentence structure, sorry)

Feruchemy is probably the most practical power for everyday life, in my opinion.

Thanks so much! Yeah same, I actually don't know anyone who has read Sanderson in real life.  Woah, I've had a look and the Hunger Game seems like so much fun. But I feel like I don't know enough about the Cosmere to participate. I've only read Way of Kings in Stormlight, and haven't read Warbreaker, BoM, Lost Metal or Secret History yet. Is this going to be a problem?

Generally, the game is only on one planet. I don’t think we’ve done an elantris game yet… I think you’re probably fine, especially since the next game will be a little while from now. You might be able to find and read whatever book the next one is before it starts.
