Hello! [Insert appropriate introductory title]

[Arcayenneist]

Hey all,

I've been referencing these forums for a while but figured I needed to get properly involved.

I'm up to speed on all published Cosmere works (most with a few rereads done as well) and I'm starting to work my way through the unpublished ones when I can.
I'm really interested in learning a great deal about the various magic systems and realmatics at a technical level to try to work it into a Cosmere RPG campaign I'm plotting. I'm involved in the Cosmere RPG discord, but I'll need to know a great deal more - most of my table will have a pretty strong physics background (as do I), including one who wants to be an Artifabrian, so I'll need to be able to say what will and what won't work - and why; same goes for surges.

I'm also looking to homebrew in some additional stuff with the other magic systems, so understanding them a little better will help with that.

Thanks for telling us what you've read!

If you could visit anywhere on Roshar for a week, where would you visit and why?

Hm, that's a good question.

There are a few specific places that are spoilers.
I have light enough eyes that any of the Vorin lands are probably not a bad bet for me when it comes to being able to get around and not be thrown in jail for breaking a random law (like would probably happen in Azir), though 100% chance they'd call me Shin. If I have to pick one, I'll probably go for Alethkar just because it feels more interesting to me. If I could study with an Artifabrian that would be awesome.

What is your favorite non-compounding twinborn combination?

Hm, I think the most practical for me would be Bendalloy-A/Zinc-F. You'd likely be able to "cheat" the mental speed by using a speedbubble to allow you to tap only a small amount for a greater chronological effect. It's not really a cheat since you're still using up investiture.
Though, Iron or Steel allomancy would be fun, and Brass feruchemy would be great for summers where I live, and could save a ton on electrical bills for the AC.

Windrunner, with Edgedancer as a close second. I was going to ask yours then realized you had it in your signature!

Is there any forum etiquette regarding signature tags like I've seen? i.e. I know I'm a Windrunner, Ravenclaw, etc. - is there any additional meaning behind that in this forum or just good to go and add them in?
