Forum for General Cosmere discussion?

[Paladin Brewer he/him]

Just curious, there are forums for all the books but not a general Cosmere discussion forum for topics that do not necessarily fit neatly into one book, but rather the Cosmere as a whole?

It sounds like you’re looking for Cosmere Theories. It’s for all Cosmere discussion (with the exception of unpublished works), not just theories. Fair warning, it’s full of untagged Cosmere spoilers.

I rather figured that forum was only for posting theories and not also general discussion/questions. Otherwise the description is not very specific

[luckat she/her]

Sure, the description says theories. In practice, however, it is used for all Cosmere discussion, including questions, information collection, cross-world fights, and power applications. Also, the line between a theory and a discussion can be thin. Theories often prompt discussion. Discussion can be founded on an observation that isn't a full-blown theory, and that discussion can in turn cultivate new theories. Calling it "Cosmere Theories" emphasizes the more serious tone usually found there.

 

The General Brandon Discussion is sometimes a better place for things that are less serious or that include non-Cosmere books, but usually any discussion about the Cosmere, especially if it involves spoilers, belongs in Cosmere Theories.

We may consider changing the title of that board to Cosmere Discussion.
