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?

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!

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.

On this episode of SpanReads, we are onto talking about Mistborn: Secret History! Spoilers for Era 1 in this one. Since it's a shorter work, we are doing just two episodes, and this one is on our recap and reactions, as well as characters and relationshops!

On this episode of SpanReads, we are discussing cosmere implications of The Hero of Ages! FULL cosmere spoilers (except Secret Projects and SA5 prologue). Next week, we are onto Mistborn: Secret History!

Feels like we haven't had one of these posts in some time, doesn't it? In reality it's only been ~3 weeks but it feels nice to get back to something resembling a normal schedule. Nothing lasts, unfortunately, as we have something like 8 commissions in the works right now (many of which are simple, but still), but that's a problem for future mysterious-author-of-these-posts, not present mysterious-author-of-these-posts (this sentence makes a lot more sense on Patreon, where you can't check who is writing the posts, just go with it here).

You know how these things work, open the article to see the full art!

Welcome to Diceborn!

This is episode 3 of our new series where we play through a campaign using the Mistborn Adventure Game. What an episode we have for you guys, our crew of plucky miscreants attempt to heist an auction in-progress. Turns out, there's some surprises waiting in store for them... Will they manage to complete their mission before they are discovered?

This episode of SpanReads, we're doing a dive into the magic systems of The Well of Ascension, especially Feruchemy!

Hello, hello, and welcome to this a bit of a... retrospective kind of post. A few months ago we passed an important milestone - one year of monthly art commissions - and we wanted to take a moment and talk about all this, but also showcase everything we've commissioned (in the first year; we've got a few more since then). So take a seat, make yourselves comfortable, maybe pour a drink, and enjoy a brief lookback at some pretty things we manifested into the world by channeling the support of our patrons (of which if you are one, thank you!).

Be wary of spoilers! Also, note that many of the links here lead to either our Patreon page (where you might need to be a patron to see them), or the Coppermind. Just a heads up.

This episode of SpanReads, we're talking about the characters in Well of Ascension, and you bet there's going to be a lot of discussion of everyone's favorite, Zane!

It's finally done, friends. Some of you may have forgotten about this (heck, some of you probably weren't here a year ago when people were voting for this piece), and some of you may have seen it already, but Katie Payne (do make sure to give her Instagram much love) is finally done with this illustration. And, full disclosure, we can't rightfully call it a commission anymore because from the very early sketches it's been clear that this was going to be far larger and more complex than what we had imagined (or planned for). 

Follow us after the break for the full illustration, and also some story time.
