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!
This episode we continue talking about June spoiler stream Words of Brandon, but since then, there's also been several comments on movie/TV adaptation news, and so we are starting with that today! We even cut in some additional discussion on Brandon's statements on the August stream too!
Yesterday’s livestream had adaptation questions being a common theme, Though Brandon didn’t officially announce anything, he said we’d have news in the coming months, and that he’d be surprised if they weren’t on set this time next year.
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!
It's time for Words of Brandon on the June 2022 spoiler stream! This part one of two, so stay tuned next week for movie things. In this episode, we discuss some insane things about silver, Nightblood stomach mechanics, the return of asterisk, and... flavors of Investiture? Like what they all taste like, not a Spiritual thing. WoB episodes are wild.
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 5 of our new series where we play through a campaign using the Mistborn Adventure Game. This episode sees our crew wrap up some loose ends before leaving Elendel. And by wrap up, I mean stick their heads into something way too big for them to handle.
We recently hit 17,000 subscribers on YouTube, which for us being the 17th Shard is a pretty cool milestone! We're doing a stream to celebrate! There will be chatter, there will be fun! Starts July 17th (obviously) at 11am Pacific / 2pm Eastern.
On this episode of SpanReads, we are discussing the magic in The Hero of Ages. We talk about Hemalurgy and more!
Alas. We suspected that this would be the case for some time now, but it has finally be confirmed: Stormlight 5 won't be coming until 2024. Though the reason why certainly isn't quite what we expected... Brandon Sanderson did a Reddit AMA with subreddit r/books last week, and a question about the next planned Stormlight novella sparked a long answer in which Brandon finally confirmed what we all expected: the Stormlight 5 release just isn't going to happen in 2023.
Brandon went a step further though to clarify why Stormlight 5 has been a bit slow-going, and it's not primarily due to the Secret Projects or any other writing projects: it's movie and television stuff.
On this episode of SpanReads, we are discussing the Characters and Relationships in The Hero of Ages, the last book of Mistborn Era 1!
Packed update this week! It's been announced that the Dawnshard audiobook will release in August, a physical version of Secret History is up for preorder with a new cover, merchandise and badge pricing has been released for the Dragonsteel con this November, and r/books will be holding an AMA with Brandon this Thursday.
Welcome to Diceborn!
This is Episode 4 of our new series where we play through a campaign using the Mistborn Adventure Game. After the cliffhanger from last week, how will our crew complete their mission with all the chaos going on?
It's the last book of Mistborn Era 1: The Hero of Ages! How did it hold up on a reread? Well you can find out here!
We got a ton of new stuff in Rhythm of War on the Oathpact, Desolations, and the Heralds and how that all works. So much so that we had to split this episode in two! So today we're talking about about the Oathpact and Desolations, as well as the Everstorm and Braize! Next episode we will delve into the Heralds.
This episode of SpanReads, we're getting into the many cosmere implication of The Well of Ascension! This episode is FULL cosmere spoilers!

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.
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?
Two bits of news for you today! Firstly, Brandon will be doing a spoiler stream tomorrow at 6pm Mountain Time on his YouTube channel. You can post and vote for questions in this Reddit thread. Also, Dynamite has delayed when the White Sand omnibus will be released, with print editions going out in October, but digital editions in August.
This episode of SpanReads, we're doing a dive into the magic systems of The Well of Ascension, especially Feruchemy!
It's time for an episode we recorded ages ago, long before we even got the blurb for this book: Lost Metal Predictions! The final Wax and Wayne book is finally coming November. Here are our predictions and hopes for the book! Also, so so many mechanical tangents. What can we say, we are excited to talk Mistborn and the mysteries on Scadrial.
