If you’re missing more than one (besides the new Nobles one) it is currently cheaper to get the bundle than to buy them separately! -
For those of us who are fans of the Mistborn Adventure Game, the long-awaited supplement Nobles: The Golden Mandate, is out now! This supplement adds new background and features for fans who want to play nobles that fight against the Lord Ruler or join a skaa thieving crew. The background to create the supplement comes from both the books and the Mistborn: House War supplement to create a rich tapestry of background for both Great Houses and lesser ones. A new, pre-written adventure titled “Thieves in the Ninth House” is also included in the sourcebook. Fans of the game should buy quickly, however, as the digital sourcebook will no longer be available after December 31, 2023. In fact, all digital Mistborn Adventure Game sourcebooks will be unavailable after that date, while the physical sourcebooks are currently out of stock with no restocking plans currently announced. The official description of Nobles: The Golden Mandate lists it as the final supplement that will be released. While no official announcement has been made on if this is it for the Mistborn Adventure Game, the evidence points to that being the case. If this is the last chance to get the Mistborn Adventure Game, now is the time to do it. A Bundle of Holding contains five rulebooks for only $18 USD. This bundle contains Mistborn Adventure Game Alloy of Law Alloy of Law: Masks of the Past Terris: Wrought of Copper Skaa: Tin & Ash The Mistborn Adventure Game core rules alone is usually $15 USD, so this is a great deal for fans interested in getting the game while it's still available. This deal is available until Monday, October 9, so get it while you can. For those of you unfamiliar with the Mistborn Adventure Game, 17th Shard produces an actual play show called Diceborn that can be found on YouTube and anywhere you get podcasts. We have both the main series set in Era 2 and a miniseries set in Era 1 called Secrets in Stained Glass, which uses some of the new Nobles: The Golden Mandate content. -
Happy birthday!

There’s been quite a bit of movement in Brandon’s upcoming works recently, so get ready for some new content. First, Lux: A Texas Reckoners Novel, will be releasing this Thursday, July 22. The story was written with Steven Michael Bohls and will be an Audible Original on Amazon upon release. Brandon has stated that Lux will eventually be released in print and ebook, but not for at least a year after release. The first four sample chapters have all been released to listen to on Brandon’s YouTube channel. Brandon will be doing a livestream with co-author Steven Bohls tomorrow at 6:00 PM MST. Brandon’s main writing project, Wax & Wayne 4, tentatively titled The Lost Metal, has hit 75% completition on the first draft. Brandon is working his way through part 3 which he is writing by character. The part will have the characters split into three different groups. One character will be by themself, two characters will be together, and Steris will be by herself with a small number of viewpoints. At JordanCon, Brandon did a reading from the prologue of Wax & Wayne 4. The prologue is of a young Wayne whose mother tells him a story about Allomancer Jak. The recording can be found online here and the transcription can be read on Arcanum. JordanCon also had multiple signing lines and a Q&A session. The WoBs are currently being transcribed on Arcanum and can be read here for all that juicy new info. Lastly, we have official confirmation that Dark One Volume 2 is underway. So all you fans of Volume 1 have something to look forward to, though detail of when it will be released are yet to be announced. -
Here’s a couple I asked Isaac that I don’t think were on any recordings.

With the most recent Syl interlude, we seemingly got confirmation that shardplate is made up of spren. Syl specifically refers to shardplate as being made up of lots of corpses. One of the major questions that arises from this is how the shardplate is able to regenerate from stormlight if it's made up of corpses. The following is my theory of how that happens. I believe the clue to understanding how shardplate regenerates lies in the existence of deadeyes. We know that each shardblade has a cognitive aspect whose sole purpose is to follow around the human carrying their blade. Why wouldn't shardplate have a similar cognitive aspect or aspects? I believe that shardplate has some group of cognitive beings that function similarly to the deadeyes and correspond to the various corpses in the plate. Each cognitive corpse follows around the piece of plate they correspond to. When plate is broken. the cognitive corpses continue to follow around the part of the plate they correspond to. The various spren that made up the plate, however, are Connected. Feeding stormlight to the plate essentially does two things. First, it uses the Connections between the spren to draw their cognitive aspects to the same location in the Cognitive Realm. Maybe by making the Connections between the spren temporarily stronger than the Connection with the physical piece of plate or just making them want to come get food. Once the spren are all in the same location in the Cognitive Realm, the stormlight allows the spren to use their Connection with the spren already in the Physical Realm at that location to reform there as plate. When multiple pieces get stormlight at the same time, the larger one contains more spren and therefore a stronger Connection to the group of spren as a whole. This explanation probably needs some tweaks but I think it uses what we know of how plate and blades work to create a relatively simple yet Realmatically viable answer. I'd love feedback on what others think of this theory and if they have any tweaks on how they think this could work.
