I am back amongst the living. Nice pieces, I particularly like the dragon one.

You got lucky and I'm sure you'll find plenty more friends here.

I am quite glad to have my collection. Granted no one in my area gets any of the cosmere stuff, sigh the pain of a rural nerd.

Well I am glad you have found a good group already, believe me that can be tough when you look online for TTRPG groups. I live in a very rural area so I had to. The game store guy is right, it is a large pain, but if there is passion do what you love. As for the leather bounds, it has a been a lengthy process to get them all. I got a fair few signed editions, one even has a specific quote picked out before Brandon signed it.

I assume you mean modules when you say pre written campaigns. Nothing wrong with that, I just like going more off script. My main game is more of a sandbox, where there is a consistent cast of characters and a central location we stay at. Occasionally venturing out to do quests between our training. So we have more opportunities to forge meaningful connections and create stuff that has an impact on the setting. Granted we are switching to a DC inspired superhero game for a bit still based in D&D 5e, but again, heavy homebrew. I wish you luck with all that homebrew for the cosmere, I was tempted to try it at one point but I often can get too bogged down in minutiae and am not the biggest fan of balancing and mechanics. I got my own personal library, so far I have every leatherbound released for the cosmere. As for sharing your theories, you can but you need to put them in a specific thread and mark the spoilers for which books you will be drawing from.

Apologies for the delay, I am having a lazy sunday. To list them off, I ran and played Vampire The Masquerade for several years. Currently I mainly play D&D 5e, albeit in a heavily homebrewed manner and am working on a few homebrew settings of my own. Once the cosmere RPG is fully out I plan to run a stormlight game for my regular group. As far as Hoid theories, I have read every cosmere story save for the White Sand Novels. I also began my time on this forum posting random theories I had. Such as alternative uses for Lerasium.

Thanks, I quite enjoy Hoid as a character. Hits the same notes as a fair few I have played in ttrpgs. Albeit I lack such scathing wit, but I do hoard magic like no body else.

Just want to say good for you taking the leap to share your work. I like the way you did the night sky in the first image.

Just wanted to say I am incredibly hyped for the cosmere RPG, and look forward to getting all my friends to play it. Feel free to share your hype.

I suppose it would depend in part on a few factors. 1. How widespread is this ability? Does everyone of this region have it, or is it something that they acquire, say via some kind of ritual? 2. What abilities does the burning of one's own blood provide? Destruction, healing, or some form of conjuration via manipulating the blood's form? 3. What beliefs do the culture have about this power based upon the prior factors. For instance, assuming that one only gains blood magic through some kind of ritual, and that blood magic allows someone to heal another of their wounds. I could easily see it becoming some kind of holy magic in which those practitioners are viewed as saint like entities. If however the magic something that people are born with and it provides some sort of combat effect. Say for instance the blood can solid as a weapon and gain traits such as being corrosive. I could see it becoming somewhat taboo, or perhaps a favored power for assassins. As the more wounds they take in theory the more power they have. As a random aside, if you want blood to potentially be used simply as a kind of magical battery. I would then say it could depend upon how other regions in your world utilize magic. Say for instance in other places you need magically charged crystals to cast spells. These blood mages could in theory be seen as having a closer connection to magic via their ability to seemingly utilize it at will without such crystals. If so, they might at one time have been the dominant force in the world, albeit somewhat limited by the blood within their body. However, if say your world has advanced to a point such crystals could be mined easily. They may now be in decline, as the ease of use may have fostered a kind of negligence in exploration of better ways to utilize their power. I do hope this helps and I want to thank you for the thought experiment.

I am perpetually unsure as to my order, when I first read book one and I was younger. I thought for sure I was a windrunner, as I got older and learned more, I honestly thought I may be a lightweaver. A few friends and my mother said I seemed more like an elsecaller at the time, further contributing to my confusion. But I finally settled more on lightweaver due to my love of stories and DMing. Recently though with the release of the radiant order videos. A friend of mine who read book one of stormlight and is very good at taking called shots pointed out several things in my personality that would imply I am a dustbringer. Suffice to say, I am perpetually unsure, which I think would point to me being a lightweaver but I cannot say for certain.
