Very cool, there aren't enough innovative board games out there, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing!

Hello and welcome! I'm curious about this game design bit...I've been doing some solo development myself, a little on Unity, and a lot on Roblox. I've got a game I'm hoping to release in late August. So tell me more! What's your experience like, where does your genius lie...?

I finished it, but it still doesn't make perfect sense. I guess: So it's grey but yeah I get it now.

Yeah I know, you're right, but I thought it was funny anyway. I thought of this during the 'Fungeon' scene where Felix tries to break the cell bars with his hammer, only to thicken them, and exclaim, "Why do I fix everything I touch!" It just reminded me of how they are polar opposites in that way, and how Felix cannot destroy, while Ralph tends to do so unintentionally all the time. So yeah, it's not perfect, but close enough to make me laugh a little. That said, I do think Preservation probably could strengthen or improve something if it meant preserving it, similar to how Ruin can create with the intent of destroying. So maybe the cell bar thing still makes sense. And in any case, Felix can't create so much as restore, which isn't quite the same a preserving but yeah.

vv Preservation & Ruin vv

Yup, minor spoiler but it's okay. I'm like 2/3 done, and I already know way more than I should.

Wait Hero of Ages is greater than Shard, third only to Adonalsium and God Beyond?? I really need to finish that book, because thus far that makes no sense to me...

Ha lucky, none of my family cares at all to read them I knew someone who had read most of them, but they moved away. I tried to get some of my friends to read some...I got one to read The Final Empire, but that was it. So now I geek out in my room alone when I should probably be sleeping.

Gotcha, I thought the two novellas were adjacent. I'll probably save them for after Era 2 anyway, I still have Warbreaker, SA 2 & 3, Threnody, and Elantris to entertain me once I'm done with Hero of Ages.

Ooh yeah I know just a tiny bit about that. I should read that and The Bands of Mourning between Era 1 and 2, right? Or is it better to finish Era 2 first?

Also, I just read the mid-20 chapters of Hero of Ages last night, so: When you laugh giddily in the middle of the night just because Hoid's name shows up as a little easter egg, and then nearly cry when you realize Vin barely even interacts with him.

When you pull out your change and have an overwhelming desire to swallow the coins. When you forget that Aragorn's sword Anduril isn't some sort of Shardblade or Honorblade. When you find Allomantic Symbols in the margins of your notes and assignments. When you feel exposed when you notice the button on your jeans is metal. When you stumble into the gymnasium after your PE final gasping, "Pewter. I need pewter."

No actually, I've only read what my local library had (digitally, but still). I think it had potential, but the way the GN worked out was underwhelming. So yeah, I can see that being better, I'll check it out, thanks!

I'm a little iffy about the whole thing, TBH. I get really attached to characters as they are. Gender changes in movies are a weird thing, to me it typically just feels like a feminism statement to satisfy those who are pushing for it. I'm not opposed, it's just seems like a cliche, and I would have a hard time accepting a cannon change like that. I like Ham as he is, he really completed the crew. A female Ham wouldn't be too bad, but it might mess up the entertaining vibe between Ham and Breeze. And Shan...well that could be okay, except the whole questionable engagement thing was a good way to show that Elend wasn't conforming to typical Nobility norms. Also changing Dockson would probably make his character feel a lot like Tia from The Reckoners...I don't know, I'm not too worried about it, but reading this post was odd. But in the end, Sanderson did say this was like an alternate Cosmere or something. It's a little bit of a shame that we wouldn't just be getting a film version of the original Mistborn trilogy, but improvements are fine by me so long as they don't spoil the originals...? And in any case, it's literally Brandon Sanderson. I think he'll pull out incredible in the end. (Unless the Mistborn Screenplay turns out anything like White Sand, I wasn't super impressed by that one) I guess I just hope it won't flop as much as the Skywalker Saga, or Artemis Fowl, or Ender's Game. I think the real reason I'm at all concerned is because of how infatuated I am with the Cosmere. Change is good, as long as it's good. And I think I trust that Sanderson will make it great, like he nearly always does.
