Do we interact with the other people playing, or is it just by ourselves?

Assuming no matter where you chose you would be safe, if you could visit any place in the Cosmere where would you go?

distract you by throwing Randal Monroe's book How To at you. It has a chapter about how to destroy a drone using sports equipment. While you're distracted and reading it, I palm the sandwich and put it in my coat pocket.

Yes!

Bendalloy compounder

 

Cool. I would pick Chromium compounder.

Welcome to the Shard! What kind of twinborn would you be in Mistborn?

Yes, I do. I'm the Dungeon Master of my group.

Are you a forever DM? 'cause I know I am.

Welcome to the shard!

What kind of a Twinborn would you be if you could? What's your favorite anime?

Do you like Hoid and Wayne? There is only one correct answer. Also, what Twinborn would you be?

We don't know. Feruchemical chromium gives Fortune, so enhancing that could make someone super lucky, but why would that mean "ringer'?

Exactly, like what even is a ringer. I think it is because "Ringer" implies skilled deception. The term "ringer" comes from a slang term for an expert who is brought into a competition to deceive others and guarantee a win. This perfectly describes a Chromium Compounder's advantage.

Why are Chromium compounders Ringers?

That's so cool!!!

welcome to the shard 

I don't have much to say to much people that join 

That's completely fair.

The first letter of each word in the ketek points to the names of the books in the series (and their Roshar literary counterparts) in order.

Original Ketek:

Trusted Words

Known Words

Renounce Once.

Renounce Words Known.

Words … trusted …

Once.

You have to goof with the ketek structure a little to spot it easier.

Trusted Words Known (The Way of Kings)

Words Renounce (Words of Radiance)

Once. (Oathbringer)

Renounce Words (Rhythm of War)

Known. Words … trusted … (Knights of Wind and Truth)

Once (the real mystery is figuring out what this one means! Any ideas? Or did I miss something obvious?).

That is insane! I can't believe that I missed it. Kudos to Sanderson.

I think feruchemy would be my favorite because you can reuse the metal storages and stuff, and you don't have to stab people to get powers. And I think the most interesting feature of the the Metallic Arts is compounding, and I'm really curious about compounding Chromium as well.

Compounding chromium creates very interesting effects, though it seems like Brandon plans on revealing more about compounding limit in era 3 of Mistborn.

ok, ill start: the abbreviation "ofc" means "of *beep* course" not just "of course"

Wait really?? That...makes both more and less sense

That's so true.

I thought that the arches crumbling were super cool. I didn't realize that the figures were heralds. I only realized the arches were crumbling about page 400 of WaT

Good picks!

I don't think anyone's chosen Wax before, so that's new.

Adolin, I think, would get along with everyone here.

Well Wayne's not as fun without Wax.

Hello! Welcome?

Which Cosmere food do you most want to try: chouta, Horneater stew, Horneater lager, or Lift’s pancakes?

What’s your most crackpot Cosmere theory you secretly want to be true?

What's your favorite Wayne quote?

last but definitely second most important:

Do you play Zelda or Hollow Knight? if not, what do you play/do in your free time?

I want to try Horneater stew.

I don't know

I like "I bought a ward against it off a traveling fortune-teller, It lets me add two 'n' two and get a pickle." and "It is lucky. I ain't never died while wearing that hat." 

And I do play Zelda. I am working on the Champions ballad for Botw right now.

Welcome!

If you could invite any 6 Sanderson characters to a party, who would you invite?

I would invite Wayne, Hoid, Wax, Adolin, Vin, and Elend.

Welcome to the Shard! Which Sanderson character would you most and least want to have lunch with?

I would most like to have lunch with Wayne and least like to have lunch with Moash.

I'm Akimikoisthecutest and I love all of Brandon's works, but I have only read Stormlight, Mistborn, and The RIthmatist.

What happened to Moash was caused by Crystal Spikes, something developed by the Herald Battar. It is likely a derivative of Hemalurgy, in the same way that the ability to Sense Investiture, like Seekers on Scadrial, appears across multiple worlds.

As for other examples of the Metallic Arts, nothing overt but Hoid has been seen drinking some metal in one of Shallan's flashbacks and Pushing on metals when he freaked out in WaT.

The Ghostbloods likely have some Metalborn, but again there is nothing overt. They definitely use Hemalurgy, as Gereh's stabbed corpse can attest.

Oh. Thank you so much for the clarification.

I might pick A Bendalloy and F Chromium or just compound chromium.

Do you think that there are some examples of the Metalic arts in roshar? Like Moash being stabbed in the eyes so he can see investiture? Was that some kind of metal from scadrial that we haven't seen yet?

I love all the books but here is my ranking.

1. Wor

2. W&T

3. WoK

4. OB

5. RoW
