Okay, link to the grid has been edited in above. In the past, I have locked the permissions on the grid so that only the spymasters can edit it, but I realized that I probably don't need to do that. Nobody should be mucking about with the grid except the spymasters anyway, and if they do it will be pretty obvious and easy to fix. So with that, we're pretty much ready to begin. I'll send a PM to our spymasters so that we can get round 6 started!

Sorry, life has been crazy, but I finally have a few minutes to sit down and get the next round set up. Working on the grid for the next game now, and will edit a link into this post when I'm done. (EDIT: Link to the grid, as promised) It looks like our teams will be like so: Red Team Spymaster: @Kidpen @recneps @Jondesu @Ashspren @Rebecca Blue Team Spymaster: @Cadmium Compounder @Rhapsody @Herowannabe @Scion of the Mists @luckat you said you were going to be out of town for a bit, but since it took a while to get this round started you might be back around now. If you want to join in this round just let us know.

But of course! And don’t forget the Reckoners board game!

What game are you referring to? Link? Anyway, this is cool and exciting news! And this is in addition to The Way of Kings Boardgame that is supposed to be hitting kickstarter sometime soon. Plus, a year or so ago, Brandon dropped a hint at a signing that a Mistborn card game was in the works. So much Sanderson gamey goodness!

@saesaenorris thanks for taking the time to come add your insights in this thread! I hope that your health has improved and will continue to do/stay so! It was cool and fun to read the background behind each of the songs. I’m very glad that Wandersail made it onto the album. IMO is the crowning piece of the album: the whole concept of an echoing flute-duet interspersed with the dramatic scenes from Wit’s story sounds incredibly challenging but you/Mike nailed it. Just perfect! And of course Assassin in White, but I can tell how proud you already are of that one. You’ve already figured out how to mention specific people using the @ symbol. You can also quote a specific post by hitting the “quote” button under that post, or quote several posts by hitting the “+” button under each one. You can also select part of a post and a “quote this” button will pop up, so you can just quote one part of someone’s post (like I’ve done here).

Yep you got it! It’s Tevidian Tekiel by the way.

Nope. Nope. Nope. Clue #3: this character committed heresy

To quote, just hit the “quote” button at the bottom of that person’s post. Alternatively you can select a portion of a post and a little black “quote” button will pop up to quote just the selection. @EdgeDancerSquirrelGirl To “mention” someone, type @ + start typing their username, and a little menu should pop up where you can select their name. You have to select their name or it won’t work. If you want a specific user’s attention it’s usually a good idea to do one of these two things, because then it notifies them the next time they visit the site. Otherwise they may not ever see your post. I just happened to pop back in this thread and notice yours. Graphic audio does audiobooks, but instead of one or two narrators they have a full voice cast, plus sound effects and music. Their tag line is “a movie in your mind” and that is really what it feels like. I cannot recommend them strongly enough, they’re so incredibly awesome. I suggest going to their website and listening to a few of the sample audio clips to get an idea of what they’re like. The downside is that they’re not cheap. Sometimes if you’re lucky you can find them at your local library, but otherwise you’re looking at around $15 per installment, and each of brandon’s books takes around 3 installments (give or take, depending on how long the book is. Stormlight books are around 5-6 installments, for example).

Nope nope Clue #2: This character was very religious

Woo! Clue #1: This character held a position of power

How did our rap battle thread turn into a pun contest?

Except that he represented Vin, so shouldn’t it be “I’m Preserved?” Hmm... that doesn’t really work, does it.

Here’s a link to the update talking about the expansion: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/craftygames/mistborn-house-war/posts/2222802 hmm... reading over it again it looks like I may have made some assumptions about the mechanics that they didn’t actually talk about, or maybe there was a post or something somewhere else where they talked about it a little more but I have no clue where that would have been.

Sorry I haven’t gotten the new grid up yet. It’s been a crazy week and almost all of my internet browsing has been on my phone. I’ll get to it as soon as I can though.

I agree, I always have a blast whenever I play, win or lose. They really did a great job on the game. As for the expansion, they posted a little update on Kickstarter and mentioned what the game will be like. It will play out very similarly to the base game, with the game revolving around whether or not Luthadel falls. If it stands then the person with the highest favor wins, if it falls then the lowest wins. There will be a Vin track that determines when she arrives, and there will be a new problem deck to replace the old one.

I work in a cabinet shop and so I listen to audiobooks all day. I agree I love Michael Kramer and Kate Reading, but I have to say that if you can afford them, the Graphic Audio adaptions are absolutely phenomenal. Best listening experience. Ever.

Aww, I was kinda hoping you were going to go for a pre tongue-healing Susebron and your entire rap would just be stuff like “gom womf ah heem mowwah pumf...” edit: also, I second some sort of master spreadsheet or post or something with links to all the players/characters and their roasts, to make navigating easier.

Bravo! That was hilarious/perfect!
