Argent he/him Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) !!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL !!! Brandon has been dropping hints about another series set in the Reckoners universe - multiverse, as it is - and now we have the official announcement: here it is! For convenience: The Apocalypse Guard series is set in a world parallel to that of the Reckoners, and an organization of superpowered individuals is at its center. Their collective objective is to save doomed planets, until the day something goes horribly wrong and it is up to one young member of the guard to fix things before time runs out for her and the planet she calls home. Publication of the first book in the series is planned for spring 2018. Edited March 1, 2016 by Argent 12
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 I would not object to a second, Earth-based Cosmere. 3
Argent he/him Posted March 1, 2016 Author Posted March 1, 2016 Because breaking the genre twice (once by writing so storming much, and once by putting everything in the super-outlined Cosmere) is not enough. 5
ChocolateRob he/him Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) Ok so I've never played Halo but I've watched enough Red vs Blue to realise that with the output level that Brandon has managed to reach in the last few months he is clearly starting to enter the Rampancy stage. His output level will continue to grow increasingly haywire in size and imagination at a faster and faster rate until he self destructs, long before actually completing the Stormlight Archive. We can only hope that he somehow manages to break through into the theoretical, stable 'Meta' stage. Our (slim) hopes are with you Brandon. Edited March 1, 2016 by ChocolateRob 4
Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Hallejuah! It has come! If it comes to it, I call rights on Apocalypse Guard RP.
Kobold King he/him Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 If it comes to it, I call rights on Apocalypse Guard RP. Doesn't work that way. Whichever one TwiLyghtSansSparkles starts with a picture of a costumed pug is the one that'll catch on. I'm excited for this! I wonder whether the superpowered beings in Apocalypse Guard are in anyway related to Epics, possibly with their own version of Calamity. 2

I'll have to spend a lot of time searching for pug pictures that live up to the name "Apocalypse Guard." Edited March 1, 2016 by TwiLyghtSansSparkles 1

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Search no more. I think you just won the Internet.
The Invested Beard Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 I welcome the idea and all, but the name...I just can't help but think of super powerful deodorant. 5
HK-42 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 I wonder if parallel world could mean the world firefight comes from That would make Tavi? the main character perhaps, since it mentions that it is a she. 2
akeeyu Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) That would make Tavi? the main character perhaps, since it mentions that it is a she. That was my thought, which would be awesome because badassery Edited March 1, 2016 by akeeyu

"So... is no one curious about that time I showed up with all those bruises and cuts out of the blue? When I got pulled into an alternate universe and got beaten up by my dad's evil doppelganger? "...no? Okay. I guess we'll just forget about the whole thing, then." 4
Voidus Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Calamity spoilers Given the somewhat ambiguous ending of a much loved female character personally I'm hopping it's Mizzy.
happyman he/him Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 "So... is no one curious about that time I showed up with all those bruises and cuts out of the blue? When I got pulled into an alternate universe and got beaten up by my dad's evil doppelganger? "...no? Okay. I guess we'll just forget about the whole thing, then." I get the feeling that in the Reckoner Multiverse, people do pay attention to that kind of thing, but at a certain point, it's almost normal. Oh, a super-villain sucked you into a different universe again? Good thing you thwarted him so quickly! We almost missed getting to the Anderson's on time. Oh, and don't forget to bring the amulet of ultimate power to Freidhelm tonight; he's worried that the league of evil gentlemen are going to try something. 4
Sunbird she/her Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Does anybody else think this topic belongs in the Calamity Spoiler Board? Not that I'm not also super excited about this. I'm just thinking of everyone who hasn't finished Firefight and doesn't know the full extent of Megan's powers. Edited March 2, 2016 by Sunbird

General forum policy is to allow spoilers in the general topic after 6 months I believe, I'd recommend that the Firefight subforum be merged in here now but it's probably easier to wait til Calamity spoilers are done and then just merge all three.
natc Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 So now we go from badass normal people killing Epics to Epics saving the multiverse. That's a thing.

Well, technically my thread is fine, it's all the people who are posting Calamity spoilers that are not I am just announcing the announcement 1

Bladestorm Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 what I want to know are What doomed worlds there are does this connect to calamities people? if so how did this organization start, this makes it sound like it's been around for a while. Will we see all the same characters or a whole new set?
Argent he/him Posted March 3, 2016 Author Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) Brandon published a blog about this, and it has a pretty (fake) cover too! Edited March 3, 2016 by Argent
imriel452 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Maybe we could get a Reckoners-Apocalypse Guard - Rithmatist Crossover for truly epic Earth-based Cosmerity, which should become a word now! 1
