Mistborn RPG Campaign Spans Two Eras
A new canonical Mistborn Legacy RPG campaign has been highlighted by Spanish-language Cosmere fans, spanning two eras set 300 years apart where player actions in the past directly shape the future timeline. Fans are praising the Mistborn trilogy's exceptional character development and world-building, with one reader finishing the series and highly recommending it for fantasy newcomers ahead of the upcoming Apple adaptation. The trilogy's visualization-friendly narrative style has readers describing it as watching a movie while reading.
- The roleplaying game is part of the larger *Cosmere RPG* developed by Brotherwise Games and Dragonsteel, with the *Mistborn*-specific books scheduled for release in 2026. - The first era, "The Final Empire," is set in a dystopian, ash-filled world where a team of thieves with metal-based magic attempts to overthrow a tyrannical, immortal ruler. - The second era, known as "Wax and Wayne," jumps forward 300 years into a setting with railroads, electricity, and skyscrapers, blending industrial-age detective stories with the established magic systems. - The magic in the world, known as Allomancy, involves individuals ingesting and "burning" specific metals to gain powers like pushing or pulling on other metals, enhancing senses, or soothing emotions. - Author Brandon Sanderson plans for four total eras in the *Mistborn* book series; the forthcoming third trilogy, titled *Ghostbloods*, will be set in an early computer age. - The upcoming screen adaptation from Apple will be a feature film franchise, with Sanderson himself writing the screenplay for the first movie. - The deal with Apple for the rights to Sanderson's "Cosmere" universe is noted as being unprecedented, granting the author a high level of creative control as a writer, producer, and consultant on the projects.
