Cosmere
- Official Cosmere RPG Kickstarter - by Brotherwise Games
A bit of a late post, so most of you have probably seen this already.
It looks like the cheapest virtual only buy in for the full game is $150, while the cheapest physical full game is $195 (+shipping/import tax!)
There are some links in there for some early reviews and play-throughs too. These only look to be the Stormlight system though, so I assume the Mistborn/Scadrial (an any other planets) are still in the works.
- Cosmere Canvas 2024
If anyone wants to join in drawing the cosmere logo on the canvas :) I already completed most of it but maybe you have some other ideas. The Logo is at 930, 200. You can use the build in template
- Just finished the SA books and ... the magic system ?
So, finished RoW, I did not read the halfs (yet?) Edgedencer & Dawnshard - instead I cheated a bit and looked up the summary for these (Dawnshard mainly) as I was too hungry for more "spice" of the SA story so I wanted to continue with next SA book straight away. I did read all of the current Mistborn series we have before SA though about a year or something ago
So I do have some notion about the...
shards, investiture and stuff but... I am still confused how the Cosmere magic works in general - I know that magic (Investiture) is different for each planet/system of the Cosmere and guessing it has something to do with the specific shards of that system... ?
⠀⠀
Well, if anyone wants to chime in with pointers I would be very thankful! Meanwhile I will be scouring the wiki and WoBs to get a better picture.
- [Dragonsteel Prime] musings
light dragonsteel prime spoiler
does anyone else ship bat'chor and topaz? that's really all i wanted to ask :3
i think the two have a cute dynamic. i really like that idea of a merchant, escaping their responsibility, to go on adventures with an excentric jesk they secretely love. following them on an unknown quest, out of loyalty and love..
i dont really think it's there in the text, but i like to imagine it anyway
- [The Sunlit Man/SP4 full/Cosmere] I'm certain I know.
Canticle is a dragon or other powerful being's egg. The entire planet is an evenly rotating massive investiture sink. I can easily seeing that being a major part of the development of a dragon, both heating and sustaining the embryo. The hostility of the planet is also likely in part a defense mechanism.
- [Oathbringer] speculation about consequences of how healing works on roshar
the way that radiant healing and the surge of progression (regrowth) works, is by making someones body the way they see themselves. even old wounds can be healed this way, as long as the person doesnt yet accept their current body. this is demonstraded by lopen healing their arm.
so what would happen if a trans person (or generally any person with body dysmorthia) who doesnt accept their current body were healed this way? in my unchangable opionion, their body should transform to how they see themselves, physically transitioning them! i imagine a closeted, radiant trans person sucking in storm light for the first time and suddenly changing their appearance, to the surprise of everyone
- What to read next
I just finished the first mistborn series and loved it! I didn’t know about the Cosmere before I started but now that I know, what should I read next? I’m leaning toward the next mistborn trilogy.
- [All Cosmere] Can Feruchemists use other Investiture?
Let's assume a Feruchemist has access to some other form of Investiture, maybe with a Perpendicularity, liquid Dor, becoming a Radiant, getting Breaths, or maybe even tapping Connection to become Elantrian or something. We've seen from TLM that Allomancers can use Investiture from a Perpendicularity instead of metals, so can Feruchemists do the same? If so, how would something like a coppermind work, where the attribute has data stored rather than just an amount? There's probably a WoB explaining this somewhere, but I can't find it.
- Cremposting
Hello! I created a community for Cremposting (!cremposting@slrpnk.net). Right now I'm adding some memes from Reddit so we can have content, but please join the community to share the finest crem!
Mods, delete this post if it's not allowed.
- [Rhythm of War + Secret History] Spren Assassination?
Its been a while since I read RoW so I may be wrong on some of this, but this thought came up when reading another post.
RoW - All & Mistborn Secret History
- Do we know what happens when a godmetal is taken into the cognitive realm?
- We know that lower spren have a presence in both the physical and cognitive realm - do bonded spren have a visible presence in the cognitive realm when they are in the physical? In M:SH people show up as lights in the cognitive realm.
- if you can take one of those god metal (or inverted god metal) assassin blades into the cognitive realm, could you kill A) spren B) people using them?

- Welcome to /c/cosmere!
Please note: Lemmy is still alpha technology and is under current development
Welcome to Lemmy!
We have two communities for Sanderson on Lemmy: /c/cosmere and /c/brandonsanderson. /c/cosmere will be for cosmere books discussion, /c/brandonsanderson will be for more general purpose Sanderson discussion. You can also check out related science fiction/fantasy communities in partnership with SFFA (science fiction fantasy alliance) by clicking the Communities button in the top left.
Lemmy mostly works like reddit. Here are a few key differences to be aware of.
Spoiler tagging in posts/comments
Spoiler markup on Lemmy works like this:
::: spoiler
Book Name/Spoiler Scopetext here
:::
That becomes the following, with the spoiled text collapsed, and the book name displayed to warn people what it’s a spoiler for.
Book Name/Spoiler Scope
text here
This is important to note because all spoilery posts and comments must be under spoiler formatting until we have spoiler toggle ability to blur posts.
Making an account
You can browse the communities without an account, however, if you want to post/comment, you will have to create your account, then verify the email of that account, before you can log into it. Please be aware that the verification email often goes to the spam/junk folder so you may need to check there for it. Please also be aware that the site does not notify you that it has sent the email and that you may see an endlessly spinning loading icon — in that case, you should assume the mail was sent and check for it. This email verification issue has been addressed by our dev team and hopefully it resolves within the next 48 hours (it is currently July 4, Xpm PST). We are monitoring this issue closely.
Tagging posts
Our devs are still working on post flairs, so for now we ask that all posters include a tag in their post title indicating the spoiler scope. It’s as simple as adding [Book Name] to the beginning of your post title. For example:
[Mistborn: TFE] So how about that one fight [Oathbringer] What do you think about that Sanderlanche? [Warbreaker Ch 4] Can someone help me understand___? [No Spoilers] Latest progress update
Removed Posts
Currently, when a post is removed, it will no longer show up in your profile. We will copy the link to the post and send it to you with a message of what needs to be edited/changed. If the issue is something you can correct, make the change and then respond to our message and include your post link, and we can restore it.
Note that, unlike Reddit, post titles and links can be edited after posting!
Removed Comments
Currently, when a comment is removed, Lemmy will delete its contents (rather than simply marking the comment not displayable). As a result, when we remove comments for spoilers, we will copy the content of the comment into our message to you, along with a link to the comment. You can follow the link, make any necessary changes (note your changes will not display after you save), and then message us back (with a link to the comment) and we will restore it.
Mobile Apps
There are a number of third-party mobile apps available for Lemmy, including Jerboa (Android) (Currently not compatible with our instance due to version changes), Liftoff (iOS & Android), Connect (Android), Memmy (iOS) and more.
Please be aware that spoiler formatting DOES NOT WORK on mobile apps at this time. Mobile apps are all in alpha and beta stages and currently do not support the spoiler markdown. Use mobile apps at your own risk. The mobile website is functional and we recommend using that if spoilers are a concern.
If you have any questions or concerns feel free to comment below or post for help over at SFFA Meta.
- Just about 1 week until SP3!!!
Who's excited??? I know personally I am waiting for my physical copy before reading it, and avoiding spoilers is going to be really difficult.
- [Secret Projects] Which Cosmere project are you anticipating most?
Going by the sample chapters, are you more excited for Secret Project Three or Secret Project Four? Or does Tress of the Emerald Sea hold your heart too tightly for either to overtake?
(I'm using the codenames here because neither Lemmy nor Kbin supports labeling posts as spoilers and so the first line may show up in feeds, but shouldn't be a problem for the comments.)
