Stormlight Handbook, Upturned Table -- Tabletop Everything From Everywhere

Brandon Sanderson’s “Cosmere Roleplaying Game” has taken the tabletop community by surprise. Originally promoted as “The Stormlight Roleplaying Game,” it was revealed that this project would encompass not just the Stormlight Archive but also the Mistborn series, making it a comprehensive RPG for the entire Cosmere universe. Developed by Brotherwise Games and Dragonsteel Entertainment, the game has sparked immense excitement, quickly raising over $1.5 million on Kickstarter. The project will be released in phases, with Stormlight materials expected in 2025 and Mistborn content in 2026. Despite a high price point, fan enthusiasm is driving the campaign toward becoming one of the year’s most successful crowdfunding efforts. The Cosmere RPG’s Kickstarter has shattered records, raising over $4 million in its first 24 hours, making it the biggest tabletop RPG Kickstarter to date. The game’s success is attributed to the ambitious plans laid out by Brotherwise Games, which include a series of books and a “living RPG” concept that will evolve alongside the ongoing Cosmere stories. Fans can look forward to a d20-based system that integrates the unique magic systems from Sanderson’s books, allowing for a rich, narrative-driven experience across different worlds within the Cosmere.

The winners of the 2024 ENNIE awards at Gen Con have been announced, highlighting excellence across multiple categories such as Best Adventure, Best Art, and Best Game. Shadowdark RPG took the gold for Product of the Year.

D&D YouTubers have faced copyright strikes from Wizards of the Coast over content related to the new D&D Player’s Handbook, causing confusion and concern within the creator community. Some videos have been taken down, while others have been modified to avoid further strikes, raising questions about the communication and policies surrounding the promotion of the new book.

Lastly, Mantic Games continues to expand its popular Deadzone franchise, introducing new factions and 3D printing options as part of their “Summer of Sci-Fi.” The company is engaging the community through a new platform on MyMiniFactory, offering immediate access to STL files and stretch goals for fans who want to enhance their gaming experience with custom terrain and miniatures. This initiative highlights Mantic’s commitment to keeping the Deadzone universe vibrant and accessible to both new and returning players.
