Brandon Sanderson / Re: Dragonsteel

Thanks, Peter!

Okay, I'm sorry if this has been said anywhere, but I want to make sure:

I know WoT and SA are two huge projects, but is Mr. Sanderson still planning on writing Dragonsteel, eventually?

Brandon Sanderson / Re: [MISTBORN RPG] Your wish lists, please

Personally, I would want to play a campaign with a mostly misting crew, probably pre-colapse.  Composition similar to Kelsier's crew, with maybe 1 mistborn, several mistings, and some ska.  I agree that game balance will be challenging but necessary (Snapping conveniently allows for players to "buy" mistborn status after playing for a while).  I also agree that I wouldn't want to play an inquisitor myself, though I would like the rules to allow for that.  I especially would like a list of hemalurgic spikes, with costs and benefits for each.  Enhancing mistings with small spikes is definitely a way for mistings to keep up with the party mistborn.

For the Steel Inquisitor, you could have something like a resistance bar that builds up gradually. The longer you are obedient to Ruin, the more you can do when you decide to do something that Ruin doesn't want.
I think that you wouldn't want your character to become that far gone.  In the long run, the "catch Ruin by surprise" will only work so often.

Personally, I wouldn't mind hemalurgic spikes not having any consequence (or only minor consequence) on "corruption", etc.  Example, one person has a single spike which gives them a minor advantage; you shouldn't need to worry too much about corruption.  Or, what if we stopped worying about players loosing controll, but treat it more as mental instability?  Pentalties to saving throws?  At low-to-medium levels of hemalurgic corruption, Ruin might be taking controll only once in a while.  I think the question of mental influence will have to be worked out somehow anyway, if only because of Soothers and Rioters.

Stephen Frye as Breeze - amazing!  I totally agree.  I can see Sazed as well, but Breeze is funnier, and I think Frye does funny better than intellectually distraught.

Sumer Glau as Vin - also brilliant, she's got the bad-a** down and has the intensity necessary for Vin.

Part of me wants to see Sean Connery as the Lord Ruler.
