Should Mistborn, WoT, or any of the other works be made into a tabletop games and if so which one (I mean LoTR has one and hey mistborn figs is just a step to it)?

I probably wouldn't play it, however, that doesn't stop me from believing it should have one if there's an audience for it, which I'm sure there would be, though probably not large enough for most companies to consider doing it.

yeah, I don't really see it happening. There are already something like 4 different figs purely for collecting, but a game is way too big of an investment. Think about what you are saying: The Lord of the Rings, the trilogy that nearly everyone considers to be the father of modern fantasy, was not turned into a series of miniatures until several hundred million (guesstimate) dollars worth of movies were made. Much as we love Brandon, he isn't nearly well known enough yet.

Makes sense that there isn't a market for it... plus plotting out the mechanics when the history isn't known would't work out too well for Mistborn

It won't happen, but I'd play it if it did.

Making your own rules/game is actually a lot harder than it would seem.…

I'm pretty sure Sprig is aware of that. ;)

Also, there are MANY systems out there for this type of thing that are made to be customized to fit your needs.
