Title: Mistborn the RPG at Gen-Con!
Post by: Inkthinker on July 31, 2011, 08:49:27 AM

So, at long last, it finally comes.

http://www.crafty-games.com/content/mistborn-adventure-game-pre-order-details?utm_source=bsand&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=magpre

From the page:

Based on the best-selling novels by Brandon Sanderson and powered by an all new story-driven rules system, the Mistborn Adventure Game lets you explore, command, or liberate the oppressed world of Scadrial, battle the Lord Ruler’s Inquisitors, and master the primal forces of Allomancy, Feruchemy, and Hemalurgy. It features new official fiction from Mr. Sanderson himself and loads of never-before-seen material, making it the ultimate resource for fans of the novels and those who want to experience the Final Empire firsthand.


The book also features about 30 illustrations drawn by yours truly. I busted some hump to try and match well with Brandon's written words, and he and Peter have been pretty good about keeping me on the right track. I think if you liked the work I've done before, you'll be happy with what I've done here.

I hope you check it out!

This art is gorgeous! Do you plan on releasing more of it to the general public, or do I need to go whip out the credit card? :)

Thanks!

I only get to show work that's already been released to the public. The cover has been shown by Crafty, so I can show the cover art.

The big questions I've got about this are whether it reveals:
A) any new feruchemical metal properties
B) any more of the organization and principles of hemalurgy
C) any new allomantic savant effects
D) the details and limitations of Rashek-style allomancy/feruchemy combo use.

Dang, when I finally get the motivation to buy the Mistborn Pewter minis, they're practically nowhere to be found... :P

I am totally buying this solely for the new Mistborn information. This is awesome.

The Mistborn minis sold out and won't be coming back.

Grave news indeed.
You can bet they'll become infinitely more sought once this RPG releases, I know I'm not the only one kicking themselves for not buying when the pewter was hot.

Alas I'll have to add it to my "keep an eye out for in fans' collections" or see if I can't modify other minis to suit.

Fantastic artwork!  You outdid yourself.  I have to admit, I wasn't going to buy one because of my tight budget, but the cover swayed me.

Great job Ink! Would to see your work on a Mistborn book! :)

You are! It's this one!!

 ;D

I also did quite a lot of the broadsheet work in Alloy of Law. Who knows what we'll get up to next?

Oh my gosh, this is such perfect timing - I just got a job and am anticipating my first paycheck in a few days! Granted it's probably not responsible to throw money at a new RPG book first thing, but when has that ever mattered to a fangirl? X3

I feel the same way. Heck, I'm not even that big on RPGs and I'm still rearranging my budget to fit this in.  It's a shiny must have!

I might just have to buy this for the art alone. Since I am not a table RPG player. :)


P.S I wish i was half as good as you Ink :P
