Brotherwise Games has announced that The Mistborn campaign setting is now available at your local game shop. Made in partnership with Brandon Sanderson’s Dragonsteel Entertainment. Mistborn is the second campaign setting for the Cosmere RPG, which premiered with the Stormlight campaign setting last year. The system combines d20-based mechanics with flexible talent trees, skill-based magic, and an emphasis on narrative play. The Cosmere RPG set a record for the tabletop games category by earning $15 million on Kickstarter.
In the Mistborn campaign setting, characters have access to the Metallic Arts of Allomancy and Feruchemy, two magic systems with well-defined strengths and limitations. The Mistborn setting spans both eras of the novels: In Era 1, become a legendary Mistborn or Feruchemist during the apocalyptic days of Final Empire. Or leap ahead to the skyscrapers and gunslingers of Era 2, when Twinborn face threats from other worlds.
I’m proud of what our team created for the Stormlight campaign setting, but Mistborn has been a chance for us to take the Cosmere system to the next level,” says Johnny O’Neal, Creative Director at Brotherwise. “The Metallic Arts are a ton of fun in play, and our Mistborn Legacy adventure is so good that I think anyone who loves RPGs should check it out.”
The Mistborn retail release includes three hardcover sourcebooks: the Mistborn Handbook, the Mistborn World Guide, and Mistborn Legacy. The Mistborn Handbook and Mistborn World Guide offer all the rules needed to play the game, and are fully compatible with the Stormlight campaign setting books. Mistborn Legacy is an innovative adventure that spans both eras of play, written in close collaboration with Sanderson. The decisions you make in Era 1 ripple centuries into the future, resulting in consequences for your party in Era 2.
In addition to the three hardcover sourcebooks, the line includes a $24.99 Mistborn Starter Set with maps, tokens, dice, pregenerated characters, starter rules, and a 1st-level adventure. More accessories, such as the Mistborn Plot Deck, Mistborn Item Cards, and Mistborn Dice, are rolling out in stores this week.
Brotherwise Games will continue to support the Stormlight and Mistborn campaign settings in 2027 and beyond, with more supplements and another hardcover adventure releasing next year. Brotherwise will also announce the next official setting for the Cosmere RPG during the Dragonsteel Nexus convention in December.
