He surprised us all once more with his latest (and currently running) Kickstarter campaign for the upcoming Stormlight... no... COSMERE tabletop role-playing game!

Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies #167: Rhythm of War Reread - "Why are we getting the weirdest Amy sounds tonight!?" 07/31/2024

Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies #167: Rhythm of War Reread - "Why are we getting the weirdest Amy sounds tonight!?" This is it! The end of our reread of the currently-published books in The Stormlight Archive! After this, it's build-up to Wind and Truth in December, and we're thrilled for it! The last time we read Rhythm of War, we devoted 6 episodes to it as we broke down each piece. This time, we're cramming it all into one so we can devote more time to the final book in the trilogy, so there's a lot to get through this time! So what are your thoughts on Rhythm of War? What do you think is coming as we wrap up the first arc of The Stormlight Archive? What does Brandon Sanderson have cooking in that brain of his?
