Mistborn Adventure Game (Atomic Array 061)
Mistborn Adventure Game (Atomic Array 061)
Based on the bestselling 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’s the ultimate resource for fans of the novels and those who want to experience the Final Empire firsthand.
On this episode we have Alex Flagg and Patrick Kapera, from Crafty Games, who talk with us about the RPG adaptation of the novels. And… we also speak with Mr. Mistborn himself, author Brandon Sanderson.

Thanks, Troy!
I’ve been getting calls from non-gamer friends who are fans of Sanderson’s and really impressed we got a chance to speak with him.
And yes indeedy, the game is quite the accomplishment in how it captures the spirit of the Mistborn novels.
So, thanks to you and your podcast I have started reading the Final Empire. Oh great, ANOTHER excellent book series I have to read. ATOMIC ARRAY!
It’ll release in a few days. Clue time about the next show’s flavor. Hmm… okay. You didn’t ask if I could mix the next show… but the answer is, “Sure-I-Can!”
Wonderful interview. As a WOT fan, I’m extremely jealous. :) It was great hearing about Mr. Sanderson’s writing process. Really informative.
As for the game, I’d say it’s quite an accomplishment by Crafty to design a system that is both true to the metal based magic system of Mistborn and still incorporate the heist elements that were such a large part of the first novel in the series. Very innovative!
If I run into any holier-than-thous today, I’ll be sure to tell them that Rone is looking for them.
Be cool guys.
