In addition to board games, the first core rulebooks for a full-on Cosmere RPG launched just last year after a very successful crowdfunding campaign. And now in 2026, the highly anticipated Mistborn expansion is up for preorder.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The Mistborn Handbook, Campaign Guide, and Welcome to Scadriel guide are available to buy at Amazon with a November 4 release date.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The Mistborn Handbook is the main thing you&#8217;ll need if you want to build characters in either era of Mistborn. You&#8217;ll also get some general guidance for GMs building out a campaign in the world of Scadriel. Since it is a Mistborn game, there&#8217;s also a focus on the metallic arts of allomancy and ferochemy you wouldn&#8217;t get from the Stormlight characters.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">While the handbook is essential for the basics of the RPG, you&#8217;ll still need the campaign guide to insert your characters into a realistic setting from the books. You can choose to play a campaign through two different Eras, with consequences that &#8216;echo across the centuries&#8217;. Your campaign through Mistborn Era 1 is designed to be played through levels 3-6 while Era 2 is designed for levels 3-9.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">In addition to these two core guides, you can also pick up the smaller 24-page welcome guide. This book is designed as a visual guide for beginners and new players to get up to speed on what to expect from the world of Scadriel before they start playing. This is ideal for introducing players who maybe haven&#8217;t read any of Sanderson&#8217;s Cosmere books yet.<\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-2310533475 jsx-1178573261 box\" data-cy=\"aside\">\n<h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\">What We Said About the Stormlight Archive books<\/h3>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">IGN had the chance to check out the Stormlight Archive books when they first came out last year and gave them an 8 out of 10 in our review.

In fact, it&#8217;s not even the first attempt at a TTRPG for the series. Back in 2012 Crafty Games produced the Mistborn Adventure Game, which was a tabletop adventure set in Era 1 of Scadriel. There were additional expansions and books released for this game, but it&#8217;s mostly been forgotten with the release of Brotherwise Games Cosmere RPG.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">More recently, Brotherwise has also released a Mistborn Deckbuilding game that is actually quite good. We gave it an 8 out of 10 in our review, calling it a &#8220;refreshing offering among its deckbuilding peers&#8221; and an easy recommendation for fans of Mistborn.<\/p>\n<div id=\"226306\">\n<div class=\"jsx-3980863763 catalog-wrapper\"><span data-cy=\"productcard-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"226306\" data-cy=\"solo-product-card\" class=\"solo-product SoloProduct_solo-product__r2_WP\">\n<div class=\"card jsx-303513100 jsx-3341285356 product-card SoloProduct_product-card__JSk8u\">\n<div class=\"product-thumbnail jsx-2285132617 SoloProduct_image__vqG4e\"><img alt=\"Mistborn: The Deckbuilding Game\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2025\/08\/01\/mistborn-board-game-1754085700866.jpg?width=220&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 1x, https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2025\/08\/01\/mistborn-board-game-1754085700866.jpg?width=220&amp;dpr=2&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 2x\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-2827240024 name balanced\">Mistborn: The Deckbuilding Game<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button jsx-3027214138 jsx-3347269829 icon-button catalog-upvote SoloProduct_catalog-upvote__FWsVx centered disabled\" type=\"button\" title=\"Vote\" aria-label=\"Vote\" data-cy=\"catalog-upvote\" disabled=\"\"><span class=\"ign-icon icon-rating-like jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"icon-rating-like\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RatingLike.ea885513.svg?cors=1) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/p>\n<p>9<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span data-cy=\"poll-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\"\/><\/span><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"author-sign-off\"><\/p>\n<section class=\"author-sign-off\" data-cy=\"author-sign-off\"><span class=\"stack jsx-59817748 jsx-1927875859\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"rounded jsx-444076027 jsx-4218469134 profile-thumb jsx-2141281959 aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-1-1\"><img alt=\"Jacob Kienlen Avatar\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image profile-thumb-img jsx-249361588 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/avatars\/61d4a20a3de80e00017fa6c4\/Jacob-1643328937776.jpg?crop=1%3A1&amp;width=56&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 1x, https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/avatars\/61d4a20a3de80e00017fa6c4\/Jacob-1643328937776.jpg?crop=1%3A1&amp;width=56&amp;dpr=2&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 2x\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"stack jsx-2509706801 jsx-3630940851\"><span class=\"stack jsx-2959124702 jsx-702910195 author-sign-off-header\"><\/p>\n<p>Jacob Kienlen<\/p>\n<p>Senior Audience Development Strategist<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"stack jsx-2509706801 jsx-1220387432\"\/><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"interface jsx-1132626198 sign-off-text\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Jacob Kienlen is a Senior Audience Development Strategist and Writer for IGN.
