Hey Guys just to be sure

1. When Storing Compounded charges the best a compounder can do is like 10 in an hour with a ferruchemical rating of 10 and asurdly high attributes

2. How is it possible to achieve the 150 charges nessesary to ironrend something massive?

As I understand it that would take a 15 in allomantic steel to compound that much at once as well as a 15 ferruchemical steel rating to use 150 charges at once

Does anybody have any maps for the great house keeps in Luthadel? Specifically Keep Lekal

I recently picked up every rulebook for the game, and I'm reading through the core rulebook right now.

I can't help but notice that there doesn't seem to be anything about becoming a ferring, a feruchemust with only 1 metal, in the core books.

Its been a while since I've actually read the novels, do ferrings just not exist in the Final Empire? That seems unlikely to me considering how prevalent they are in Alloy of the Law.

I'm considering adding a homebrew advancement, equivalent to becoming a misting, to become a ferring for a cost of 10. And that being a ferring is an option when you pick average powers.

Thoughts?

Zinc Feruchemy seems very interesting I think. I'm pretty confused on the tapping more than 10 charges section. It says that for every 10 charges tapped the user gets 1 "free" die for reactions and defense for the rest of a Conflict. Does this mean that once they use the "free" dice they go away, or is it like the shield prop where the benefit stays the entire Conflict? The wording in the book makes me think the latter, but a part of me thinks that's a little op, though I don't have experience yet, so I could be wrong. Any input on this?

Also, for the Feruchemy rules, it's stated that every 10 charges tapped increases the Outcome by 1, but the example given in the book involves raising a failing Result to a passing one as far as I can tell. How do you guys usually interpret this part, am I just misreading or missing something? Also, if the rule is to increase the Outcome, could it be used to make a negative Outcome positive, or should that part be treated like Nudges, that can make a failure more bearable, but it stays a failure?

Thanks in advance! Looking forward to this game!

Hey again! This game's been interesting so far, and I'm finally helping some people make their characters for an upcoming session, but I'm still a bit confused about certain things about combat.

I mostly understand how ranges work, like you take a step towards or away from someone and that's essentially just moving into a different range threshold in relation to that character.

My main question is, does this apply to objects/parts of the environment as well? Say there's a table within striking distance of a player, and they want to take cover behind it, would the process be for them to take a step towards it, so they're as close as possible?

Thanks again, looking forward to playing this!

I'm trying to find a group to play with and try out MAG for the first time. Are there any known discords or places where games are easy to find?

I had a good experience with my last post here, and I expect that I'll post a few more times. Thank you all!

I was wondering how movement works in combat, it mentions steps and that they're really only moving to different ranges in relation to a character or object. Since this is the case, would something like a playmat really only be good for having a general visual of where people and things are, like I wouldn't keep track of things like distance in feet like DnD right?

Also, is there any benefit to merely defending when declaring an action? If my understanding is correct, someone can just use their action dice as defense dice if they're attacked at all. Maybe it's because I've only read the example in the book, but the Thug character had over 12 dice, so theoretically could have used 10 for defense while having the required minimum of 2 for the action, and it seemed a bit excessive. Am I overthinking it because this situation isn't too likely or something?

Thanks again, looking forward to playing this, I'm lucky enough to have enough people to do so with.

Hey there!

I’m about to get the Mistborn Adventure Game, and probably just one, maybe two, expansions.

Which ones should I prioritize getting?

Hello! I feel the Mistborn rules can be quite complex, so I have made some reference sheets to make playing easier. I have included difficulty examples for the hopes of more consistent difficulties; these are a bit arbitrary, but I tried to set them as best I could given the difficulty examples from the book.

Let me know if you have any feedback!

I've restructured the use of space for convenience and visual appeal.

It only contains 4 power slots, so it is suitable for era 1 mistings or for era 2 characters. I may upload a 'mistborn/feruchemist' friendly version at one point

I'm gearing up to run a game with my friends and I had a question about Burdens. In the event that a character gets a Grave Burden which affects a limb, say broken bones in either an arm or a leg, does this restrict the sorts of actions that character can take, or say slow them down in the case of the leg? I know that Burden's never shrink dice pools, I just wanted to make sure that I understood their full effects. Is there a way to effectively disable opponents without bringing them to 0 in one of their resiliences?

As far as I can tell a crazy person with two broken arms swinging two swords has no penalty to attacking.

Any advice would be appreciated!

I've mostly played games as the Narrator in the Alloy of Law era, and I'm going to start a new game soon in the original setting.

One of my players wants to be a character that is a full Mistborn, but I've heard people complain that they are vastly overpowered when compared to Misting characters. (Mistborn get all metals at rating 4, and Mistings get one metal at rating 5 amd a stunt)

To balance them, I was thinking of letting them have one metal at rating 5, two at rating 4 and the rest at rating 3.

Would this still be too powerful? Are Mistborn that much of a problem in the first place?

Well, title says it all.

I read through era 1 and starting era 2 (alongside with stormliggt archive and wheel of time, yep, lotta stuff) and wanted to really try this game. Issue is that none of people I know read through at least era 1, don't wanna learn new system (because dnd5e) or I don't know what other god damn reason they can have.

So, if someone could adopt me, I would really like to try it through some online tools (roll20 but I would prefer Astral Tabletop if someone knows).

Although I'm not native english speaker, I don't wanna GM any game as speaking is much harder than listnening so xD, player position is good for me.

Thanks im advance (Y)

So thinking of running a mistborn game after the D&D game ends here's my idea for the opening

The world is in Era 4 space travel has become accessible and the planet of scadrial has made it's first contact with another planet in the world of Roshar things were going well and interplanetary trade deals were going great that was up until the point that Harmony decided to join one of these missions 4 months later and a gigantic corpse fell from the sky believed to be Harmony himself with there god being killed the people of Scadrial begins a interplanetary war between the two planets .

cut to are protagonist the players who have just been enrolled into the MSDA or misborn Space Defence Army as they begin there first year in which failure results in death and passing results in a hemalurgic spike , the players must survive the harsh environments of both war and school if they are to bring victory and revenge to there planet .

I would love some notes on what you guys think I should add or change : none of the players have read mistborn to my knowledge and I will be editing both worlds slightly to fit narratively but yeah I think it would be a neat concept

Hey y'all

I recently got into the mistborn rpg, and am currently running a campaign for my family, but I have come to a bit of a dilemma

Some friends and family want to experience the world's "start"- the world before the ascension- and, frankly, that sounds epic to me.

Unfortunately, I cannot find much material exploring this time to go off of- plus, a lot of stuff we have in later settings, we likely would not have in era 0, so I'm struggling to put together material (No kandra, allomancy's super rare, completely different social structure). Do any of y'all have ideas or reference material I could use?

So i had finished a long campaign about 3 months ago and immediatly made a new one out of the stuff the players hadn´t noticed (so it´s either a 3 month campaign or a 13 month one). I have 2 players a Kandra and a Kolossblodded with 2 spikes who are active in Elendel. Did some shenanigans and in the end they were in the center of a plot between the police, the engeneers guild, a Kandra supremacist pretending to be Kelsier and a survivorist priest crimeboss (also Trell and Harmony have locked each other out of Scadrial). I needed to make a map that would make any conspiracy theorist proud to keep track of it all.

In the end they managed to arrange everything in a way, that they only need to take out the Kandra to acchieve all of their goals with the other factions (excluding the Shards, that´s for the next campaign). The two of them confronted him in an abandoned church and what followed was probably one of the best fights of all session i have played so far.

The Kelsier Kandra was basicaly Bleeder with the Kandra PC as Wax, meaning they knew about hemalurgy and had made themself an extremly powerful Soother. The scene started with a villain monologe (which almost convinced the Kandra PC to join him) and then he tried to take control of the players via hemalurgy. I had them roll if the could resist it and the Kandra player managed to, but the Kolossblooded player didn´t. So the fight was the Kandra PC vs koloss PC + evil Kandra. IT. WAS. AWESOME!

The kolossblooded player had basicly two actions each turn, one being him trying to break free of the control and the other being his controled action (which had some disadvantage because of his fighting from the inside). The Kandra PC did his best not to hurt the koloss PC and managed to cut the enemy Kandra up quite a lot with his wolverine claws, but was down to 1hp. Seeing his friend on the brink of defeat gave the kolossblooded enough willpower to finally break the control for one big attack, which was enough to rip out the spikes from the evil Kandra returning him to a simple mistwraith.

I couldn´t have wished for a better endfight, the sequence with one character outnumbered fighting his friend, while said friend unsuccesfully tries to stop himself only to succeed when all seems lost! This might be among my favourite pen&papers memories of all time!

Really glad i went with that idea, but it was risky. If my players hadn´t also liked the idea (or if it hadn´t gone over as well as it did) that sequence would probably have been worthy of r/rpghorrorstories...

I am running a game on Saturday and am looking for help with ideas for the story. The crew is looking for money and wanting to rob a noble house. This is probably going to be a one-shot but may expand into a campaign. It takes place in luthendel before the events of the first book. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you!

IN FERUCHEMY : Feruchemists use Lerasium to store pure Feruchemical potential . which stores a feruchemist's feruchimical abilities . Unlike other metals one does not need to be a Feruchemists to tap this metal mind giving them whatever feruchemy powers are within it . Lerasium works differently from it's allomantic twin , instead this metal mind allows people to store there genetic feruchimical powers resaulting in them not only having them but also losing the genetic code for it . An example of this would be a keeper who stores all there power into a metal mind and then has a family with 2 kids , neither of those kids would have any potential for being a keeper if there was none in the mothers side either . in the opposite extreme a noble who borrows a lerasium metal mind could tap it gain the power have kids and then return the borrowed power resulting in there kids having the chance for feruchemical abilities .

Storing in a lerasiumind : Storing in a lerasium metal mind is very different in the fact that you may place 1 rank of a metal which a character posses into it resulting in 10 charges , once in the rank won't return unless you later tap the metal-mind : This can be done with 1 rank of each metal per hour .

Tapping a lerasiumind : Tapping a lerasium metal mind is quite unique instead of a temporary boost you instead gain an amount of ranks in a selected metal and as much as the tapper wishes provided that the metalmind has that metal stored . If a character already has a rank in a metal which is being tapped they are instead added to gather making it so if a character taps 8 pewter while they already have 4 it would give them 12 : In addition one does not need to previously have feruchemical powers to tap one of these metal minds .

( Homebrew note : this is just a couple of lose ideas given that lerasium would have some feruchemical ability , I though that it would be similar to the other allomancy metals in that they are always linked in some way so I made this . )

alright I have an odd question , If your character was an allomancer specifically one who's burnable is an alloy such as steel for example . What happens if your metal isn't the exact mixture they mentioned it in the first mistborn book about how exact compounds get you the most out of a metal , this implies that even if the ratio isn't exact you would get some charges . so to clarify my question is how would you calculate the amount of charges you get from a metal with the wrong ratio

So you wanna stop global warming but don't wanna deal with the annoying part about actually taking effort . So to do this quickly lets say during character creation you pick a ferring (we will be using alloy of law book) and pick brass then put your strong into your standing and make your spirit ratting a 8 , then Adventure where you go around using brass spikes to kill other firesoul ferrings lets say to keep it like you just killed random low dudes with a ratting of four , and you do this 7 times just avoiding insanity so it comes out to
5+4+4+4+4+4+4+4 =33
so with a fire soul ferring with 33 all you need do is take a boat to the ocean jump in and start charging , then with the laws of thermodynamics and heat distribution you will lower the area of the ocean you are in by 1,815 Fahrenheit or 990.5 Celsius

For example the lowest natural temperature ever directly recorded at ground level on Earth is −89.2 °C or −128.6 °F

TL;DR Fix global warming with the power of being cool and murder

I'm working on making a Stormlight Archive Adventure game based on the Mistborn adventure game; for those of you who don't know The Stormlight Archive us another book series by Brandon Sanderson. It's going to use the rules and game system from the Mistborn rpg just adapted to better fit Stormlight. I'll post again when it's done.

Spoilers for Era 1

I'm just sharing my ideas for my first Mistborn campaign that I'm planning on running to see if any of my ideas are unreasonable.

So, the main difference between the world of my campaign and the main Mistborn continuity is that Vin left the final ball early instead of saving Elend resulting in the deaths of Elend, Jastes Lekal, and Telden Hasting. Without Elend to calm down the crowd outside of Kredik Shaw, they stormed the building, destroying it and ultimately killing Vin and Sazed within after they were weak from killing the Lord Ruler. Following this, the city was thrown into utter chaos and was largely burnt to the ground killing many of the other members of the original crew.

A few months after this, various nobles have taken over large portions of the former Final Empire but have focused more on solidifying their own territory as opposed to striking towards the now destroyed Luthadel. Cett and Straff both hold territory similar to what they held in the books with the 2 main differences being that house Lekal has taken over a large portion of the Southern Dominance and koloss have ravaged the area to the north of Luthadel.

My players will be playing as members of the Lekal army that have distinguished themselves and have been chosen to work as a small group to take on specialized missions and would be directed by former Venture house guard, Felt. The main missions that the party would go on would be infiltrating other cities as well as addressing a rising force in the Eastern Dominance led by a powerful feruchemist claiming to be the grandson of the Lord Ruler. This "New Empire" is striking directly towards the ruins of Luthadel for an unknown reason.

I'm running a second era Private Detective campaign at the moment, and as I sit here planning a potential musical episode and future Cosmere spanning adventures, I'm wondering how everybody else's campaigns are going and what adventures are going on..

Putting togther a group for a game using this system

I've had the MAG since it came out and I've never had a chance to play. I'm just wondering if there was anyone here who is hosting a game online?

When running a session with a group I ran into some difficulties because 2 of the members hadn't read the books. Not wanting to spoil the books, because they are going to read them, I had to try and explain things in a non spoiling manner. Any tips? Thanks in advance.

I'm gonna be running my first game soon and I'm afraid I dont understand how much characters can store in their metalminds during breathers. For example for a short breather it says that they can store a number of charges equal to 10 x the amount which they can store in an hour in "any one of their metalminds". Now English isn't my first language so I gotta ask, does that mean they can store that much in each metalmind or just one?

Also when they store during sessions I assume 1 hour of storing is one in-game hour right?

Thanks in advance.
