I am currently in the process of making a homebrew ttrp adaptation of the reckoners series and was looking to make a table for Epic abilities and powers, though I ma struggling with finding an extensive list of some Epic abilities across the series, if anyone would be keen on highlighting what a couple prime invincibility's would be or other powers such as Steel hearts power blasts, all would be appreciated (Also some more minor powers like infinite bullets for a gun aren't out of the question)

The Reckoners Series is a YA fantasy. But do you guys think a mature audience, in their 30s or 40s, would enjoy this series too? Or do you think it's mainly targeted to YA audience? I haven't read any of the books, so it would be nice if there were no spoilers, please :)

Hello, I'm new to Brandon Sanderson books. I'm trying to decide what book I'll read next and The Reckoners Series seems very interesting, but I saw some complains about the last book, Lux. So I'd like to know if it would make sense to read just the first three books and stop, like a trilogy. What do you guys think? Please, no spoilers, if possible :)

Hey there! I got this commission made of Megan by the comic artist Emanuela Lupacchino back at New York Comic Con 2019, based on what we had on her physical description (she had not read the series).

What do y'all think?

Personal project I've been working on for a while now, fan art of Megan Tarash. I've heard the audiobooks by Macleod Andrews so many times now and every time I listened I thought I had to make a little tribute to this amazing world and characters. Hope you like it!

Anyone else think that might make for a cool game?

Your character is a reckoner in a city divided into districts. Each district has several epics in it you have to fight. If you f die they might gain new powers or even turn into high epics.

High epics would have to be fight with brains and not brain with missions gdedicated to finding their weaknesses and a final mission to take them out for good

Dies that sound fun to y’all

So is the symbol of the faithful supposed to be the Superman symbol, like is literally supposed to be the symbol from the comic books? It would make sense since Superman is the ultimate version of what a good epic would look like.

If not is it because comics don’t exist in this world or is the symbol markedly different from the Superman.

Or is it not the Superman S because of copyright issues

So Larcener(Calamity) took prof's power from him. Then how did prof got his powers back?

Megan separated her powers from the darkness but she still had her powers. but prof had no powers then how?

Hey there!

I am new to the BS world and The Reckoners is my first series by Brandon Sanderson. I just finished Calamity and am currently missing the characters - especially Megan, who ended up being my favorite of them all.

Out of curiosity, I ended up looking into character wikis online to learn more. I saw that Megan's surname is Tarash. However, I cannot recall her name being mentioned in the books - ever. I remember that, amongst the Reckoners, David, Abraham, Mizzy and Prof's surnames being mentioned, but not Megan's.

Am I missing something?

Considering his spidey sense in combination with his super human agility and speed, would you consider that a prime invincibility as categorized by David?

So David coined the name Limelight for a fake epic before knowing prof was an Epic. Later prof claims that name to help sell the story. So than why does prof have powers that actually emits green lights? I can't remember did the "Tensors" enit green light when used and David used that as part of devising the fake story?

I just have to say my mom got me the Reckoners board game as a Christmas/late birthday present, and it is SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will forever be amazed on how Brandon Sanderson managed to turn a silly weakness of Kool Aid as a door to what the Epics’ weaknesses were: their fears. Because of this weakness, it’s interesting to theorize how the previous Epics acquired their fears.

Starting with Steelheart, before he became Steelheart, he was Paul Jackson, a high school track star that had a penchant for hurting his teammates and being an asshole. I’d like to think that Paul’s teammates and some of those teammates’ friends made a plan to jump and severely beat Paul for a variety of reasons. The beating probably left Paul damn near death and gave him the weakness we now know.

For Nightwielder, his weakness was UV light. My theories for why that is his weakness varies. Either he had some sort of disease that made him allergic to sunlight, got attacked in broad daylight, or was just a that bad of a recluse (like Hikikkomori)

And lastly for Refractionary, the only reasons why I’d see anybody fear smoke is if they were in a fire and/or had medical problems due to firsthand/secondhand smoke

I've just finished Steelheart and this is mentioned this at least 5 times.

So I thought I'd remind people who may have forgotten just how subtle Abraham's accent is. It's subtle.

First of all, I have read only book 1 of the reckoners, so please avoid spoilers for sequel books.

Now, one of the major plot twists in Steelheart is that >!Megan is Firefight.!< I could not make sense of it because the Reckoners move from city to city after they hit Epics, so they should would not have been in Newcago for long, yet she's supposed to be >!one of Steelhearts most important henchmen. !<

One explanation to this is that she is a newer member of the crew and has always operated in Newcago so far. I think this is far fetched, she's the newest member other than David, but she definitively doesn't look THAT new, in fact she looks experienced.

Is there any part in the book where they mention how long she's been with the Reckoners? I just can't make sense of this.

It's been a while since I've read Firefight, but I remember that they used a submarine to get around Babilar, and I was wondering, does Sanderson ever describe the outward appearance of the sub? What does it look like? edit: to be more specific, did he ever mention color or eccentricities that should make me expect it looks any different from modern submarines? Just curious, as the post-apocalyptic nature of the world makes me hesitant to imagine it as the warship-looking submarines we have today

I just started reading Calamity and ever since the first book I have been curious as to why Brandon uses the term Mobile for the device. As someone from the UK, I use Mobile whereas Americans call them cellphones. With Reckoners being set in America, I would have expected that they would be called Cellphones. Is a reason ever explained (no spoilers for Calamity please)? Or does anyone have their own headcanon?

If we end up getting more books with the Texas cell, I'd like to see them swing by Wade's gamer cave at least once. It would be a good window into the technology of the setting, with Knighthawk Foundry at least showing that tech isn't exactly like it is in our world, and could introduce some interesting concepts regarding international communities and connectivity post-Calamity if we get to see more of the internet Wade keeps mentioning. Wade is also a perfectly-preserved pre-Calamity specimen, managing to show up onscreen with Cheetoh dust on his superhero shirt like any modern-day nerdlord, and his personal lair is probably in the same vein. Just like we saw David struggle to process the people of Babilar, I think it would be interesting to see how two child soldiers fare when they get to see a scene from their past encased in amber-- Jax especially has a hero complex, and I'd love to see him pick up a controller and play some off-brand Mario Kart (or struggle to play? Maybe it'll be guns all over again and he'll just lose). It would also be funny to see Herschel have an aneurysm and try not to inhale any nerd fumes or Twinkie vapors.

I finished Steelheart yesterday and just started reading firefight. Im a few chapters in and David has been mentioning Mitosis which I understand happens in between the 2 books. Should I stop reading and read Mitosis first? Or continue with Firefight and come back to Mitosis later?

I just finished the Steelheart audiobook and really enjoyed it. I did notice one thing that I'd like to get some opinions on. I'm sorry if this has been posted before, I did a search of the sub for similar mentions and didn't find anything. MacLoed Andrews did a great job narrating but his intonation for David really reminded me of a slightly more competent Fry from Futurama. The way the character is written seemed to fit really well too, especially the bad metaphors. I love Futurama, so it was kind of a fun take on it. I just wondered if anyone else noticed this, and I'm sorry to anyone who can't unhear that now.
