Plotweaver is currently getting developed by a wonderful group of folks! So, please read (and share!) below about the people making this awesome game 🧵

Personally I think this is too much money to give to Donald trumps poorly trained but heavily armed Militia

If anyone here knows how to get in touch with the lovely artist behind Snowy's Maps (snowysmaps.bsky.social) I would like to offer them some commission work! And I know this sort of an awkward way to get in touch with someone, but it can be surprisingly difficult to find artists' contact info. 😅

We've updated the Plotweaver website with some lovely new art from Cristian Benavides. Check it out, and if you haven't already, take the survey about what you'd like to see from this new genre-spanning open source RPG system! www.plotweaverrpg.com

Very excited for this, especially with @mericmoir.bsky.social spearheading the development! Lots and lots and lots of fun plans for the future. Follow the Plotweaver accounts to stay tuned! You won't want to miss out.

Please allow this proud dad a moment to brag about my kids: My 18 year-old earned straight A's during his first quarter of pre-med classes at Northwestern. My 16 year-old got accepted to a summer program at Yale to study law and politics. And my 10 year-old won a writing award today at school! 🎉

p.s. if you want to PUBLISH content for those non-Cosmere worlds of your own—maybe even for real money—you should definitely watch this space 😉

After-hours fun at Dragonsteel Nexus with @brotherwisegames.bsky.social (and friends from Kickstarter and Demiplane)!

Getting to dunk @johnnyoneal.bsky.social was the highlight of my month and it’s not even over

On Saturday at Dragonsteel Nexus, the Cosmere RPG team is running our first-ever actual play for the Mistborn campaign setting! I'll be playing Jacques Ardot, an overconfident dilettante with Gold-powered super-healing. The team is running some hilarious characters... this is gonna be fun!

My office is unusually clean today, so here's a look at my workspace! Like everyone at @brotherwisegames.bsky.social, I work from home. I surround myself with various geeky items, a complete library of Brotherwise games, and mementos from my days at Mattel, Spin Master, and Moose Toys.

Happy Thanksgiving! We had an amazing feast (including the best-ever hoisin bacon butter roasted turkey) with my beloved sister-in-law June and her friends from Taiwan. After dinner, we went for a nighttime stroll at the local botanical garden's "Astra Lumina" exhibit. Lots of reasons for gratitude!

When recording videos for Brotherwise, I tend to skip writing a script because A) it's easier and B) improvising sounds a little more natural. The ad lib approach usually works, but I don't always stick the landing.

It's been a while since the last time I attended a Magic pre-release, but I couldn't resist stopping by the Game Hub to play the new Avatar set! Put together a pretty decent green/white Allies deck with Aang, Momo, Sokka, and Kyoshi. Lots of exiling and earthbending. Good times!

Earlier this year, my wife and I went to see a 90's cover band and had a total blast. So we found a similar band and did it the next weekend. Then we found a dive bar with live music, and another local venue with a great DJ. Then we realized that nothing stops us from doing this every weekend! 1/2

Let's play the Cosmere RPG! This awesome new TTRPG is now in stores, so @suenshine.bsky.social and I worked with the Dragonsteel team to create this fun series of videos about what makes this system so fun to play. The playlist *just* launched, so check it out! youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Genuinely some of the coolest stuff I've ever backed on Kickstarter, can't wait to see the mistborn collection, from @brotherwisegames.bsky.social

Dragonsteel Nexus is officially one month away, and we couldn't be more excited! Make sure to check out our Cosmere Gaming panel on Saturday morning, and the live playthrough of the RPG on Saturday evening! We'll also have various demos happening throughout the convention. You won't want to miss it!

The Stormlight and Cosmere RPG Miniatures STLs are now available for purchase on MyMiniFactory! https://www.myminifactory.com/users/BrotherwiseGames Get individual STLs of the miniatures from the Cosmere RPG and Stormlight Premium Miniatures Kickstarter campaigns, or bundle up on each pack!

One of my professional dreams is working on an Avatar board game. Brotherwise pitched for the rights twice. The second time, we got so close that we started art! We planned original pieces, but we were also working with @dmacalvert.bsky.social to paint over stills from the show. Here's an example!

After years in development, playtesting and refinement, and months of pre-launch campaigning, I'm proud and excited to say that my brand new #TTRPG JourneyMon: Monster Trainer Roleplaying is now LIVE on Kickstarter! Back the game in PDF and print right here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ilg...

"Above silence, the illuminating storms —dying storms— illuminate the silence above." Join us this Thursday for the premiere of Dying Storms, our brand new Cosmere TTRPG from Brotherwise Games, GMed by @craiggumz.bsky.social. See you at: twitch.tv/magirpg Character art by: @crhysbe.bsky.social

Today I was invited to give a career talk at my son's high school, which was supposed to include a section on your career path. I presented mine like a board game, and I think the result is pretty cute. My message for the kids: don't expect your path to a creative industry job to be a straight one!

We FINALLY Got Our #StormlightArchives TTRPG Set!!! The teams at @brotherwisegames.bsky.social & @dragonsteelbooks.com have put together an absolutely top tier Kickstarter here. There is a NEW BAR. youtu.be/_ccbS5wEAt4?...

TORQUE BORG is now Live on Kickstarter! Time to melt some faces as we race across the waste like a bat out of hell! www.kickstarter.com/projects/977...

I had a blast tonight playing Super Boss Monster 2 with @brotherwisegames.bsky.social! We even got a fun promo for Boss Monster Junior 😋 #boardgames

I've lived in the LA area for almost 20 years and somehow never made it to Frank & Son until yesterday. It's like the merch stalls at a con, but always there! My son and I had fun checking it out. I got a few Magic cards (including some lucky pulls) and he got Pokemon cards and Demon Slayer merch.

About to jump online to play Super Boss Monster 2 with @banzainator.bsky.social and @meanpomelo.bsky.social! Come join us! twitch.tv/banzainator

Took the day off to celebrate Beverly's birthday! We spent the morning biking up and down the Strand, ate steamed crab and Korean noodles for lunch, then enjoyed a lazy afternoon. We've been celebrating birthdays together since we were teenagers and life just keeps getting better. 💕

This week's hike: going off-trail in Lunada Bay. The little guy did a great job traversing some pretty vertical areas, and we were rewarded with awesome tide pools full of baby crabs.

My 16-year-old is interested in getting into politics, so my parents gifted him their collection of political buttons dating back to the 60s. Here are a few of them.

✨Role Announcement!✨ You can hear me as The Dice Queen in the trailer for the new card game; Super Boss Monster 2! 🎲 She was such a fun character to voice and the team at Brotherwise Games have just launched the Kickstarter for it! 😍 youtu.be/BV6M0IYgBIM 🔗👇 #voiceacting #voiceactor #trailers

Feast your eyes on this magnificence mortals!!! My Stormlight RPG books arrived. Big thanks to @brotherwisegames.bsky.social , @johnnyoneal.bsky.social and all the artists involved for creating such a piece of art when it comes to TTRPGs. #cosmere #stormlightarchives #brandonsanderson #ttrpg

Enjoyed a great afternoon of gaming today, including my first time playing Captain Sonar. Thanks for inviting me, Christina and @danshoehsu.bsky.social!

Guess who visited Dragonsteel HQ this week? Johnny, Chris, and Lydia met with Brandon and the team to discuss the future of Cosmere board games and RPGs. So much cool stuff coming... stay tuned for announcements at Dragonsteel Nexus!

Huge congrats to the Cosmere RPG team @brotherwisegames.bsky.social as fulfillment rolls out on the Stormlight RPG. I'm proud of my small part making the digital versions accessibility ready and can't wait for everyone to see all the upcoming work this team has in store!

Saw Grandaddy in concert last night at the Fonda. They played all of the Sophtware Slump (which came out 25 years ago! 😭) and a selection of great songs from other albums. Pedro the Lion opened and Conor Oberst was in the audience. It was a very indie rock night with @dzevans.bsky.social!

Everyone at Brotherwise Games is so proud of Jillian Schumacher, Finalist for Marketing Visionary at the 2025 Women in Toys Awards! It was great fun rubbing elbows with industry luminaries and celebrating Jillian at this glitzy event in Beverly Hills. Go Jillian! 👑 @brotherwisegames.bsky.social

This week we're dropping off our 18-year-old at college, so there have been a lot of goodbyes. But the toughest was with Jack's 16-year-old brother, D. Here's what they said, through tears, as they hugged each other. D: I don't know how to be without you. J: You're better than me. You'll be great.

Today my 9-year-old wanted to play Twilight Princess on our Wii U, which hasn't worked in years. I looked up instructions online, warned him that we maybe had a 10% chance of success, and opened the controller. But it worked! Honestly shocked that we fixed it.

👏👏👏This team rocks. It's filled to the brim with savvy, talented, kind folks who continually roll up their sleeves and dream worlds into being. It's an honor to know and work with this crew. Sidenote: If you're curious what roles make up a professional TTRPG team, the whole thread is a great read 👇

Fulfillment is now underway for the Cosmere RPG! We've sent PDFs to all backers, and books started shipping this week. So now seems like a great time to celebrate the awesome team behind this project. This is a LONG thread, but please read (and share!) it anyway, because this team deserves it. 🧵

Hey friendos! We have a new series out on YT! Check out "Last Stand at Relanar Keep" a #CosmereRPG game with level 15 characters! Using our pop-up-video/learn-to-play format that you've seen before with Achtung! Cthulhu and Cohors Cthulhu 30m episodes every Friday! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejN2...

What can a board game teach us about life? I've designed several games (like Boss Monster & Call to Adventure), and contributed to others (like the Cosmere RPG). But if I could convince you to play just one of my games, it would be Adulthood. Read this thread for why... and for 10 Life Lessons! 🧵

me, a 45-year old indie rock aficionado: *watches Kpop Demon Hunters* "Wait, is this music what K-pop sounds like?" *listens to BLACKPINK, EXO, and TWICE* "Wait, do I like K-pop?" 🤯

We're looking to hire pixel artists for Super Boss Monster 2! Earlier today I posted a recruiting form, but I made the mistake of cross-posting it to X, where it was instantly overwhelmed with spam replies. So here's revised form that I won't post over there! Apply here: forms.gle/tt4tbbCdvQsi...

Since 2012, we've worked with a ton of amazing artists to create the look for Boss Monster. Now we're looking to hire some new freelance pixel artists: 🎨 forms.gle/k57ma7iba3D9... If you know any artists who work in this style, please share this application form with them! #pixelart #pixelartist

Last night the @brotherwisegames.bsky.social had an after-hours mixer that included a sneak peek at a new Cosmere RPG actual play by @12sidedstudios.bsky.social, featuring @jwcartwright.bsky.social as GM! All of us are so excited to be working with Jasper and his all-star team!
