Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive tabletop RPG coming in 2024

Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archives series of novels is getting an official tabletop game, the author announced on Tuesday on YouTube. While the details on the game are scarce at the moment, he revealed that it’s currently aimed at a 2024 release window and that Sanderson and the team behind it are currently referring to it as “Stormlight Role-Playing Game.”

Sanderson discussed the game on his YouTube show with the project’s art director, Isaac Stewart, as well as Brotherwise Games’ Johnny O’Neal. Brotherwise Games has previously collaborated in Stormlight Archives’ universe on two different projects, which included the card game. The Stormlight Archives: Call for Adventure. The company has multiple successful crowdfunding campaigns behind it, including its current project — a series of miniatures based on Sanderson characters that has pulled in more than $2.2 million from backers in a little more than a week. This campaign will run through October 13th, with delivery anticipated by July 2023.
