About Complicated Opportunities: A Cosmere RPG Podcast
Step into the Cosmere like never before. This podcast explores the Cosmere Roleplaying Game from a GMs Perspective—bringing Brandon Sanderson’s worlds to your tabletop. From character creation and Radiants to unique mechanics like the Plot Die, initiative, and endeavors, we break down the rules, share GM strategies, and offer campaign prompts to spark your imagination.
[PREVIEW] Mistborn Legacy’s Secret Weapon: Backstories that Change the Game
Welcome back to Complicated Opportunities! The best thing about Mistborn Legacy is not the time skip, it’s what your first character leaves behind. Kyle and Irving break down how the game turns legacy into a living mechanic, where Era One choices shape the descendants you play 300 years later and can even change what you start with in Era Two.They dig into the six Era 1 legacies and their Era 2 counterparts, showing how each one creates different story moments, mechanical rewards, and roleplaying challenges. Kyle and Irving also explore what makes the system stand out: how player decisions carry forward without needing to optimize for the future, how legacy choices deepen the campaign’s story, and why the final payoff feels rewarding for both GMs and players.
Whether you love Mistborn, enjoy RPGs with long-term payoffs, or want ideas for making history matter at your table, this conversation explores how a character’s choices can echo across generations.
