I did the one without the swag initially, but then I heard him mention tshirts may be in the swag boxes. Stickers and pins and such don't matter much to me, because I'm a grown man. However, I would wear the hell out of a nerdy Stormlight themed shirt.

I wonder if this response would give him any more sway with getting some of his projects turned into film or tv.
Just pledged my $40 to help him out.

I am still so pissed I missed out on the Way of Kings HBs. They are never doing another run of those, correct?

I went with the $200 option. Even though I'm pretty ****ing broke at the moment.
Sanderson is an incredible man and frankly, is inspiring. I'll do my part. He deserves it.

Watching his video, I am saddened to realize that I've been an enabler of this all these years--contributing to the mounting factors that ultimately led him down this path.
I've always said he was built different. His dedication and drive is almost pathological. I should not be shocked in resulted in this. Again, I pledged $200 towards him. No matter what, I believe in him.
Sometimes memes are perfect.
Brandon has the first couple of chapters up for secret book 1 for those who don't want to wait.

Don't think so, but this company is selling a set of dust jackets for hardcovers with the layout below, with a different set of art for the second half of the series. You would just need to find the right hardcovers for them to fit.

Don't like it. That is not what Urithiru looks like. It is not up against a mountain. There are literally drawings in the book.
This kickstarter is going to outgross most movies within a week

Apparently it's the second largest kickstarter fundraiser in its history.
Passed the Pebble Watch to take number 1 overnight. Absolutely nuts.
Over $21 million now
The $120 shipping and handling for loot boxes seems high

That $120 includes shipping for twelve monthly packages (four books plus eight loot boxes), right? $10 shipping per package isn't incredible, but it's not out of bounds.bearamedic99 said:

Article in the NYT already about how successful this campaign has been.
Teaser for book 3 dropped. Looks incredible. (Not sure if we're trying to stay spoiler free on this thread, so I wont say anything more)

Currently at $29.7 million, almost 50% higher than the second largest kickstarter.
The news of the Kickstarter reminded me that I never did get to Rhythm of War so I just read Dawnshard and am now reading RoW. Only downside is it will slow down my book count for the year. I set a goal of 85 books for this year but RoW is so long I know I won't make it.
I have never read his other series - I'm guessing they are worth reading? Are they similar quality as the Stormlight Archive?

I personally enjoy all of his series including mistborn, reckoners, and skyward.
As a fantasy pick probably best to stick with mistborn. I liked the original trilogy significantly more than the sequel trilogy but I know some really like the sequels just as much.
Reckoners series is just fun as hell. Skyward is a little more young adult but still really good.
Also Rhythm of War should count for at least 2 books towards your count

Just started Elantris. I've read Mistborn/W&W and Stormlight Haven't read the short stories yet, but have the arcanum.
Gonna get through the unread stuff then start a W&W reread for the next book.

I'm assuming that Sanderson had some extra free time this week, so he wrote two more novels and solved peace in Israel.
Graphics definitely lead me to believe it is Mistborn related. Maybe a TV series or movie deal announcement?
Or a Mistborn-related Secret Project they held back to give the Kickstarter one last little boost at the end?

I'm curious if the success of the kickstarter gave whoever is currently paying for the rights of Mistborn to take a second look at it.

Somebody is taking a look at it. The only people I trust to do it decently is HBO though. Netflix would be my second choice and after WoT Amazon is in dead last.

Please give Brandon total control on a HBO season one Final Empire and just spend one season on each book in the Cosmere. Despite some downer opinions I believe Warbreaker could be one of the most visually amazing books in cinematic history.
I find it hilarious that Hollywood tries to force all this girl power crap down our throats through crappy story lines, poor unlikeable characters, and bad character growth. Meanwhile, Brandon has these amazing stories with actual great female protagonists... you would think Hollyweird would be salivating over them.
