So Brotherwise had their big panel about Cosmere games today, I heard some tidbits via Reddit but will share more here when they do an official recap and the images are available. One thing they did mention was that Plotweaver is chugging along as an open source version of fhe game and they...

I presume that you mean starting something new, as opposed to playing D&D again (which I do want to do pretty much anytime), so I'll say: Stormlight Archives RPG: when scheduling allows, God willing and thw creek don't rise, thisnia the next thing for us. Mistborn RPG: Maybe a better Settong...
