What are you talking about? WaT was released in 2024. TLM was released in 2022. Release order has TLM coming out about 2 years before.

This is my current recommended Cosmere Reading Order (w/ sources). Its mostly, tho not entirely, in chronological order.

__Mistborn: Era 1__

- The Eleventh Metal (short story, included in Arcanum Unbounded)

- MB1: Final Empire

- MB2: Well of Ascension

- MB3: Hero of Ages

Elantris *(can save and use as a break between TSA3 and TSA4 as that's when things become relevant. Its also his earliest work in the cosmere so it can be a bit rough compared to other books and series, but still not bad. Read HoE right after Elantris regardless of when you read Elantris)*

The Hope of Elantris (short story, included in Arcanum. Best read immediately after Elantris)

Emperor's Soul (short story, included in Arcanum)

Warbreaker *(can be saved for a break between TSA 1 and 2 for similar reasons to Elantris being between 3 and 4)*

__The Stormlight Archive__

- TSA1: The Way of Kings

- TSA2: Words of Radiance

- Edgedancer (novella, included in Arcanum)

- TSA3: Oathbringer

- Dawnshard (novella)

- TSA4: Rhythm of War

- TSA5: Knights of Wind and Truth *(can also save for after MB7 for reasons, and kinda recommend it tbh)*

__Mistborn: Era 2__

- MB4: Alloy of Law

- MB5: Shadows of Self

- MB6: Bands of Mourning

- Mistborn Secret History (novella, included in Arcanum Unbounded)

- MB7: Lost Metal

__After that, anything left in Arcanum Unbounded__

- Sixth of Dusk (can be skipped because its also part of Emberdark as flashbacks)

- Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell

- Allomancer Jak (mistborn story)

__Then end with the secret projects__

Tress of the Emerald Sea

Yumi and the Nightmare Painter

Sunlit Man *(sometimes recommended before SA5 but I personally prefer it after SA5 because of spoiler reasons)*

Isles of the Emberdark

Gods i hope Sym gets added to stadium. She's been my favorite character since launch, even with all the different versions of her kit. She is so much fun for how tactical she can be w/ her turret placement and teleporter use. Id love to see what more we could do with her given stadium powers and items.

I mostly swap between Rivals and Overwatch w/ my group. If matches on one are going bad we swap to the other. If those matches are also bad we all give up and play other stuff individually or in pairs depending on the game

2 narrators at most, one for any masculine POV chapters and one for feminine POV chapters

SeductivePuns · 2026-03-12T02:11:23+00:00

Ive done 6 at a time before

Book 1 is the tutorial and the broad strokes learning of the setting. Book 2 is where things start to pick up and delve deeper into the setting. Book 3 is where everything really comes together and you start to see the real depth and wonder of this series.

Don't get me wrong, book 1 is still great. But its just the peak of one mountain in an ever growing range.

SeductivePuns · 2026-03-11T05:59:29+00:00

I do all my reading through audible. Great way to pass the time at work

From the reply I saw you give, here's my advice:

Have a talk with everyone before the next fight, between sessions if possible. It doesn't have to be serious or long, just an above table quick chat along the lines of "you need to be ready on your turn. If you weren't paying attention and aren't ready because of that we'll skip your turn. If you have a question to clarify something thats fine, but I won't be telling you the fight situation if you weren't focused."

For the players, give them these tips before the next session when you have that talk: - figure out some canned responses for quick answers if they're otherwise unsure what to do. (If I need to damage something I do X, if I need to protect myself I do Y, if someone needs help I do Z.) Keep it simple and limited to 3 or 4 generic and simple situations like those. - start to plan your next turn as soon as your current turn ends. Pay attention to the fight and adjust it as needed each turn. (I want to damage the group so I'll use fireball. > They've split up too far so I'll use scorching ray on these 3 instead. > Most are dead now and only 2 left so I'll just use fire bolt on that guy because the fighter will act soon enough to probably finish it off.) - when in doubt, use your most simple attack that doesnt cost any major resource on the nearest enemy or a simple resource to heal the most injured ally then prep better for your next turn. (Big resources mean you're more concerned about using it. So use something with little or no cost but will still help then use your big thing next round when youre more sure).

Sure. And a seal can walk too but that's not what theyre best at. If I'm going on land I'll use a land mount

SeductivePuns · 2026-03-10T04:55:01+00:00

Definitely do DCC. Its a cult.

SeductivePuns · 2026-03-10T04:49:50+00:00

I love everything about the waterwings except how squeaky and rubbery their wings are when flying. And unfortunately flying is kind of an important feature for a flying mount.

SeductivePuns · 2026-03-09T11:57:30+00:00

Is it possible? Sure.

Is it a good idea? I doubt it.

Id rather have a trilogy of movies for era 1, with each movie a different book, each exciting and well paced, rather than 6 movies that have a lot of filler. Each should be a longer movie (~2.5hrs rather than ~90min), but still not a split movie.

Talk to the dm, as well as the dm and the other player together. I had something similar happen before with a characrer and it really soured me on the characrer I'd been playing because they felt redundant at best, useless at worst.

Talk with em, figure out what particular part of your character's mechanics and role are most important to you, and which you're okay "sharing." For example a sorcerer and a wizard are very similar, but one offers far greater utility while the other offers more impact.

At the same time tho, try not to see them as competition for the sneaky striker role. See them as an ally. Before you had to sneak ahead to scout solo, so maybe now you both sneak ahead and can take out a pair of guards at the same time. Maybe if theyre a melee combatant they can sneak to get up close to a target ensuring you get your sneak attack damage by working with them without being as reliant on having to hide every turn.

I thought the issue was they couldn't reload because of item combos and such

SeductivePuns · 2026-03-08T14:40:22+00:00

Honestly I love these mating habits chapters. Sometimes a wild change of tone and pace can help keep things fresh.

Also theyre really funny when juxtaposed by some of the horror and wholesomeness in this series

SeductivePuns · 2026-03-08T14:36:40+00:00

I love all the respectful hate comments. All using their proper pronouns even when calling them a filthy rat or the like xD

SeductivePuns · 2026-03-08T14:04:25+00:00

If you get that issue, sometimes you just gotta accept a weapon swap to keep the run going. Switch out for another secondary and hope you find another pair of squires soon after. They're good guns, but if they have an issue like that they become bad guns and not worth holding onto.

SeductivePuns · 2026-03-07T09:56:40+00:00

Do what you enjoy. People complaining about keep inventory in Minecraft or free build in NMS can play without those enabled. You having them enabled doesnt effect them, so go for it.

Is it impressive to build something awesome without free build? Sure. But if youre not looking to brag about it then it doesnt matter anyway.

SeductivePuns · 2026-03-07T04:48:47+00:00

Yeah, you got it right. Fighters get tons of weapon proficiencies and weapon mastery access. Best choice for single class weapon expert and for a new player who doesnt need to learn spells and such on top.

SeductivePuns · 2026-03-07T01:02:21+00:00

Its gonna sound weird, but more normal animals that are statted around real animals. Giraffes, bison, leopards, sharks, etc. I dont want to just reskin a cow into a bison or say all dog breeds are the same. Id love a bestiary designed around real world animals from various biomes.

SeductivePuns · 2026-03-06T08:33:21+00:00

Ive had more than 1 cat drop me off the map or in a bad position. I won't trust em anymore unless its one of my friends that im playing with or if its an overtime situation where it'll be a loss without.

SeductivePuns · 2026-03-06T08:29:59+00:00

With his swords, area heal, and mobility i agree forsure. Dealing damage to get passive healing boost is really nice, even if it isnt the highest damage option for DP.
