Brandon Sanderson Says He ‘Would Love to’ Create Tabletop Adaptations of His…

Brandon Sanderson confirmed he would consider tabletop adaptations of his Skyward series, but cautions against overloading fans. He has already partnered with Brotherwise Games on Cosmere board games and a larger TTRPG, and plans a Mistborn expansion for November. While a Skyward TV series is in development, a tabletop version remains unlikely in the near future. The Cytoverse’s first expansion, Blightfall, and the upcoming War for Roshar strategy game illustrate Sanderson’s ongoing focus on carefully chosen collaborations.

💡 The decision underscores Sanderson’s strategic restraint, ensuring new projects resonate with audiences rather than diluting his brand.
