Tabletop RPGs Based On Brandon Sanderson's Novels Are Cheap Right Now

Brandon Sanderson is one of the most prolific authors of our time, responsible for dozens of popular sci-fi and fantasy novels. Few series are as popular as his Stormlight Archive saga, which began in 2010 with The Way of Kings and will get its fifth installment, Wind and Truth, on December 6. But if you can't wait that long, why not check out some Sanderson-inspired board games to help bide your time? Many of them are currently on sale, but all offer an in-depth RPG experience that pulls directly from books published by Sanderson.

Alongside The Stormlight Archive game, you'll even find ones inspired by Patrick Rothfuss novels and the Mistborn series. Here's a look at our favorite deals.

Call to Adventure: Stormlight Archive

Call to Adventure is a tabletop RPG that lets you build a hero before sending them on a sprawling adventure. The base game includes over 150 illustrated cards and 24 custom runes, allowing you to build different quests every time you play. Several expansions are also available to help you extend your journeys. And while you'll need the base game to play most expansions, The Stormlight Archive can also be played as a standalone adventure.

• Call to Adventure: Base Game -- $31 ($40)
• Call to Adventure: Epic Origins -- $41 ($45)
• Call to Adventure: The Stormlight Archive -- $33
• Call to Adventure: Name of the Wind -- $22

Mistborn Tabletop RPG

Sanderson's Mistborn saga has several tabletop games up for grabs, as well as unique dice sets to accompany them. You'll want to start with the standard Mistborn Adventure Game, as this gets you everything you need to learn how to play. Games can run for over two hours, making it the ideal pick for a long game night. Once you've got the hang of things, you can dive into expansions like House War: Siege of Luthadel, which includes a few miniatures, new cards, Hero of the Mistborn novels, and is on sale for just $20 (down from $35).
