Contains a short story:
The Eleventh Metal - (3/5) - Kelsier's backstory training with Gemmel, three months after escaping the pits of Hathsin. It is intended to introduce the magic system and world to people playing the RPG who might not have read the books. It's short and interesting, but more exposition/history than plot.

Looks like a cool game, but comes with a lot of solid storytelling advise anyways

I'm not a dice RPG gamer, but I did want to read the short story in here - "The 11th Metal". It's a prequel for the first book of the first Mistborn trilogy. That said, it's definitely best not to read before having read the first book of the trilogy unless you want some spoilers. Actually, I think the best place for a reader would be to read it after the second book as the reader would be able to get even more out of it. Story-wise it's in the category of the fan service prequel. There's no reason to read it other than to see a main character from the first book before that character was good at their job. Nothing is revealed that wasn't already sufficiently revealed in the first book. So it's all fan-service fun. That said, if put together with revelations from the last book in the trilogy, it does raise some interesting questions.
For the RPG section, don't read that part until you've read the whole first trilogy unless you don't mind spoilers before reading a story.

I thought this rulebook was very clear and well organized. This will be my first time narrating / GMing (in any RPG), so I appreciated the sections about how to create my own scheme based on the books and all of the gameplay examples throughout. I also loved the character illustrations throughout the book - I have read both eras of the Mistborn books but I hadn't seen any depictions of mistwraiths or koloss before reading this! Very excited for my group's first session to put all of this information to use. :)
