Want to know more about Crows, the dungeon survival horror RPG from MCDM? I got you covered like a quilt with this FREE Patreon post (and a look at some incredible art from Nick De Spain). www.patreon.com/posts/introd...

Hell yeah! Check out the backerkit for Crows: Fortune or Death.

After months of hard work and many evenings giggling as I turned wacky kobold prompts into stat blocks, I'm thrilled to announce that version 1.0 is ready! If you got it on Itch, you can download the new version from the Itch page. If you got it on Backerkit, a download email should go out soon. 🧵

Finally, after four months of work, the map for my new Draw Steel campaign is ready. Created in Inkarnate.

I recently hade yet another person seem surprised by my rates: so I figured it would be good to just make them public. These may change, but my plan is they'll stay discounted from my standard rates beacuse I like working on #drawsteel projects ⚔️ Im working on some rates for Items as well, but tbd

On top of my other ttrpg projects, I've also decided to write up a one shot for Alien: Evolved Edition. I've written three Blade Runner case files in the past. I reckon it'll be good to flex that particular set of writing muscles again.

Did you know that Will Reeve, Christopher Reeve's son has a cameo in James Gunn's Superman? He plays the TV reporter during the Kaiju scene. Have a good day.

Congrats to Gavin! Well deserved!

I want to make a 'death knight' class for Draw Steel. But have no idea where to start! I think a good source of inspo might be how the class plays in WoW. What I ask you though, what is the core fantasy behind playing a death knight character in any fantasy setting? #DrawSteel

Ride into battle as a Valkyrie with this new ancestry for Draw Steel. My entry for #jamsofthetimescape Volume 2. mrmattdollar.itch.io/the-valkyrie

Episode 5 of Not the Delian Tomb is live tonight. The Gilded Hand are dealt with, but the truth doesn’t sit right. What the Heroes do next won’t just shape Broadhurst - it could shake the Barony of Dalrath. 7:30pm EST www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HS8... #DrawSteel #TTRPG #ActualPlay #MCDM

Jeff Stevens Games is doing another crowdfunder for Draw Steel: www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

$420 remaining to fund the Kiln! When you take a perk as a kiln, you can optionally pick a kiln-specific perk! (After you complete a little side-quest..) Here are a couple kiln perks, including one appropriate to the occasion #DrawSteel #TTRPG www.backerkit.com/c/projects/l...

Update with the Lightbourne devil ancestry: it's mostly done. I tried to find some royalty free/non-AI art which suited the vibe but that was... difficult. So I removed the cover page, condensed the document to be one page, has all the info for the ancestry and will pretty it up with some graphics.

Planning on working on the submission for the Jams of the Timescape tonight! My idea is a variation of the Devil ancestry, but they're the refugees from the Nine Cities who become vessels of divine energy. #DrawSteel

We've already had the first submission to the Ancestries of the Timescape: timescapejams.com But there's a week and half left, still plenty of time to participate! We're a solid bunch in the Discord server and people are buzzing with ideas! timescapejams.com/discord #drawsteel #JamsOfTheTimescape

Hi, my name is Wouter and I am an artist, designer and cartographer specialized in fantasy storytelling and tabletop gaming. I help creators, authors, publishers and gamers tell stories that they live and are a part of! #portfolioday #fantasymaps #fantasyart #ttrpg #noai #commissionsopen

1. I am SO excited to polish up something for this. 2. If you need more resources for making a DS ancestry I have made ~a helpful spreadsheet~ which contains a breakdown of all the current ancestries and how long the various entries are for their lore/abilities. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Oh there's another Draw Steel game jam happening right now! Can't wait to see what everyone makes youtu.be/Qt8z__cEymk

Kind words by someone out there who's excited for The Kiln! www.wargamer.com/draw-steel-t... #DrawSteel we're only a little under $900 short on the backerkit of funding so we can get this thing fully arted and tested! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/l...

This is gonna be a good year for Draw Steel. Even if I don't manage to get my campaign off the ground, I'll definitely do one shots and I plan to run it at Conquest here in Melbourne.

I ran my adventure module I'm working on last Saturday, first Draw Steel session of 2026. However, I noticed I need to have MORE Malice abilities. Aside from looking at the Monsters book, any suggestions for balancing and creating your own Malice abilities? #DrawSteel

Critical Role expected Daggerheart to do well, but they didn't expect it to do 2500% more than their projections. Details: www.thepopverse.com/gaming-criti...

This is a part of why i like Draw Steel so much and I think Matt picked the right words - "we all felt like a team first". The amount of interaction between players during their turn is so awesome to see.

More amazing ideas for Draw Steel! Be sure to follow the crowdfunder page.

I'm having a great time getting the session zero material ready for the new Draw Steel campaign. It's important to set expectations and the vibes. However, there are times when the PowerPoint presentation gets dangerously similar in tone to a pre-emptive HR meeting.

You can now make proper Draw Steel orcs and memonek and time raiders in Titancraft, complete with appropriate face details! titancraft.com

Inspiring stuff. Now - if you'll excuse me...

My monster booklet is on sale until December 31st! Put your heroes on the menu this holiday season with the Carnophage monster band. All sales will go towards paying real artists for the next monster booklet! #drawsteel #ttrpg itch: itch.io/s/175821/car... patreon: tinyurl.com/34z67mwz

AI imitations of creative work (art, writing, etc.) aren't bad because it's "ugly". They already look "good enough" to satisfy most people. AI is bad because it's laundering plagiarism of real human artists AND making us ever-more dependent upon trillion-dollar tech companies.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Cthrion Uroniziir by Faizal

the thing that drives me insane about genAI/chatgpt bullshit is that brother, the process IS the work IS the entire thing. no artist comes to art for the final result. the final result is inextricable from the fucking labor that came into making it

periodically I'll see a backlash that goes a little too far or seems kinda unfair. i never say anything because i think we need to be kinda unhinged and zealous in our response to this shit. I'd take an honest-to-God crusade against this stuff over letting it proliferate.

Draw Steel is a gonzo game. Heroes are hardier, more mobile, and can yeet foes easier than in 5e. That informs what players look for in maps. Bare minimum, if you put an object on the map, it has to hurt when folks slam into it. But you should really go further. Lean into dynamic terrain objects.

The main reason why there is a conception that D&D is "simple" is it because it has a LOT of cultural capital and extra-textual supporting resources to onboard new players. Often, if you have a question about the game you can simply look it up online and someone will have an answer.

I got impatient and wrote up a goblin ancestry thing for my Draw Steel home game. Then while I was at it, I did an ancestry called Lightbourne Devil. A devil who is infused with divine essence, who have transformed over time. It's more of a "variant ancestry". #DrawSteel
