Out now: THE SNOW QUEEN'S FURY, a midwinter one-shot for Draw Steel! Battle dangerous ice monsters, explore a strange fey realm, and negotiate with a powerful archfey to save a village from endless winter. An icy mystery! Tips for running at 1st, 2nd, or 3rd echelon! Queer grandmas! ⚔️❄️

FRPG Player Tip: Take every available opportunity to describe not just what your character is doing, but how they’re doing it. Fill in the details of the attack that dropped a boss. Talk about what making a stealthy advance down a dark corridor looks like. Description isn’t just the GM’s job.

Things are Terrible, but this isn't. Be weird.

"The Flayed Man" One last personal piece before the year ends. Pretty happy with how this came out. Its close to what I envisioned in my head which is rare. Thought the clouds would be the hardest part but actually the snakes on the frame were what really kicked my butt.

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

billionaire: i have 3 brains. in my skull interviewer: incredible

I remember buying Noitu Love 2 after watching a review, and absolutely loving that game. Played it so many times, instead of doing so work, trying to get the optimal flow through the levels. Anyway. Iconoclasts is fantastic. Feel like I’m due another play through

We've already passed our funding goal. Now the real fun starts: every bit over that funding goal goes toward the contributing writers and artists. The more we make, the more they get paid.

Draw Steel not only enables or encourages team work, it demands it. So many abilities in the game "don’t work" if you don’t have an ally to do them with

In tactical RPGs we often see the "how do I optimize MY hero" discussion, which certainly happens with Draw Steel, but I have also seen a lot of people say stuff like, "If you really wanna optimize in DS, you should focus on the party not the individual." That was by design, and I'm glad it works.

Apparently, the most popular thing I've ever made, is my 5e combat action cheat sheet I made 7 years back. It's been "bought" almost 19k times. It is pay-what-you-want, but I've still made over $150. Never looked up "sales" before now. Wild....

Our new Backerkit campaign for Issue 02 of Ratcatcher Magazine for @hellomcdm.bsky.social's #DrawSteel is LIVE NOW: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...

Happening tonight!

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.

Played Shadowdark with my regular group today. Unprompted, one of the players adviced one of the others "think about it a bit like a board game" 😂

Quickstarts, starter sets, and the like fill the need to teach people how to play. MCDM, for example, often tells people that the *best* way to learn how to play Draw Steel is through their starter adventure The Delian Tomb (NOT through the core books).

Games with higher complexity, like the ones I often freelance for (Draw Steel, 5e, Plotweaver, etc), should prioritize rules reference. You only need to learn *how to play* once, but you'll spend a lifetime looking up rules. These larger games also have the luxury of an entire product ecosystem.

Hooked on Crafting is legit a genius idea for a supplement. If you plan on running Draw Steel any time soon, it'd be a good idea for you to back this!

Rounded up my 5e campaign last night. Wanna move to Draw Steel, but group want to try some different games we don't usually play before diving back into a heavier game

✨Draw Steel: Crack the Sun✨ just launched on BackerKit and already smashed its funding goal! Huge congrats to @hellomcdm.bsky.social! Jump in now for this high-octane 3rd-level anti-hero adventure and unlock bonus rewards: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... #ttrpg #crowdfunding

The team put an exceptional amount of work into this campaign over the last several months. It’s so wonderful to see the community supporting it. Thanks to you all we get to spend the next year Cracking the Sun.

Jesus Christ, this age verification thing is going to be the most useless and annoying thing we’ve ever done to undermine privacy and democracy in the history of the world. I vote that all in favor are banned from the internet.

Oh no I played with a meme generator

A bit of a spike in posts captured by the Draw Steel feed yesterday

We said no adventures in the book, but said nothing about while the campaign is live! We wanted to give folks a chance to see the kind of story that can be told in the Psionic City, using only the preview packet* Check it out for free: (1/5) #drawsteel #ttrpg #ttrpgrising

Crack the Sun is unsurprisingly on the front page of BackerKit

It's been just over 18 hours since launch, and people have been pledging to Crack the Sun continuously in all that time. The backer train stops if there's a 10 minute gap between pledges. That's not happened yet.
