Played Draw Steel for the first time last night and had a great time! Combat feels fun, tiered success is excellent and while all the abilities etc might seem daunting at first, it felt surprisingly easy to pick up once you start playing. Fun all around, will play again 👍

Lately I've had days of bad moods seemingly out of nowhere and creative blocks and then a realisation dawns like oh ..oh it's...it's living with all the horrors isn't it? Ima go draw my little scrolls and letters while a dozen billionaires try and burn the world to the ground 🫠
