Looks like I'll be running some Draw Steel for a few people I found on the Mcdm discord. What are your favorite short delves or adventures to run? I want to do something shorter to make sure everyone jives well before starting something more involved.

Book 29 of 2026: Lafayette in the Somewhat United States by Sarah Vowell A non-fiction book about Lafayette and the American Revolution. 5/10. I don't often listen to audiobooks, but my wife and I have been driving to Dallas a lot recently (World Cup!!), so we picked this as a book to listen 1/6

Book 28 of 2026: The Traitor by Anthony Ryan The final book in the Covenant of Steel series. 8.5/10. I thought this book was a good way to wrap an enjoyable series. The ending does feel a bit rushed, as there's ton of build up, leading to a climatic battle that feels a bit rushed in execution 1/5

Book 27 of 2026: Speaking Bones by Ken Liu. The 4th and final book in the Dandelion Dynasty series. 8/10. A good conclusion to a good series. This book is full of twists and turns, and every moment I thought I knew how the series would end, I was wrong. This provides a good, satisfying 1/4

Book 26 of 2026: The Martyr by Anthony Ryan. The 2nd book in the Covenant of Steel series. 8.5/10. This book picks up right where The Pariah left off, but this time we have a bit more of clarity of purpose for Alwyn. I like how the storyline in Alundia is handled, especially when they end up 1/2

I've been trying to think of my next Draw Steel project to work on, and I think I might have an idea. I love dinosaurs, always have. I know dinosaurs are a bit of a weird place for fantasy RPGs, but I just think they're neat. Do y'all include dinosaurs in your fantasy world? I may look into making

Book 25 of 2026: The Pariah by Anthony Ryan. The 1st book in the The Covenant of Steel trilogy. 8/10. This book is pretty good, and I like the gritty, more grounded fantasy style of Ryan. Alwyn is a good main character, and I really enjoy his twisting life story. I have no clue what will end 1/3

Well my Draw Steel game is officially dead π We've been having really rough scheduling issues, and lots of life change. So seems like it's not going to work out anymore. Definitely still want to play Draw Steel, whether as a Director or a Player. I prefer in person, but that is much harder. RIP

I love that MCDM are wanting to make Summoner open to everyone. I think the idea of waiting until it has made money is smart and a great way to handle it. Even though the Summoner doesn't really appeal to me, I picked it up to support their work.
