started playing Draw Steel so I doodled my character, Opaline! She was created by the goddess of time and space herself to assist the monarch of a nation in a terrible war against dragons. Opaline loves learning about "human culture" and is basically an alien. Her class is Chronopath/Time Mage! ⏳

Oh hey @dontshoutmimic.bsky.social ! Love this guy's #drawsteel character class breakdowns - I can't wait to try out more than the Elementalist

Reposting this in case some TTRPG publishing friends have stuff they want me to table for them!

Its Time To Draw Steel | Why You Should Run The MCDM RPG youtu.be/uoMY9a7NJZs Draw Steel has released, here’s why we think you should run it for your friends. #ttrpg #dnd #ttrpgrising #ttrpgcommunity #dnd5e #dungeonsanddragons #dontshoutmimic #runningthegame#drawsteel #mcdm #mcdmrpg #drawsteelrpg

Got my copy of Ratcatchers Issue 1, there’s always something special seeing your name in print! It’s excellent work by @tidalwavegames.com and full of great writers and artists, though I am particularly partial to @dojikaan.bsky.social’s incredible mimic! #drawsteel #ttrpg #ttrpgrising #mcdm #dnd

Okay, this is me prepping a level 4 Draw Steel game. I hope you don't hate it. Ideally, you'll see how easy it is.

Well these are just delightful @aawgames.bsky.social adventureaweek.com/aaw-games-la...

Nomas Lore: Among the midnight caves and darkling seas of the World Below, there is a cavern filled with light. There stands Nomas, the City Aflame, the City of Refuge. #ttrpg #dnd #ttrpgrising #ttrpgcommunity #dnd5e #dungeonsanddragons #runningthegame#drawsteel #mcdm #mcdmrpg #drawsteelrpg

This is what I mean when I worry about how history gets warped: this @npr.org piece by @scottgreenstone.bsky.social is gonna circulate, & it makes some not-quite-right assertions about the history of the form. That’s typical (like the emphasis on D&D), but the citations are what get me.

I’m truly so proud of this and the work the entire Draw Steel team did. It’s rare to be given both the opportunity and the freedom to take big swings like this, and @jamesintrocaso.bsky.social, @hellomcdm.bsky.social, and @mattcolville.bsky.social made it possible. So, so proud of what we made.

Their license is very permissive so you can find almost all rules on a fan made wiki: Steel Compendium: Draw Steel Rules share.google/TOLw1PMJiJtx... Idk If they are up to date though

so this is rad, if you open the draw steel pdfs in a browser, there's some serious alt text on every piece of art:

Join me for a Draw Steel rules discussion tonight at 7pm EDT as I update my Roll20 quick reference macros to the final rules. We will get some deep insight on how Draw Steel works. youtube.com/live/mTsWk6X...

Draw Steel's art description guide isn't just a new approach to alt-text. It synthesizes museum-tested accessibility with an eye towards poetry and metaphor. Lin spoke with @dreamwisp.bsky.social about MCDM's mission-in-progress and creating "more visceral and tactile" descriptions.

A New Era of RPG Revolution? Gen Con and recent news have us asking… is this a new era of RPG Evolution? We look at why competing with D&D is hard and why companies may not want to compete at all! Listen or watch: masteringdungeons.podbean.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7_u... #DnD #TTRPG

Trying to post this again because it didn’t show up on the Draw Steel feed i use, and I’m curious as to why. This is a 6 hour long deep dive into the game. www.youtube.com/live/DDje7B6...

After seeing the current creatives of D&D and Daggerheart chillin and laughing together all weekend, color me dismayed by this yellow journalism from zombie Polygon

What better way to celebrate Draw Steel's official release than to distribute our first 3rd party Draw Steel adventure? "The Great Thaw of Gryzmithrak Spire" was sent to our Crowdfundr backers yesterday and the public release is in about 1 week! The campaign: crowdfundr.com/Gryzmithrak-...

This is going to manifest as a translation of my original book into Draw Steel with the addition of the never released underwater ancestries. All in all I'm thinking it may be as many as 15 new Ancestries 🤠

Reading through the #DrawSteel core PDF and it's a pleasure. I don't know if I'll play/run it much because my sensibilities lie more on the narrative side, but I love how much reasoning and designer talk are on display. Every RPG should have a "what this game is _and what this game isn't_" section.

High/Shadow elf names are so fun to come up with, we’ve recently had “A Shiver In The Heart Of Summer” and “The Steel Where Two Hearts Meet”

If you want to celebrate the release of MCDM's Draw Steel with us, check out the first episode of our Delian Tomb miniseries! Live on YouTube NOW! youtu.be/jGy1AWEMEfs?...

So DRAW STEEL is out today, and I wanna thank a bunch of people who made it happen. I gotta start with the folks on my team every day who showed up with incredible passion and dedication @thewillyboo.bsky.social and @djordi.bsky.social. They are HEROES. drawsteel.com

We seem to be in a period where you really have a ton of solid and fresh alternatives to D&D doing the things people typically use D&D for. PF2e is going strong. SF2e just dropped. 13th Age 2e is looking damn good. Weird Wizard is wonderful. Draw Steel has my serious attention, and Daggerheart too.

The irony as a trans woman voice actor is, outside of a single director (who's also trans I think?) I can't get background work to save my fucking life. Casting directors only consider us for specifically trans roles, and nobody thinks Town Guard #2 is trans. I would LOVE bg work to pay the bills 😭

Carved from Brindlewood Fantasy Adventure Game: Thoughts... I made a joke on here a few weeks ago about a Carved from Brindlewood fantasy adventure game. It was good for a laugh at the time, but I've been having genuine, earnest thoughts about it ever since. (1/X)

Gencon's coming up fast! Join me, @thelibgamer.bsky.social and @ttrpgkids.com as we talk about the many layers of accessible content design! www.gencon.com/events/271905

The accessibility treatment for Draw Steel was such an accomplishment. Thank you @dreamwisp.bsky.social for the late nights and careful research, @flowerstorm.tech for the technical lift and expertise, and @hellomcdm.bsky.social for putting us together.

So, yeah, longer thread coming tomorrow after I have slept, because this whole team has been working SO hard to get this out, but Draw Steel introduces Art Description, a new form of image description combining alt text and new standards based on art museum best practices for image description. 1/

And @hellomcdm.bsky.social is making two new classes for Draw Steel! 😍 The art is AMAZING.

Yeah, the PDFs for Draw Steel are so... clean and beautiful! The art is BREATHTAKING! I am so happy right now, been waiting for this for months! Bright future is ahead of us and I hope Triglav Games will be able to supplement the game in fun ways! #DrawSteel ⚔️

This is an incredible accessibility move from the entire @hellomcdm.bsky.social team. Good games become great when more people can play. And Draw Steel has taken big moves to do just that. files.mcdmproductions.com/DrawSteel/Dr...

Cracking example of the diversity of community content for Draw Steel!

Happy #DrawSteel Day to anybody who is celebrating. www.twitch.tv/kingfishertt... are celebrating by running session one of Draw Steel's introductory adventure - The Delian Tomb - also available today from MCDM's webstore here: shop.mcdmproductions.com We go live at 8:30pm BST

👀

Draw Steel is out! While I'm still deciding on investing in the core rules, I went ahead and picked up a copy of The Delian Tomb, as a thanks to Matt Colville for releasing so much of his content for free through the years. I've run the original tomb for lots of new players through the years. #rpg
