I made a CURSED ARTIFACT ancestry for the rpg #DrawSteel, so you can play as a sentient magic item! Soul eating sword, magic ring, cursed armor, you name it.

As someone who likes #5E and has played a bit of #DrawSteel, here's what I think about the Negotiation system specifically and the full game generally. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWOw...
Why aren't DRAW STEEL Negotiations in 5E?

Slight change of pace today, obviously. This one was a commission for u/Fuzzleton on Reddit. The Radenwright's name is Jolliboy and he's an athlete troubadour, which is such a good character concept. Apparently Jolliboy debuted last night and has already challenged the Grim Reaper to a sports match.

I ran my first session of Draw Steel today and I absolutely adore it. This game was made for me. It takes everything I love about D&D 4th edition and completely jettisons the stuff I don’t like. Fun as hell. Highly recommend it.

Shoutout to the reddit user who, in a thread about how "narrative" Draw Steel is or isn't said, [paraphrasing]:
"I think it has a lot of robust narrative tools. As long as that narrative is one in which the heroes fight a lot of monsters."

I painted for me today for the first time in forever a small scene from today's Draw Steel campagin with Marcos!
some kind of necromancer has taken the city, we know he's hidden somewhere in the city, but it's filled with all of the souls of the citicens turned into shadows...

Being the director has been a blast, the mechanics for Draw Steel rely on ramping up the power of abilities rather than the tension of ramping down and running out. So every new encounter or round of combat lets both sides flex a little more. I LOVE how this mechanic works.

Inspired by the wonderful @danielfr.bsky.social, here is a new 9th Level Troubadour ability for Draw Steel.
‘This one’s for you.’
Lent another way for this, but still has that Lil Sebastian energy I feel.

Since the last stream from Matt I have been posessed by the Gol concept art for Draw Steel, and I made some fanart!
I tried a new workflow for this one so this is a bit messy.
Thanks for such a wonderful concept art @eriopsis.bsky.social!

First time playing, and pleased that it's just as excellent as I'd hoped. My group is very much the target audience - we're all veterans of a 9 year long 4e D&D campaign I ran - but even so we could tell this game is something special. MCDM have made something really fun to play and polished here.
