The Kiln is coming to Backerkit! with art by the incredible @jaspinplanet.bsky.social www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti... #DrawSteel

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.

Carnophages are probably one of my favorite homebrew monsters I’ve tested with. Piles of gore across the battlefield that serve as force multipliers for the monsters, and controlling/killing those piles presents a fun and unique tactical challenge.

I highly recommend checking it out.

A huge thanks to everyone who backed Hooked on Crafting for Draw Steel! The campaign was a success, raising over 240% of the funding goal ⚔️❤️

To celebrate, I wrote a post talking about the experience and giving creators a few tips for their own crowdfunders.

Only one day left! Get 20% off and help me turn my Draw Steel supplement into a reality ⚔️ Back now!

Quick #DrawSteel house rule to try out for folks playing at higher echelons. Replace potency values as follows (for both heroes and monsters):

Weak potency = 0
Average potency = half highest characteristic
Strong potency = highest characteristic

Makes the game much more fun and dynamic IMO.

If your looking to support small creators, and maybe pick up something fun for your GM or table, take a look at our wares! We've got magic items for Draw Steel, rituals and contraptions for Blades in the Dark, and newspaper templates for (almost) any system and setting!

I went and wrote it. Here are some things you can do as a ttrpg project manager to make freelancing fun and easy:

The Scion, a Spellsword Class for Draw Steel is out now!

I can highly recommend this! The scion does a perfect job of creating a spellblade style class within Draw Steel design principles, and the class is both fun and well balanced.

Curious about DRAW STEEL? Great news! I'm running a learn-to-play one-shot next Wed night 12/17. Tactical! Cinematic! Heroic! Fantasy! Plus a friendly table and a killer action soundtrack. No rules knowledge necessary—just show up ready to kick ass and have fun!
