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.
My monster booklet is on sale until December 31st! Put your heroes on the menu this holiday season with the Carnophage monster band.

All sales will go towards paying real artists for the next monster booklet! #drawsteel #ttrpg

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.

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.

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.
I just picked up the brand new Scion class from Surfingbird for @hellomcdm.bsky.social's Draw Steel on itch.io.

I've been following the development for a while, and I'm happy to say Draw Steel now has an amazingly well crafted and thoroughly tested spellsword class!
