Yeah if you’re not big on grid based combat with fairly intricate rules then Draw Steel isn’t the game for you.

If it’s mostly spells that haven’t been remastered but still need I think that’s fine. I thought it was almost entirely new spells on first read. Maybe other groups are different, but in the past several years of playing 2e my group only used a tiny handful of spells. It just feels like so many...

Uggh 240 new spells? I feel like Pathfinder 2e already has way too many boring or uninteresting spells as is and need more quality over quantity when it comes to spells.

I guess you’ll have to wait for the Crows or the Draw Steel 2027 product slate crowdfunders for that.

I backed this at the $200 everything physical and digital tier. I’m currently running the Delian Tomb for a group and both myself and my players are really liking Draw Steel. I’m happy to see so much support for Crack the Sun and hope to see more official Draw Steel content for years to come.

It makes sense not to just be the Draw Steel company now that they moved away from making 5e products. Usually it’s not a great idea to put all of your eggs in one basket. We know that MCDM is giving Draw Steel serious support in 2026 and I imagine we’ll be seeing a similar crowdfunder for the...

Just bumping this as a reminder for anyone who wants to back in. There's only 12 hours left. Currently it's sitting at $2.4 million. That puts is at over half of the $4.6 million dollars the original crowdfunder made. Super impressive results!

Dang it would be fun to have Matt run Draw Steel for you. That was a fun little video that did a good job of explaining the Draw Steel gameplay loop to people. Honestly I hope to see more stuff like that video. I’m really enjoying Draw Steel but it feels like MCDM isn’t really promoting it...

I dropped $200 on the everything physical and digital bundle for Crack the Sun when that Draw Steel crowdfunding campaign started. Before that I bought The Summoner and Fall of Blackbottom digital release for Draw Steel on black Friday. My last physical purchase was the Daggerheart book back...

Glad to see Daggerheart was such a huge success. I haven’t personally played it yet but it looks like it was be an awesome game for in person play. Yeah reading over the core book you’re 100% right about that, and while some people are great at that, I think a lot of GMs aren’t great at that...

Just speculation based on the fact the OGL stuff was hitting mainstream news outlets, like the following: https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/2023/01/19/dungeons-and-dragons-open-game-license-wizards-of-the-coast-explained/...

Yeah I don’t think the OGL crisis had any major effect on HAT box office. I suspect the biggest impact it has was a high level exec at Paramount may have made an angry phone call or sent an angry email to Hasbro telling them to fix whatever that thing that all the D&D fans were angry about...

While the main way to get XP is victories in combat (which convert into xp when taking a respite), you also grant victories for successful negotiations and skill montage tests. As a director of my characters did something clever to get around a combat encounter I would give them a victory for...

I’ve been running the Delian Tomb for my group. We’ve gone through a number of sessions- they’ve gotten to level 2 and have completed most of the sandbox quests. Both myself and my players are really enjoying system. We’re all super impressed with how polished the game feels and the game itself...

I imagine it will do worse, as Matt has mentioned it’s very likely many backers backed because of the OGL crisis or haven’t actually played it. It’s also more specialized than the two core books. Still I think we’ll see it be very successful. I wouldn’t at all be surprised to see it hit 2 or...
