I do agree that the formatting and layout of Heroes is the biggest issue I’ve had so far. It feels like they never had anyone who wasn’t an expert in Draw Steel look at it and give them feedback.

Having played the first three levels of Draw Steel with The Delian Tomb I do think the quality they get from hiring the best people they can shows in the final product. I’m excited to run both The Condemned and Crack the Sun when those release. One of my players has also looked over the...

As per the Patreon MCDM was able to hire Paul Hughes, an MCDM freelancer, with Crack the Sun funds to hire him as a new Draw Steel designer: https://www.patreon.com/posts/charting-mcdms-151818004?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_fan&utm_content=web_share

Maybe MCDM on the low end of that scale when you include the kickstarters, patreon, sales of current Draw Steel products and sales of legacy DnD products.

Yeah as much as I enjoy Draw Steel they made some questionable design choices with their Heroes book. It feels like they never had someone unfamiliar with Draw Steel look at the book and only people very familiar with it.

The $10 Delian Tomb adventure is a level 1-3 starter adventure for Draw Steel that includes all the rules you need to run the first 3 levels of the game. It’s a great way to dip your toes in the Draw Steel water for very little. I ran The Delian Tomb late last year/early this year and can’t...

Have you tried Draw Steel yet? I haven’t personally played 4e but from what I understand it’s a bit of a spiritual successor and I can personally say from the running The Delian Tomb it’s a really well designed RPG.

Letting third parties sell content on DnD Beyond was always a much better way to make money on third party content then trying to end the OGL. Our group was already planning on trying other games around the time of the OGL and WotC’s actions just accelerated things and we haven’t looked back...

That is a very cool idea for a Mistborn dice set.

As above gotten older and my job has gotten more stressful I’ve found myself enjoying complex RPGs less and less. Our groups primarily system since the OGL situation has been Pathfinder 2 and I’m glad we use Foundry for that because I would never play that in person. In general I’ve found...

Finished up running my game of Draw Steel’s Delian Tomb. Everyone in the group really enjoyed Draw Steel and are planning on playing Crack the Sun with me later this year. One of my players has already called running the new Summoner class. Codex is still alpha software but it’s going to be a...

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.
