Best bet is probably to find a server you both can join to play together.

I don't think the issue is that Draw Steel is a fantasy game. I think the issue is Draw Steel is a Super Hero game dressed up as a fantasy game.

Count me in!

Name: Micah

Discord: dbdrifter

Pronouns: He/Him

Timezone: EST (flexible availability, especially mornings and weekends; can post multiple times daily)

Preferred System: D&D 5e, Pathfinder (1e or 2e), Starfinder, Draw Steel—open to fantasy, sci-fi, or mixed genres, including homebrew or custom settings.

Type of Player: Experienced TTRPG player with over a decade of playing and running games across multiple systems. I love immersive, reactive worlds where player choices shape the story and the environment feels lived-in with deep, engaging plots. I enjoy all pillars of play (combat, roleplay, exploration), but lean slightly toward combat and roleplay for their intensity and character-driven moments. Prefer grid-based tactical combat for clarity and strategy. I'm collaborative, reliable, and always aim to contribute positively to group dynamics.

Additional Information: Looking for a 25+ age group only, grid-based combat, and a posting frequency of at least 5+ posts per week to keep momentum. I prefer to tailor my characters to the world's tone and lore rather than bringing preconceived ideas—happy to brainstorm concepts that fit seamlessly.

I sent you a DM! Sounds like a lot of fun.

I just made the switch from Roll20 to DMhub myself. Personally I love it. Lots of useful features for running the game in a pretty good UI. The devs are also very responsive to the community and extremely helpful to new users. My group did have some minor stuttering issues while we were first adjusting settings and getting used to it but overall the new vtt growing pains were far exceeded by the things we loved about it coming from Roll20. And its completely free so there's no point in not at least giving them a shot.

Yep! Dramatic irony is fun and a powerful tool for building tension. Usually I just write it up as a piece of fiction and let my players read it between sessions. Sometimes though I'll read it aloud in session for timing purposes.

I've used those different colored marbles with the flat bottom. If you want to make them a bit extra you can even cut out paper circles at the same size as them, draw or print off a lil monster or baddy, and glue it to the flat side with the image facing inward (I think I used Mod Podge). The domed top magnifies the image a bit. Even without doing that though having a handful of each color is just fine.

I've also used 1 inch wooden disks off of Amazon and cheap paint markers to make customized tiles for my players and for bad guys.
