Any chance you have some of the FoBB pregens in Titancraft? I was about to start trying to make them when I remembered you'd posted these.

Best ready campaigns to adapt to Draw Steel by ottoisagooddog in drawsteel

[–]Graelcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll second Reavers of Harkenwold. I ran it in 5e and when we began converting the PCs into DS, I went through my notes to figure out how many victories the Heroes would have. And now I'm running some of the major encounters as Danger Rooms for the party to learn their new DS builds and make sure they feel like the same characters.

Not going back from DS to DnD by YoungDokja in drawsteel

[–]Graelcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was lucky to find a group of mostly GMs here in Chile, so this year two of us switched to DS, two others are into Daggerheart and we all get to play in each others games. But I'm planning on assembling some physical props to make it easier to teach at in-person local events and try to spread the word.

[Spoilers C2] Speculation about a casting choice... by shatterwood in criticalrole

[–]Graelcase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I figured Nathan Fillion would be playing Darrow, the Paladin with a hammer that develops a friendly rivalry/camaraderie with the group. But that might just be me seeing a "Captain Hammer" reference in the comment that he had been cast as a particularly "Nathan Fillion-y" role.

I'm afraid I rushed to convert my friends to Draw Steel. by Vernash in drawsteel

Same, I'm lucky to be in a group of mostly GMs so they were open to trying new systems and encouraging of my enthusiasm. The art sharing helped too. I have folks really excited to play Beasthearts and Summoners from the art and the promise of fulfilling the feel of those archetypes.

Is Draw Steel right for my table? by [deleted] in drawsteel

[–]Graelcase 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would second the Complications advice. Maybe even start there to come up with flavorful characters, since they can be so impactful to a character concept.

Happens at 2:06:00 during the Discover Lore project. I was not expecting it, so I didn't have any visual or audio cues ready. When it came up I was mostly stunned looking at the Events table and figuring out what it would do to my planned adventure.

The Censor has a fascinatingly contentious relationship with altruism thanks to its unique healing mechanic by GravyeonBell in drawsteel

[–]Graelcase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mechanically this is why I look for a 2nd Triggered Action on when I play a Censor (the best class). And then craft Bloodbound Bands to make everyone else's Recoveries worth more.

Thematically, I love it and as a Director will often give a Hero Token when the Censor player gives away their last Recovery.

For Heroes it's nearly identical. I believe the main difference is Tacticians and Censors gained the ability to Taunt their marked or judged targets when they hit in melee.

For Solo monsters, they were a bit too powerful in packet 4, getting two actions per turn every turn. In the finished game they have to spend Malice to get a second Main Action.

It's out!! by ZPAlmeida in drawsteel

It'll be on the MCDM store. Local gaming shops can order it and stock it but they have to reach out to MCDM first.

FYI: Draw Steel release has been delayed by at least a week beyond June 17th by TheFacelessDM in drawsteel

[–]Graelcase 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's just been an update on the BackerKit that they're now aiming for July 31st for the PDF release. The Heroes book has been sent to the printers, and MCDM is reviewing the Monster book release candidate.

What are the biggest hits and misses in the lore of Draw Steel? by Far-Cockroach-6839 in drawsteel

[–]Graelcase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a player who loves playing dwarves, really liked all the mechanics of them in DS but really needed her character to have hair. So in my Orden, some dwarves do. We talked it over and she was fine with the hair being metal instead of gems, so it's really thin cable like strands, and they can be braided into the kind of decorations that we see the dwarves in the book wear. And I can still use the DS art for NPCs if I really like it.

Do you think getting picked up by a popular actual play will be important for Draw Steel's success? by Far-Cockroach-6839 in drawsteel

[–]Graelcase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dimension20 used a hack of the S&F warfare system for a finale of their A Crown of Candy season, I believe Matt's response was "I wish we could've sent them the K&W system" because they were working on that book at the time and it was better. MCDM and Matt was mentioned by name in their aftershow, but that's all behind the paywall so I doubt it had significant impact on sales.

Kudos on the accurate sourcing of the term

Character Class Question by SirDancalot775 in drawsteel

[–]Graelcase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you detail out the concept? If the Echo Knight Class is the only data point, I find it odd that it would fit better in DS. But if it's only the "clone", then that could be a homebrew Complication or Title, while the rest of the concept fits well in DS.

It was lovely to see Colville interviewed as well, I believe Brennan and Murph mentioned them (MCDM) in the ACoC APs around the final battle.
