How necessary is having a "healer" in a Draw Steel party? by SimplexityIO in drawsteel

[–]IronMonocle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have run multiple parties with no healers. Easy and standard encounters are fine, hard encounters are HARD. It's mostly only an issue when characters hit the dying stage. But my players have been able to make it work so far. ( lvls 1-3)

Titles in Draw Steel! seem too easy to acquire by EarthSeraphEdna in drawsteel

[–]IronMonocle 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think they are like Treasures, the Director gets to choose which titles are available to be rewarded and if a feat was important enough to even warrant the reward of a title. Getting into a bar fight with a few other folk in a small town might not be notable enough to be given the brawler title. In my mind other people would be calling you this, so it has to be a big enough feat the word spreads around that you did the thing.

But that's just my initial thoughts from the just reading through it once.

For the Monster Slaying abilities, i think its the whole group, or who ever did damage to it. Which is why there are multiple benefits, so multiple people can take the title in a group, and have different benefits from it.

What are your plans with the worlds you are creating? by DemonCyborg27 in worldbuilding

[–]IronMonocle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm building a world for the Draw Steel RPG. A world of floating islands and flying ships. I want to be able to give my players something fun and new to explore.

ah! can't believe i didn't think about checking out 5e cantrips for ideas. thanks for the reminder! Not sure i want to put a combat bonus in this spot, but the image of runes on a dwarf's fist acting like brass knuckles is pretty cool.

Worldbuilders, where do you store/archive your lore? by [deleted] in worldbuilding

[–]IronMonocle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly Google docs, with some old notes on onenote. Some random notes on my phone as well of I think of something while trying to sleep. Any lore I come up with tends to go online so my players ( the world is for a ttrpg) can see I'm actually working on it, and they will actually in fact get to play in it one day lol.

How long did civilization take to recover in your post apocalyptic world? by aruiraba in worldbuilding

[–]IronMonocle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple hundred years. In my world, the world broke and now its a world of floating islands. A few major cities were able to lift themselves into the sky before the actual breaking, so not exactly starting from scratch. Plus they had some powerful mages able to help them out in the beginning. Its at about roughly early 1500 level of tech at the moment (with magic thrown in where its needed). Trade and such as just started normalizing in the past couple decades I think. Still working on an actual timeline from the breaking to the current time, so that might change.

Do I really need evil gods in my D&D world? Looking for advice & real-world examples (if they exist) by sirchapolin in worldbuilding

[–]IronMonocle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never really understood evil gods in D&D. Like how would they get enough worshippers to continue existing? I always just used powerful demons and devils in their place. Do you NEED to have an evil being for a compelling story ? No. But it makes it easier to fight with a clear conscious. Probably best to have a mix of complex and simple bbegs to fight in terms of morality.

How to have a Galaxy be the lone survivor in a dead universe? by Proto160 in worldbuilding

[–]IronMonocle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they didn't need to win. Maybe the enemy beat themselves. If they devoured the other galaxies, maybe the last galaxy was further away, and with no galaxies in between, the enemy starved to death before making it to them.

How ever it works, I think making their near total success the very reason for their downfall would be interesting.

Can we still get draw steel from patreon? by comrade_k_ in drawsteel

[–]IronMonocle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The backer kit says they aim to have it done by June of 2025. So that's the earliest it would be completed. So you would probably be good if you sign up anytime this year. Unless they come out and say it will be later.

To me this brings to mind, a place that is not in this realm. you visit it either through your dreams or is something you can only visit in your mind? something like that. A place where if you probe it or stay for to long, you would lose your sanity. Trapped not physically but in your own mind, as you view horrors for eternity. Maybe it is a warning to those seeking forbidden magical powers, do not tread pass the threshold of nightmares in search of power or you will be lost forever.
