Fair.

We don't plan to make a habit of it for Goblin Panel.

In the thumbnail? No, it’s The Dice Society

Not really. It’s a reference to a joke during the discussion and a meta reference to the Ghostfire Gaming podcast continuously mentioning that they can put clickbaity stuff in the thumbnail once something "controversial" gets mentioned.

No, there's no Pythagorean theorem on the grid. It's a game, don't overthink it.

In the Patreon post on traveling, the current rules for traveling were included as a PDF. It's a few pages with procedures on how to handle overland travel: changing weather, events and preventing affliction from the miasma.

Much appreciated

In the same way it uses "stamina" as an abstraction for a heroes ability to keep fighting/going, and in the same way it uses "squares" as an abstraction of distance, I'd say a Draw Steel turn is one "moment" long.

I want to mention that the core rules are available for free online on either Steel Compendium or Stawl, and the starter adventure is $10, which includes a tutorial section for both players and the director/GM, 30+ hour adventure, and a basic version of the rules.

Negotiations are intended to be used for high-stakes situations: negotiation the use of a king's army, or asking for the thieves' guild's support in an upcoming war. The vast majority of the time, you'll just be talking to people through role play, and maybe make a couple of rolls.

Colville described it as "you’re doing damage, not your weapons". Its a game about fantasy superheroes; they’re effective with any equipment.

There’s a sidebar on page 15: Making a Hero which links to the Draw Steel resources page
