Having run dozens of introductory demos of @hellomcdm.bsky.social's Draw Steel, I've thrown together a mini guide for how you can do it for your own friends. Even comes with six premade characters and an encounter for you.

I thought it was generally frowned upon to record peoples racks in public...

Maybe someday I'll do a panel at a con about Community.

I can't think of what I'd say to fill time after saying "Set standards. If people don't meet them get rid of them. Especially if they're not *technically* breaking any rules, but constantly cause you to review their behavior."

I've been trying to write a blog post about the Timescape wiki for 9 months now...

John Champion @lorddurok.com · 4d

Ok well, let's fix that.

Having people to send physical letters to occasionally is honestly amazing. 10/10 do recommend

Two things you need to know about Daggerheart.

1) Daggers

...don't say that please

John Champion @lorddurok.com · 7d

Kinda. You should always be at 0 hearts before leveling up or using a heal scroll, yes.

However, using the healing scrolls in late game is maximizing their effectiveness, as they will essentially be giving you more hearts. So doing things to gain more XP without taking damage is important early on.

Took me a couple games to figure out all the changes since v1.0, but I managed to get a full board clear!

Will have to snag the other achievements in the future.

Hello draw steel followers. I am currently sitting on a draft warfare system for DS and have started to think about making it a paid release (with MCDMs blessing). Once Dark Heart of the Wood wraps, would you like that? Is there interest in that being a thing next year? (I’ll probably do it anyway)

Growing up watching Avatar the Last Airbender may have cultivated my sense of empathy...

But BBC's Robin Hood series informed my sense of justice.

Yeah I'm sure they have some reasoning. But it certainly feels like it would have enhanced their stream.

I love seeing the moment when new Draw Steel players start to *get* it. Never gets old.

I couldn't make a decision on what to post. Classic bi indecision.

"she lost the connection to all the previous Avatars!"

Those guys were pretty useless 95% of the time. Literally the entire series is built around the fact future avatars have to fix all the problems the old ones made.
