This is highly disrespectful. And many people seem to not understand why one's name might be important to them.

Me. My players are going into a fire giant forge. And I am having 2 guest characters playing Bredbeddle twins who are looking for their heads that were lost in a fire giant forge.

My table has been using Forge Steel for 4 months now with great success. I can concur that it is an excellent tool and important for the hobby.

The Dice Society @thedicesociety.bsky.social · Aug 18

If you haven't seen this yet, the creator of Forge Steel needs a new computer. FS is one of Draw Steel's best online tools and Andy doesn't charge a single penny for it, so please consider donating :) #DrawSteel

For any budding TTRPG writer (aka me) this video is immensely helpful and inspiring.

I have suffered with this for many years. I am open to my colleagues and managers and they have always been supportive.
I did always work a few extra hours to make up though.

I am not an India scholar either, but I was born there and spent the first 22 years of my life there. 😄

Yeah I need to define the scope and see if I can find enough collaborators to have a real big crowdfunder because this will need multiple designers.

I need serious collaborators if I want to make it a product.

I am slooooowly working on an India inspired setting for Draw Steel. A big challenge is I might need to come up with my own subclasses to actually make it work. A lot of the western European fantasy archetypes just don't fit in that setting.

Yeah but that's not the only way. I am going to run the game at a Zurich convention this year.
So there are many ways to get more players in. And I don't know of any other game that has such a loyal fanbase who LOVE the company that made the game.

Indeed it is. It is so much more fun to run a game when the rules are serving me instead of fighting me.

Edward Newton @ewords.bsky.social · Aug 10

I'm rapidly becoming a Draw Steel fan. I ran it for the first time a couple weeks ago, and the experience was like someone took the parking brake off D&D and stomped the pedal.

Damn this game sounds awesome.

How does that work for art commissions? What kind of instructions do you get from the art director?
