I painted for me today for the first time in forever a small scene from today's Draw Steel campagin with Marcos!

some kind of necromancer has taken the city, we know he's hidden somewhere in the city, but it's filled with all of the souls of the citicens turned into shadows...

Being the director has been a blast, the mechanics for Draw Steel rely on ramping up the power of abilities rather than the tension of ramping down and running out. So every new encounter or round of combat lets both sides flex a little more. I LOVE how this mechanic works.

Inspired by the wonderful @danielfr.bsky.social, here is a new 9th Level Troubadour ability for Draw Steel.

‘This one’s for you.’

Lent another way for this, but still has that Lil Sebastian energy I feel.

#DrawSteel #StrangerThings #LilSebastian #PNR #Homebrew 💙⚔️🎸🤘💙
Image of the Character Eddi Munson from Stranger Things, playing an epic quotation solo. Text over the top is for a high level Troubadour Virtuoso Ability. Text reads: 9th-Level Virtuoso Ability (11 Drama) This one’s for you. ‘Your 5,000 Candles in the wind.’ Area, Magic – 5 Burst, every ally in the area – Main Action Effect: Each target can spend any number of Recoveries, remove any conditions, and can stand up if they are prone. If a player character or NPC as designated by the Director has died this encounter, each ally can’t obtain lower than a tier 3 outcome on a power roll they make before the start of your next turn.

Since the last stream from Matt I have been posessed by the Gol concept art for Draw Steel, and I made some fanart!
I tried a new workflow for this one so this is a bit messy.
Thanks for such a wonderful concept art @eriopsis.bsky.social!

First time playing, and pleased that it's just as excellent as I'd hoped. My group is very much the target audience - we're all veterans of a 9 year long 4e D&D campaign I ran - but even so we could tell this game is something special. MCDM have made something really fun to play and polished here.

Shrine of Green for Draw Steel.
AD: Grace Cheung

Green is always such a tricky color to work with, and I am happy that Grace trusted me to use it well and create the mood of this place. 💚

The Summoner for Draw Steel is out!! I don't know why they put some bone guy on the cover of the book about a class that summons fairies, but I'm sure the art team had their reasons

Screenshot of the Codex, the fantastic virtual table top for DRAW STEEL, MCDM's new RPG. The screenshot captures the moment of starting combat, aka DRAWING STEEL, in the Delian Tomb, as the heroes begin their delve. The room is lit from a brazier with pillars casting shadows. Heroes are arrayed against many goblins. Many goblins will die to bring you these plans.
