If you like Draw Steel (or archaic narrative fantasy poetry), give this a watch— I’m really proud of it and you might enjoy it!

I made this poem in celebration of the release of the Draw Steel RPG by @hellomcdm.bsky.social !

Thanks to the entire team at MCDM for all your hard work on a fantastic game!

I've read, and watched a play-thru! I'd love to try it someday, I've read a decent amount about it too. I'm a fan of the designer

Grant Brees @grantbrees.mossyantler.com · 7d

I'll take a look!!

Yes. Do it. What's one more massive project when you're already buried by thousands of them?
