Good question. Honestly, things I feel I’d need but not have prepped. So like the standard/normal animals like horses cows and such. Things my player may surprise with through their creative thinking, and I’d need a stat block for quick.

Unpopular take, but I’m not massively sold on the War Dogs. Though they are of course favourites for most of the Draw Steel audience, and ones people would love to see.

My issue with them is that I can’t figure out yet where/if they go in my setting.

Now this is a great idea! Super useful little paragraph or section to add real flavour to a setting, and give your players ideas of how they can interact with it. I am most certainly going to steal it.

Thank you.

Seems super useful. Thanks my dude.

I would love to see this please. Tied in with some talk from yourself on. But if process as appropriate, it would be lovely.

Thank you. It was a great adventure. My take on the starting combat is just my own preference over the quality of the product.

I’ve been meaning to check out there stuff for a bit now. All the more reason too.

Anyone else tried The Great Thaw? I only got through the first part, and would love to hear what others thought.

6/6

It’s a minor niggle to a great entry level adventure. You can easily throw in a small skirmish at the start, that would tie into the story.

Overall, a great adventure, one I was glad to purchase, and a piece that can set the standard for 3rd Party Draw Steel content going forward.

5/6

I felt the start was a bit slow. Obviously The Great Thaw isn’t designed to teach the rules, but if I run it again, I think I will throw in a combat in straight off the bat.

All the tests and negotiation was good, but we only got into a battle after 2hrs of play.

4/5

The fight in the temple was great! Shoving enemies across the slippery ice floors to cause extra damage really felt as Draw Steel should.

The tests from the get go, and how they were used to mix with Negotiation was really good to see, and helped get my players invested in these new systems.

3/6

The art, the story, and the layout for the adventure was super easy to follow. I had less then an hour to prep for a 3hr session, and was able to get ready in good time.

The product features some wonderful maps, and leans well into some of the best aspects of Draw Steel mechanics wise.
