A new game for a new age! Draw Steel is the breathtaking new, action-oriented, fantasy RPG from MCDM that’s both fun to play and fun to run! Designed for five players, meant to be played using maps with a grid, Draw Steel is the result of thousands of hours of testing and polish. In Draw Steel, your character grows more powerful over the course of the battle, not less! Characters build heroic resources over the course of the battle so battles get more interesting round by round! But Draw Steel is not only a game about epic battles against hideous monsters. The game also features robust, detailed rules for… Montages! Cinematic sequences where the heroes work together, using their skills in imaginative ways to defeat a series of non-combat challenges. Navigate a deadly swamp! Escape a collapsing ruin! The montage rules make it easy for directors to design new montages and challenge their players in creative new ways outside of combat. Negotiations! Convincing an NPC to help you (or stop helping your enemy) can radically change any adventure. The rules for character creation in Draw Steel produce three dimensional characters and with the negotiation rules, you can quickly make any NPC a fully realized character with their own motivations. All this and a ton of dope art! From your friends at MCDM. Draw Steel Heroes All the rules for making heroes and running combat in MCDM’s new fantasy RPG! Everything you need except the monsters! Including…. Dozens of character options. Even two heroes with the same class and subclass can be really different! Classic fantasy ancestries reimagined and brand NEW ancestries, each with several options to choose from. Even humans! Why should humans be boring!? Treasures that level up with your hero! Downtime projects! Even the time between adventures is fun! Rules for negotiating with NPCs! Rules for cinematic montage tests! Dozens of gods and saints! Learn more about the worlds of Orden and the Timescape! Over 400 pages of character options and rules for running the game both in and out of combat, all of it designed with clear intention and purpose. All this and a ton of dope art! From your friends at MCDM. Draw Steel Monsters Your players made amazing heroes, all you need is some awesome monsters to throw at them! Draw Steel Monsters features LOTS of fantasy monsters and villains including old favorites and new high weirdness. All of which are fun to run, and fun to fight. This book contains hundreds of statblocks across dozens of different monsters, giving you tons of fun options. Now you can run a goblin adventure, using ONLY goblins, and no two encounters need be the same! Each stat block is completely self-contained, no need to go reference some other book to figure out how a spell works. And like everything in Draw Steel, these monsters went through many rounds of rigorous testing. Yes, your players have fun earning Ferocity for their Fury or Essence for the Elemental, but we have not forgotten about YOU dear director, the most important player. You have your own epic resource: MALICE. Every monster has cool abilities you unlock with malice, and you earn more malice the longer the battle goes. Malice means you are still challenging your heroes even when there’s only one goblin left! That goblin is going to bust out some crazy shit! But your encounter, we see it lacks dynamism, energy, pizzaz. The terrain just…sits there. But why should it?! With the Draw Steel Monsters book, you can liven up even the dreariest encounter with Dynamic Terrain Objects like The Black Obelisk and the Throne of A’an! Even a beehive, or a bear trap can really change how your encounters play. Keep your players on their toes! The battles are dynamic, shouldn’t the terrain be dynamic too? All this and more, illustrated with some of the best art in the business! LUSH illustrations! Lush we say!
