I have gmed this game like ten times now and It's easier than 5e and many narrative games I already played.
Monsters do a lot of stuff but they are very very simple, no ac, or spell slots to track or remember.
You need only to track Malice, and If you forget, just eyeball it.

Steel Compendium: Draw Steel Rules
Their license is very permissive so you can find almost all rules on a fan made wiki:

We will have to see.
I really like their core rules, and I am awaiting weird indie games that use their system.
(Which looking into their homebrew scene is very likely to happen moderately soon).

And honestly I would never design a game for a world.
I would design for genre, and those are two separate things.

Why?
Idk what is your original RPG scene, but I strongly prefer games like Troika, Into the Odd and such, which just imply setting. Also probably why I bounced of Numenera in the end.
And like I am not going to play in Orden, because I have my own world (part 1)
03.08.2025 09:50 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0
I am pretty sure it was intended.
I like it. It think for me it's a good counterbalance to running OSR games.

Sorry for chaotic replies.. yeah, I think Orden is pretty self consistent but u are right that timescape conects to it very weirdly and, I agree that they need to explain a bit more about this part.

I usually dislike sandersonian hard-magic worldbuilding (especially if done by someone else than sanderson). And I am glad that magic works mostly on themes and vibes and has little connection to mechanics.
That's how I like it.

Oh okay... I think I heard orden being called a theme park world. Where each region is an attraction based on the most well known historical cultures.
I think it's done respectfully but I do agree that it's not the most interesting thing ever.
I do love their deep lore tho...

I love DS and I am probably very biast but I think it is on par if not better compared to other companies.
My fav writer in rpgs is Zedeck Siew, but I think Collvile is the second.

A spikey green dragonborn man holds his head up high in a forest scene.
A beautiful elf with red hair, yellow/orange eyes, and golden birthmarks (like veins) that travel from his bottom lip across his right arm and down his left leg. He has a sassy expression and extends an arm out as if to greet the viewer. He has a magical zweihander in the other hand. His clothes are minimal, wearing dark pants with a wide leg, green and magenta sashes across his waist, a gold chain harness, and a sheer red shawl- along with various other leather and gold jewelry pieces. He is quite tall, wearing wooden platforms to increase his height further.
A tall, heavy man with skin made of dark gray stone stands in a light colored field. he has black/blue locs style hair tied up in a half-up, half-down style. He has blue eyes. He wears craftsman's clothes, and most significantly wears a braided tie with a dragon's tooth hanging from the side. We weilds a giant hammer, which he holds over his shoulder.

If I were too make new art-pack for Draw Steel monsters, instead of player ancestries, what kind of monsters would You like to see?
I would prefer to do a mix of monsters, so we are not talking a specific band, but more random assembly of creatures.

It's the largest non-MCDM product I've been a part of, and I'm incredibly proud of it. Lots of cool ideas. Also, look at this art. Gorgeous!

A woman in a humble fantasy dress and read head scarf cooking in a forest.
First artfight of the year, attacking @zuzartii.bsky.social .
I wanted to do a highly polished render on this one, but I made so mistakes which made it difficulty to do while maintaining the proper art-fight pace.
I hope you like it anyway!
