This game looks absolutely fascinating! The longer I role-play, the more I am drawn to character-driven narrative games like this.
Anyone else play this? (Besides @shawnmerwin.bsky.social ?)

Can We Fix 1-Player Dragon Delves?
While a full fix would take more work, we quickly test a fix and find it is a ton more fun as we conclude our 1 DM and 1 Player adventure!

I was thrilled to talk with Teos and Shawn at @masteringdnd.bsky.social this week. We talked about Designers & Dragons: Origins, of course, but dug into some nice history too: Greyhawk's dungeons, Jack Fred, Palace of the Silver Princess! (The show is nicely indexed, so you can hear what you want!)

The moment not 1 but 3 of my players wanted to use one of the downtime projects as a jumping off point for learning about their mysterious backstories, I was hooked as a Director.

Hell yeah. I'm keen to hear this one. Downtime in Draw Steel is done so well.

It is really hard to not look at this as fans of the vast body of FR knowledge out there. We think they did a nice job of moving FR forward a few years so that DMs can create nice experiences. We wanted to see Neverwinter, in part because of the movie.

I really think that the respite system is one of the most underappreciated aspects of the game.
But in the long run it's going to be huge.

Teos holds up the Draw Steel book and Shawn reacts with interest, while an image of a young wizard practicing alchemy is superimposed between them.
Draw Steel – Resting and Downtime!
Draw Steel has a unique and deliberate approach to resting. Respites become a key element, bridging combat recovery with larger campaign and personal goals.
