@hellomcdm.bsky.social @mattcolville.bsky.social Look at what I found someone working on in the terrain building reddit, Draw Steel monsters getting around:

Was there a time when it didn't have a name?!?

It's fun in D&D *and* Draw Steel! :D

I imagine there are some people who could work on DLC for D&D professionally for seven years without forming any opinions of it, but I have no idea why anyone following me would think I would be one of those people.

Told myself I'd branch out when we played Draw Steel, but I still ended up with a criminal lesbian freak.

I'm really surprised at how much action the Delian Tomb Liveplay is getting.

This is as close we're ever going to get to that experience of releasing a video game and within hours, a shitload of people are playing it.

RPGs are different, it's going to be weeks or months before some folks get to it. So seeing all this activity now is a good omen.

04.08.2025 19:27 β€” πŸ‘ 108    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 4    πŸ“Œ 0

The open development seems to have made a massive difference. Whenever someone has questions? There's a bunch of folks who answer.

And that feeling of not being alone, finding that there's this community of players, they're already playing and you're already plugged into it? Is huge.

04.08.2025 19:00 β€” πŸ‘ 107    πŸ” 2    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

It's going REALLY WELL. :D

The response has been amazing, tons of activity. Getting The Delian Tomb out at the same time? And dropping the first episode of the Liveplay all on the same day? That seems to be huge. Tons of people already running the adventure! And they seem to like it! :D

The highly ambitious TTRPG Draw Steel aims to build a better DnD 'We saw people who’d been running DnD saying β€˜I can’t go back.'

James and I talked with Polygon about Draw Steel!!

Your brain went there but that's not what the sentences. The sentence does not say that she enjoys cooking for her family. That's simply something you imagined.

I see no reason to assume that the word 'for' is missing.

Yeah that is my experience too. It's not obvious to a lot of folks but often clear writing requires more words. More, shorter sentences.

Also, all the people calling out Djordi for his brilliant improvisations gives me life.

And also, I think you can see this, I was trying really hard especially on that first day, to let everyone else shine. I did not want to be the main character. And I was afraid that was the direction I was going.

Seeing folks saying how much they like how I'm playing Jago in the live play brings me great joy.

I remember that first day being incredibly grueling for me because I gotten about 3 hours sleep in the previous 48 hours. So it's nice to see folks responding positively to my creative choices.

To me the only thing that matters is consistency. So you just pick whether you use it or you don't and then be consistent. Don't bother trying to argue that one is better than the other.

Every single meme I've ever seen in favor of the Oxford comma has been a demonstration of how useless it is.

With the release of MCDM's Draw Steel we made a variation of the greatest queen to rule the Jagged Edge. We dubbed her 'Stand and Fight' Queen Bargnot and 'OK, I'll fight if you make me' Win'ey. Available now at www.trenchworx.com
