Think about this kind of stuff when you start complaining about the cost of the Draw Steel books.

Could they have made cheaper books? Sure. But I think that blind people should be able to enjoy art and that game designers should be able to afford food.

A list of rolled results, all tier 3. The lowest roll being a 17.

Really proud of the work and innovations that @dreamwisp.bsky.social brought to Draw Steel. A true rockstar.

looking forward to reading this. This is the first time i've seen this art and it's the first time I've seen a truly terrifying beholder instead of something that looked like a cartoon.

Draw Steel sets new standards for alt text in their books A deep dive into what an Art Description is, how it works, and who it’s for, including an interview with alt text writer, Jen Kretchmer.

Draw Steel's art description guide isn't just a new approach to alt-text. It synthesizes museum-tested accessibility with an eye towards poetry and metaphor.

Lin spoke with @dreamwisp.bsky.social about MCDM's mission-in-progress and creating "more visceral and tactile" descriptions.

Last night my Tactitian in Draw Steel critted against a group of minions, killed all 4 of them, and then mortally wounded another goblin before kicking him into a bonfire to finish him off

Photo of a painting of a hoard of goblins, led by a massive hairy bugbear wielding a serrated blade, swarm towards the heroes. One hero is a human man with blonde hair and shining armour, blue magic blasts from one hand, while the other hand holds a glowing mace. The other hero s a female elf with a flowing cape and a sword made for swashbuckling. In the background is a villager tied up and watching on helplessly.

Even as an external freelancer I think I can say with certainity that the people who worked on it -from design, testers, writers, layouts, production to art- have given their ALL and a bit more for this thing to happen...

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

Sometimes I forget working on a project. One project I won't forget is Draw Steel, MCDM's new TTRPG. @jamesintrocaso.bsky.social and @scottfgray.bsky.social are two of my favorite collaborators and working with each is a joy. Check out Draw Steel and the Delian Tomb Intro adventure!

By their own admission, they're trying to deliver the kind of game D&D promises, but doesn't deliver on.

That gives an indicator how long it will be, and how long it could be, if the director decides to include all the content from the adventure.

And it makes it easier to plan what level the heroes are going to be at when looking for the adventure run after.

I think something that Draw Steel adventures should include in their pitch is how many victories it includes. Preferrably a range indicating how many you will earn by playing through the adventure, and the upper limit if you do all the extra content.

In other words, those games are so inexpensive because they are explicitly not being charged what they're actually worth.
