Whenever I express a passably interesting thought or write a sentence with an interesting structure, Google docs puts a blue line under it & starts complaining. I'm starting to consider those error lines proof that I'm saying something worthwhile. If the document looks clean I've probably fucked up.

A thing I love about Dolmenwood are the character appearance random tables: each PC has a distinct visual identity right from the start, which is a remarkable outcome for such a simple feature

Not many people here know that, other than Draw Steel, I have a huge crush on OSR gaming as well โš”๏ธ Letโ€™s see if you can guess the setting of this WIP Iโ€™m cooking up!

Todayโ€™s a big for MCDM! Thanks to everyone who made the Crack the Sun crowdfunding campaign a success! Itโ€™s gonna be magic! As of today, Iโ€™m no longer the Lead Designer of Draw Steel products, and Iโ€™m stepping into the role of Game Director of our next RPG, Crows. I canโ€™t wait to play it with you.

I wish this holiday season will bring y'all plenty of rest and a chance to heal & recover. I know now how sorely I needed it! New energies, new ideas โ€“ I have crazy projects for 2026, I hope to be up to the challenge!

Something very cool to see. And! Coming to the Codex?! Is this Christma- well ehm we are very close to it indeed!

Thanks so much @mattcolville.bsky.social! I'm so proud of this quest. @rocketbird.bsky.social and my graphic designer (nicolepahl.com) just absolutely killed it. It'll also be available in the Draw Steel Codex soon! heart-of-arcana.itch.io/to-defy-the-...

the fact that 70s prog rock is so good is a sign that no music critic opinion should be valued. they were really out there trying to gaslight people into liking the Steve miller band and acting like Selling England by the pound isn't one the greatest things made by humans. smh my head.

Striking the right balance between medieval and futuristic was challenging for the Heroes, but that's the whole juice of science fantasy after all. For the ship, a huge inspiration were the fish-like designs of John Berkey. Perfect for Memonek vessels, if you ask me

Sailors of the Timescape say it's her voice they hear, when their ship is close to its doom... Also, flames are fun to draw! #drawsteel #mcdm #digitalart

Repeater, the Voice of Ruin, Mighty Herald of XXAXX! Art by real-life 10th-level Resopath Talent, @rocketbird.bsky.social.

Draw Steel. 7th level. In space. Non-stop adrenaline. Not gonna lie: adventures like these is why I backed the game in the first place

Paul Ligorski@heartofarcana.bsky.social

How about a fresh quest for Echelon 3 play in Draw Steel? To Defy the Stars is a high-stakes, space-faring quest for 7th-level heroes. Flee UNISOL forces, plunge through unstable astral rifts, face cosmic perils, and confront the herald of XXAXX in a desperate bid for survival and freedom.

Delving into this old school megadungeon. Facing a band of goblin at level 1 was not a great idea. Two characters deaths in the first session - easily replaced, but we end up victorious and with a new goblin guide. Best intro ever. Until a few years ago it'd have been unthinkable for my 5e mind
