A playtester in our Saturday game played a 9th level knight and it was VERY cinematic!

My players are going to eat this up. They love taking on extra difficult content for extra rewards.

Dang just when I think I have my favorite already picked out. I’m getting some awesome Hollow Knight Silk Song vibes from this one. This heart makes me deeply uncomfortable. Reminds me of religious devotion to something that is harming you and those around you, not realizing until it is too late

Spooky. Reminds me of the Panopticon.

That’s what we call brand consistency! When your products are consistently excellent, the people will come back to the well for more.

It's great to see Echo's first backerkit! Echo goes above and beyond to support other Draw Steel creators and it feels good to be able to reciprocate her kindness and generosity.

Whispers of Darkness & Power
Eldritch horror comes to Draw Steel! In this supplement, heroes will gain access to powerful corruption abilities at the cost of their mind and body with many new monsters to use those powers against....

Bookmarked! I’m gonna need this for the exploding crystals and bookshelves in the adventure I’m working on.

Never underestimate the value of resources that allow D&D players to make a clean cutover to Draw Steel!

This is fantastic. Definitely printing these out and using magnets to pin them onto my DM screen next time I run in person!

This is the exact video I needed for prepping my playtest. Thank you thank you thank you.

An Elven hero slowly being altered by the Corruption flowing through her, how long can she can she continue to hold it off and what powers has it granted her? Learn more about Whispers of Darkness & Power coming to Backerkit on August 28th! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/k... #drawsteel #mcdm

Best episode that I’ve listened to yet. “Draw Steel is in good hands!”

I was just saying that I need to get myself some Draw Steel dice!

I loooove mechanics in TTRPGs that offer players great power at great cost. Can't wait for these corruption mechanics to go live!

Super stoked about this backerkit. I looked on Etsy for 20-sided d10s forever and could not find any. Much needed!

It’s awesome to see the community filling in the Timescape in “Orden and the Timescape”

Nice! I’ve been really wanting local Regina’s like Broadhurst to dig my teeth into!

This is a remarkably powerful project! I love how ya’ll get right to the core value proposition and supply a reasonable alternative. Very organized.

I've loved this fantasy ever since playing the Infamous 2. There's something so organic about coupling progression to the story unfolding at the table in this way. Reminds me of the wizard fantasy of finding spells out in the wild, but turned up to 11!

Yes! I do struggle to give negotiation the same high-stakes tension! I love the promise of the negotiation system in Draw Steel, but my group bounced off the system HARD. I'm excited to dig into Speak Carefully and see if I can't level up my Director skills and make another go at it.

The color palette for this product does a ton of work. That awesome nightmare monster makes me think of the creepy beastie from Castlelvania season 2 and I loooooved Castlevania season 2

Just finished watching the Netflix Devil may Cry anime. Pretty impossible to disagree that Draw Steel NEEDS this player fantasy. Good luck, I can't wait to see the art that comes from the backerkit.

The average level-of-effort and quality of the average Draw Steel project is pretty remarkable. Its inspiring.

The composition in this illustration by @jaspinplanet.bsky.social is inspiring. I love all the small details to discover. Especially the forced perspective of the trees all reaching up towards the moon.

Super exciting to see progress on some Crack the Sun content in the Codex! I know my group will be holding off to play until the content makes it's way into the Codex. Luckily there is plenty to play in the meantime. 🎲🎲

Art of the Wicker Man summon from @gubdm.bsky.social 's Kiln class! As a kiln, if nobody else is in your corner, you ALWAYS have your biblically accurate tree to back you up 🔥😤🔥 (at level 9 lol) #drawsteel #ttrpg #illustration #benotafraid
A kiln holds a burning Talisman aloft, summoning an eldritch root monster known as a wicker man behind them. The monster holds a party of the kiln's rivals, ensnaring them as it burns with the flames of the undermind. The scene takes place in a ruined temple, with a destroyed wall giving a peek of the pine forest beyond.
The kiln is a man wearing a toga-adjacent robe, a long necklace with several other talismans attached, a smaller choker, and a headpiece made of sticks that resemble antlers. His long gray hair is floating in the air, glowing with heat at the ends. his tattoos and eyes are also glowing, both them and his hair symbolizing his soul being consumed by the undermind.

The Wicker man is humanoid from the chest up, its body being comprised of several thick roots twined together to form a humanoid shape. the roots come untwisted below the chest, each individual piece wrapping around another attacker.  The wicker man's head is a lion's mane of roots, with a massive black eye shaped hole in the middle. an iris of pure flame peeks out from its center.

The rivals, from left to right:
-a red-haired elven mage, wearing a black body stocking and blue robe and wielding a staff.
-a sword-weildng radenwight (mouse person in MCDM's Draw Steel) wearing a green jacket, white undershirt, and navy blue pants. 
-a knight in full plate armor, dangling like a ragdoll
-a dagger-wielding wode elf in a black sweater and green cloak, looking up at the wicker man from the ground and shielding his eyes from the bright light.
