Draw Steel General Thread [+]

[CommodoreKong]

I’ve been watching Matt’s livestream from earlier today (not the pre recorded video ) and he mentions that Draw Steel sells hundreds of units a day right now. First time I’ve seen him mention sales numbers (though he has mentioned it’s very successful in the past). He doesn’t break down the sales further than that, though I’m guessing he’s talking about all Draw Steel products and it’s mostly digital downloads.

That's a lot!

I have noticed (not just in the borderline dysfunctional group of real life friends I'm running for, its happened in all the ones i've played in as well) that everyone either forgets about hero tokens or is afraid of being selfish in using them.
But the group got a Censor so I'll hopefully have a person to flank with so I can get some surges that way.

You could always split them up, have each player have their own mini-pool, if people are afraid of being selfish, and they can just also spend them on their allies' actions, so you still have a teamwork aspect to it.

Best is hard to quantify, and I might give other suggestions depending on what things you need to know.

BUT - I might start with Crispy's Basic's of Draw Steel:

Thanks. Really, I just want to know what play looks like without dedicated 4 hours to an AP.

Further experiences in The Codex have been more of the same. I am not sure I'm going to end up liking it, but I don't really enjoy using VTTs anyway. Learning how they work is another ball to juggle while I'm running and the juice has never seemed worth the squeeze. I do appreciate that The Codex usually works better than the others though. And it is still clashing with my players, who don't pay enough attention to realize when it's letting them do something they shouldn't be able to. Although at least one of them I'm starting to think is maybe not paying that much attention on purpose.

The same player whose character died last week has lost another one. His Troubador and the Censor got stuck in a corner of the map with a werewolf, while the other players were frightened. At one point I realized one or both characters were gonna die if I couldn't spread the attacks around but the Censor kept reducing its speed to 0 so eventually a stray tier 3 killed the Troubador. The Fury is once again convinced this death was her fault, even though this time she was frightened and on the other side of hte map.
