2025/04/05

It's the silence before the storm. News about Draw Steel is sparse. MCDM is working on new products, but they've barely made into testing. Some more exciting news is the new third party crowdfunder that just launched, for a vampire class. And, of course, I have some highlights from the community creations.

Do We Need Game Systems? | Andie Margolskee Interview

2025/03/20

I'm visited by Andie Margolskee, the author of the first crowdfunded adventure for Draw Steel: The Great Thaw of Gryzmithrak Spire. We talk about the adventure, sure, but with Andie having designed adventures for multiple systems, we end up talking a bunch about what different systems are good at.

MCDM is working on the core rules, the monsters, new classes and the Codex, but nothing is ready to be published yet. The community is of course ever flowing with great creations. In this episode I cover the known rule changes, the new classes and the news about the Codex.

The Serial World Creator | Iron Monocle Interview

2025/02/20

In this episode I'm joined by Iron Monocle. He's a serial creator of worlds and keeps a blog about his most recent one. We talk about how game rules influence assumptions in the world, about world building as a hobby, and how players can be a fantastic source and contributors of lore and ideas in your world.

This is a bit of a weird one. Less than a week before the release of this episode, James basically posted what could've been the script for this episode in a post on Patreon. So in addition to news about the state of the Draw Steel core rules, and future products for Draw Steel, which was also outlined by James, I've got a bunch fantastic creations from the community.

Is the Draw Steel podcast universe going to implode? This episode, I have The Dice Society on! I really have to give him credit for taking so many of the questions without any preparation or warning, and I think he pulled it off really well.

This is a shorter episode. It's weird, because in some ways not much new happened in December, but on the other hand, the biggest thing also happened in December: Draw Steel is content complete. All the rules, systems, mechanics and monsters that are supposed to be in the final game are in. Now it's time to polish.

In this episode I'm joined by Dojikaan. You might know him from the art that he posts in the MCDM community, I know him from the awesome time raider portrait he did a while back. In the episode we talk about art in the MCDM community, the importance of official art for a product, and how fanart self-sustains communities.Links:Dojikaan IllustrationsDojikaan's InstagramDojikaan's PatreonDojikaan's Twitter/XSupport the show MCDM Discord MCDM Subreddit Draw Steel Subreddit Matt's YouTube Channel ...

More people are playing the game, and homebrew is flooding out from the community. And that's just in the last couple of days of August.
