About the adventure
Learn to play the exciting, cinematic new TTRPG - Draw Steel! MCDM's new system emphasizes tactical combat and cinematic scenes of heroic adventure. Enter into the fantasy world of Orden, where the continent of Vasloria finds itself in an Age of Chaos ruled by the Tyrant Ajax. Good King Omund has been killed, betrayed by his once-thought incorruptible Dragon Knights. Ajax's Hawklords patrol the skies enforcing his iron will on all those who would contest his will. But there's good news - you're here! In Draw Steel you're a hero, and the good people of Vasloria have heard of your deeds! Maybe you're a Tactician, famous for leading your doomed legion out of an impossible situation with superior skill on the field? Or, perhaps, an Elementalist renowned for turning all who would hamper your studies to a smoldering pile of ash? Are you a Shadow? Your name only whispered in dark corners out of trembling lips, fearing that even it's mention will be repaid by a dagger in the back in a dark alley? Something else? You decide! This story begins in the humble hamlet of Broadhurst, in a quiet tavern, as these adventures tend to. Where it goes from there? Only one way to find out.

About me
Running all 5e published modules w/ heavy modifications. The best D&D gets played when you challenge players both mechanically and emotionally. My games are harder than published 5e modules so be prepared! All safety tools included and character creation happens collaboratively in Session 0.
