About the adventure
This is a beginner adventure, designed such that you can know next to nothing about the DRAW STEEL system and be slaying foes in epic battles in minutes. THE DELIAN TOMB is an excellently-composed, newbie-friendly adventure designed to slowly familiarise the players with the game and its mechanics, slowly reamping up the complexity as you go. If the players click with the game quickly, it also allows for handy on-the-fly editing on the part of the GM to ramp up the difficulty. THE DELIAN TOMB is, in my opinion, a great little adventure that really gets the players on board with the game. Not very much needs to be known about DRAW STEEL going in, and it leaves the door open for further adventures if the players click with it.

About me
Game designer and enjoyer! have been playing and making game for a while, successfully funding my first original TTRPG a couple years back. Love creating deep, complex, and mysterious plots featuring plenty of political intrigue. I like to give my players plenty of opportunities for character-expression in-game and foster interesting group dynamics. There's no better feeling to me than when players get lost in a world! I have GM'd many, many games including live comedy shows to an audience, and longform on a podcast. Talk to me if you're into the idea of crafting a fun, intriguing, and cathartic story together!

Creating your character
I will help players with character creation before our first session. Depending on how comfortable you are with the system, I will either walk you through character creation step-by-step and provide advice and suggestions as you go, completely generate a character for you based on a "theme", "vibe", "idea", or even piece of artwork, or allow you to handle it completely if you're comfotable.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Make sure you have an account with Roll20, and ideally Steel Forge (as it makes character creation very easy). I will discuss the game via discord with potential players beforehand.
What Will D brings to the table
I will provide players with PDFs that include quick rules references and an overview of the system. That said, the rules will be explained and explored naturally as they come up.
Homebrew rules
We will stick fairly closely to rules-as-written. That said, I am generally a creative and open-minded GM and the rules encourage experimentation. If a player has a specific backstory element or complication that could best be expressed with a unique mechanic, I'd be happy to work with the player on that mechanic.

How Will D creates a safe table
The campaign itself contains no especially dark themes or subject matter. However, I'll still ask each player if there is content they would like to avoid. I will also make sure when talking to each player that they are a team player, enjoy playing with other people, are open to collaboration, and are a good fit for a fun team experience.
