About the adventure
-- BRING DOWN HEAVEN -- It was a day like any other. An ordinary band of extraordinary heroes set out on a quest to find a missing wizard. There was a village, a monster, and a gang of masked villains. But, just as the heroes met the villagers in need, a shadow fell upon the land, the sun blotted out by an enormous… spaceship?! The world of swords and sorcery becomes a planet under attack! As your adventure transforms into a desperate fight for survival, will you hold to your role as heroes and save the village from extermination? Can the fantasy realms be united against the alien invaders? Or will you kneel to these otherworldly tyrants? -- DRAW STEEL -- In this genre-breaking campaign, you’ll create traditional fantasy heroes and pit them against scifi aliens, complete with flying saucers and giant robots. But you wont be able to defeat the villains on your own. Soon, you must broker alliances among the peoples, uniting the world to stand against the invasion. Using Draw Steel, you’ll experience climactic tactical battles, high-stakes negotiations, and cinematic storytelling that keeps up the tension. 🗡️ Build Your Own Hero! 🐉 Fight Tyrannical Villains! 📖 Acquire Legendary Titles! Are you ready to DRAW STEEL?

About me
Howdy! My name is Jimothy and I’ve been a GM for 6 years and counting. When it comes to TTRPGs, my specialty is running science-fantasy adventures with tough tactics and villainous conspiracies. Using FoundryVTT, I set the stage with sights and sounds while cutting down on the overhead for both me and you. Around here, you’ll probably find me running Lancer for both new and veteran players. Besides Lancer, I’ve also got an interest in Draw Steel, Shadowdark, and FIST! If you have questions, or want to talk to me about custom games, contact me! I try to answer direct messages as quickly as possible, but I can be quite busy during the day.

Creating your character
Characters start at level 1 and are allowed to take a Complication. I love hearing cool ideas from my players, so I use session zero to create characters as a group. If you missed our session zero, please feel free to create a character on your own or contact me to schedule an extra (free-of-charge) 1-on-1 meeting. Characters will be created using Forge Steel, then transitioned to Foundry Virtual Tabletop. https://forgesteel.net/ If you are creating a character on your own, please only use content from the Draw Steel Heroes book. I may veto your character if they would clash with the campaign or the current party.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You only need three things to play: 1. A stable Internet connection. 2. A decent-quality microphone. 3. A Discord account. Once you have signed up, you will receive an automatic message with the link to my Discord server and the link to my Player Safety Form. You can also find these links in the "Prep Materials" section.
What Jimothy brings to the table
Everything required for this game will be provided to you at no extra costs, including but not limited to: - The Rulebooks - Custom Digital Minis - FoundryVTT I use FoundryVTT for combat, die rolls, soundscapes, and visual aids. It features many tools that make play easier by automating calculations and turn orders. Foundry is a self-hosted system, completely prepared and customized by me. Players don't need to create an account to play! Foundry will only be accessible to players on the day of the game, so I recommend that players use Forge Steel to store digital character sheets. As your GM, I will focus on providing a fluid experience, where your ideas are the driving force of progression. I enjoy intelligent villains who will rarely allow a fight to start in your favor. But battle will not be the only way forward. If you use your wits, and you may win.
