About the adventure
Distinguish yourself as a hero and delve an ancient tomb in part one of the official Start Here Adventure for Draw Steel! Featuring introductory character sheets and a scenario designed for new players, you'll learn Draw Steel as we play. You can jump right into the tactical combat spotlighted in this dungeon crawl with no advance preparation! You can expect Draw Steel to be: ⚔️Tactical. Positioning, teamwork, and individual choices matter. ✨Heroic. Leave the scale at home - no need to worry about counting arrows or tracking the minutiae of encumbrance. 🎥Cinematic. Every ability has a strong visual and narrative component, like you're the main cast of a movie. We'll play through this fantasy adventure over two sessions, lasting about three hours each.

About me
I was a part of playtesting for Draw Steel (find me in tiny print in the books!) and have been directing it since its release. It's currently my go-to TTRPG system! I was in grad school when some friends introduced me to Pathfinder. I couldn't believe there was mechanics for all the world building I used to do for fun. I've been hooked on TTRPGs since! I enjoy a wide variety of systems and love learning and teaching new games. I focus on fun and providing a collaborative storytelling and problem-solving experience.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll need to have a Discord account and join a server for our game. We'll use a Voice/Video channel (cameras are optional!) in the server for gameplay. We'll use Owlbear Rodeo for grid maps - you do not need to create an account for this service, just follow a link and enter your name. You'll need to select a character from the MCDM provided starter characters. I'll share both PDF and Forge Steel versions for you to choose from. You do not need to read or watch anything in advance - we'll learn the rules as we play!
What Emma brings to the table
As a GM, I like to be my players' biggest cheerleader! Getting to see players solve problems collaboratively and creatively, discover secrets, and pull off really cool things (I'll help with the mechanical details if needed) are my favorite aspects about TTRPGs. I always try to make sure that rules and stakes are clear as they keep our expectations and reality in line. We'll use grid maps on Owlbear Rodeo for tactical encounters, but otherwise play using theatre of the mind.
