Draw Steel on the Road to Broadhurst! Try it all in one session!

Creating your character

MCDM pre-generated character sheets will be provided. You'll have the opportunity to select from 9 options on a first-come, first-served basis.

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

I like to be my players' biggest cheerleader! I want to see you do cool things (and I'll help with the mechanical details as needed!) I always try to make sure that rules and stakes are clear - there are no "gotcha" moments in my games. I include walk-throughs and player cheat sheets to provide options no matter your learning style. We'll play primarily with theatre of the mind, then move to grid maps for tactical encounters. Foes, terrain, and dynamic environments are the obstacles to important objectives; you won't just slog through a bag of monster HP and you'll get to make decisions beyond which baddie to hit with your sword. I score each session with music and ambience to set the scene, but players have full control over volume and can choose to mute entirely.

How Emma creates a safe table

We'll begin our session with the deck of player safety to anonymously bring attention to topics to avoid during play. We'll use Discord to share X cards in case anything unexpected shows up. We'll end the scene and get back to the fun! Players can step away from the table at any time, for any reason, during the session and will be welcomed back, no questions asked when they return.
