About Draw Steel
Draw Steel is an action‑oriented fantasy RPG from MCDM that centers on heroic deeds such as stopping villains, rescuing dragons, and protecting villages. The game replaces typical tabletop statistics with a focus on narrative choices rather than spell slots or armor class.
The product ships with the full rule sets from the Draw Steel: Heroes and Draw Steel: Monsters hardcovers, a starter adventure called The Delian Tomb, and an integrated map editor that supports dynamic lighting, line‑of‑sight, and multiple levels. It is built for 3‑6 players but can be scaled to larger or smaller groups and runs on Windows and macOS.
