First?

Spencer Aurand

My question is this: where is the promotion for this game!? Are we waiting for print materials to be out?

Tara Reid

I just want to thank y'all for giving ME work! I've never had an easier time filling tables as a someone who runs games for pay, Draw Steel is gonna pay my rent for the rest of the year

Evan Miller

I am very curious on what the animapthay because I do enjoy the spirit sword

Sir Darles Chickens

Just got here on dinner break. I need me some Summoner! Had that already been covered?

Sir Darles Chickens

Can we get a quick comment on if multiple complications is encouraged or discouraged?

Evan Miller

I do want to play a mini godzilla, then we fight the mini mecha and it will be epic

Joe Auerbach

Condiment focused design is what we'd expect from MCDM: Mayo, Catsup, and Dijon Mustard.

What are the gaul?

Jonathan Rowan

This is how we get the Acolyte and the Operator in the same product!

Evan Miller

Congrats on being a pro gamer/director, that is fantastic news

Jonathan Rowan

Definitely what they were referring to. I actually think “Gol” as in “toll” or “nor” is the best. Yeah, people will think it’s “goal”. But what are the alternatives? “Gol” like “top” or “pond” or “dog” lends itself to “Gaul” or “gall”. “Gol” like “to” or “ado” lends itself to “ghoul”

Not that it's particularly related to this Q&A but I wanted to say that I played in my first session of Draw Steel yesterday. We were playing The Delian Tomb using the pregens and the simplified abilities. We only played the first encounter as we only had a couple of hours. I had more fun even in that simplified encounter than a great many of the D&D encounters I've played in.

During development did you consider adding a bonus to XP based on number of victories? And if so why did you choose the current design? The players victory/respite interaction is amazing and I like the idea of adding extra incentive for players to not take take one but I could see that DS wants to promote downtime activates so this goes against that a bit.

I would say, at most, let players have one complication per echelon.
