Waiting to hear if I can get into this Draw Steel campaign I applied for last night. (On top of seeing if I made the cut for an Exalted 3E campaign)
Got a little bit of a (sensible) chuckle listening to the launch livestream when they talked about the contracted artists initially struggling with MCDM’s version of orcs, like the way they look and stuff. People calling their orcs “sexy orcs”
tiny cloak
theyre hot! literally!

for draw steel-friends theres a kickstarter for a splat that provides a buncha new magic items
idk if anyone has seen it yet, but the two page spreads are beautiful

preordered the core rules bundle ages ago in the kickstarter, currently debating on whether or not picking up the delian tomb would be worth it...
...mostly since I don't particularly know if anyone else amongst my usual tables has any interest in this.
tiny cloak
i didnt buy the delian tomb, if that helps
its basically the pf2e starter box
in terms of experience

my players are going up against some demons this week

i like how resilient draw steel pcs are
our troubadour is a hakaan with doomsight, which means he cant die until he meets his destined death
another is a living fungus so he can take over any body
another is an undead orc
i still wish the default wasnt killing but thats just me

Ooh that sounds neat

@tiny cloak wasn’t there supposed to be shadow elves for draw steel too?
tiny cloak
shadow elves, fairies, gnomes, goblins, radenwights, and a secret sixth ancestry will be coming in the upcoming ancestry book
for now theyre enemies you can fight and a retainer you can recruit

great art!

@tiny cloak I kinda dig the way the goblins look for MCDM's stuff, if the ones at the left side of the screen in the Delian Tomb episode 01 is anything to go by
tiny cloak
exploring the monster book and this is a highly awesome thing to have
sullen wraith
Well darn, Pay shop won't do installments for stuff from MCDM. Gonna be a while before I can order the books.

@tiny cloak Ajax isn’t that evil is he? He’s simply misunderstood? He can be fixed? 
sullen wraith
hes an evil faschy boi
Guess we gotta put the boot to him.
Was he a major character in the Chains of Acheron campaign?
tiny cloak
i think he appeared briefly
sullen wraith
@tiny cloak where’s your current campaign take place at?
tiny cloak
right now we're in dalrath
about to descend into the temple of primordial chaos
the previous adventure was in bedegar, and tor before that
sullen wraith
right now we're in dalrath
Is that on Orden? Or wholly different setting?
tiny cloak
orden yeah
my challenge with this campaign is to run explicitly in vasloria
(i dont like doing prewritten settings)
tiny cloak
<@191064954944618497> I love these
YES
theyre so good
djordi really pushed for em
im glad he did
tiny cloak
my fury player goes hard with it
sullen wraith
So are there plans to bring a version of the Illrigger to Draw Steel?
tiny cloak
matt says he wants to at some point
will prob be like an "alt class" to the censor
or something
its unclear

Draw steel took a shot at me. "not because you’re playing a
one-shot and have nothing to lose" on the discussion of the "get super powerful for a fight but die at the end" ability.
sullen wraith
@tiny cloak So I take it most of the magic in the Timescape multiverse is based around Psionics or manipulating reality?
tiny cloak
i forget the exact lore
psionics is like reshaping reality through force of will
magic is a power the elder dragons gave the speaking peoples
and its more specific to the lower manifolds?
im not an expert

Has anyone else had random loading issues with the draw steel pdfs?
tiny cloak
with which part?
reef phoenix
Scrolling to a new page and the text loads in fairly slowly on firefox.
tiny cloak
i dont think the pdf does well with browser readers
sullen wraith
I use Foxit pdf reader

my players are going after a lumbering egress soon, and i made two different encounters for them. one is a buncha 2nd echelon minions, and the first is a couple of 1st echelon minions but mostly horde monsters. which of these is more evoking vibes of a climactic battle to stop a demonic summoning?
