It's almost quittin' time for the holidays here at MCDM, and my wish for all you this holiday season is good health, peace, and to gather those you love around the table and Draw Steel! To make my holiday dream come true, I need to play the part of Santa and bring you a batch of stuff from the upcoming Draw Steel: Encounters book to playtest. It's every montage test, negotiation, and heroic test from the book coming down your chimney. They're attached to this post below!
This playtest stuff comes with the usual caveats. Most of it hasn't been edited yet, so it's probably got a goodly amount of typos and text that could be a little clearer, but you should be able to use everything in play. It's also not professionally laid out yet. This is just James and a Word document he turned into a PDF. When you give us feedback, we don't need to know about typos or layout issues. You can provide feedback even if you just read the document and don't play anything!
These are for you to enjoy! If you'd like to give us feedback, the best way to do so is through the survey below. You have until 8AM US Eastern time on January 5, 2026 to get us your feedback. As a note, please don't link us to external documents outside of the survey. We don't have time to look at them, and so your feedback won't get to us.
Survey: https://forms.gle/fKbnBJ9hS8LffeFp7
You can always come chat about Draw Steel in the MCDM Discord or the Draw Steel subreddit with other Patrons. Remember to link your Patreon and Discord accounts to get access to our Patron-only channels.
This isn't the only thing Patrons will get before the end of the year. I just walked by Willy's room in the workshop and saw something with big tentacles coming this way.
Thanks so much and happy holidays!
