September 20, 2024Tamwin: Testing Draw Steel, Fun Combat, and Exciting Homebrew | Interview
This time I'm talking to Tamwin. If you've hung out in the Draw Steel channels on Discord, you've probably seen his name a lot of times. I ask him about knowing the rules seemingly by heart, reverse engineering the kit math, and his experience running tactical test scenarios.

September 05, 2024Backer Packet Release, Djordice Dicefunder, and the Creator License | August Roundup
The flood gates have opened, and Draw Steel is here in full. The backer packet has dropped, along with the Creator License. More people are playing the game, and homebrew is flooding out from the community. And that's just in the last couple of days of August. But we also got word of a dicefunder, a new Timescape wiki and a few details about Codex. What a month!
