Draw Steel Encounters - Hardcover & PDF

The third core rulebook! ~350 pages, in hardcover with dozens of new, pre-made encounters ready to use in your game immediately. Our goal with this book is to reduce your prep time, and give directors dozens of examples of negotiations, montage tests, and skill tests. And that’s not all!

Draw Steel Encounters is broken up into five sections:

1. Delves are 20 different “3-room encounters” ready to drop into your game. These are not boss fights, they’re bite-sized scenarios useful for whenever you need an evening’s worth of heroism but don’t have anything prepared. There are two delves included for every level in the game, 1-10!
2. Negotiations gives you 20 new, unique NPCS to negotiate with, complete with their own motivations and pitfalls. Why your players need to negotiate with the Captain of the Guard is up to you, but if we do a good job, then these NPCs will be useful anytime the players need to…negotiate with a guard captain for instance.
3. Montage Tests gives you 20 new cinematic montages tests. Each montage test presents a specific scenario designed to be used however you see fit. Your players need to navigate a treacherous swamp. Why? We have no idea! That’s up to you! But we give you a specific swamp to navigate with its own challenges.
4. Heroic Tests give you over 170 new, specific skills tests for your game, three new tests for all 57 skills in Draw Steel! Heroic tests imagine unique skill tests for every skill in the game, at every difficulty, with unique results for all three tiers. Everyone knows how the Climb skill works, but what exactly is the difference between an easy climb test and a medium climb test? Well this book comes with specific examples for every skill!
5. Dastards! These are named variations of existing monsters with new unique abilities–including new malice abilities–for your encounters. Dastards aren’t leaders or solo monsters, they’re just normal goblins, kobolds, orcs, etc…. But each dastard is unique!
