Pre-Order Draw Steel

Created by MCDM Productions


This project was funded with $4.5m in December 2023 by a community of 30k generous Backers who believe.

Heroes
Basically, The Rulebook. Approximately 400 pages of rules for making characters, character customization, advancement. There’ll be ancestries (classic and new!), classes, skills, rules for combat, negotiation, research & crafting, and more!
We really like customizing characters and giving players lots of options. Even two heroes of the same class and ancestry can be very different in this game.
Monsters
A monster book! Basically, Flee, Mortals! without the Villain Parties or Environments. MOST of the monsters in our 5E monster book, plus all the stuff we had to cut, and a bunch of new stuff!
You’ll also get rules for building balanced (or deliberately unbalanced depending on how much trouble your players have gotten into) encounters

Ajax Edition - Second Wave
about 1 year ago – Fri, Dec 08, 2023 at 02:00:56 PM

Hey Everyone,

Your amazing support has given us a roadmap where we spend the next two years working on this game. We underestimated how popular the Ajax Edition would be and were overwhelmed by the response yesterday. After speaking with our manufacturing partner late last evening we are confident that we will be able to produce a second wave of Ajax Editions for those who missed the first wave. The second wave will ship after the first wave because a human needs to pack each one of these and that takes time.

There will not be a third wave as we are unable to produce and deliver additional units.

We have added a wave 2 of Ajax to the pledge tiers here: Ajax Edition - Second Wave

Thanks,
The MCDM Team

In the beginning we started with Four Words.
