The evil math equation hidden in Youtube correctly guessed I'd like this video.
It's a pretty good breakdown on what 4e did right, intentional clickbait title aside. As a longtime 4e defender, I am glad people are warming up to it. Heard #DrawSteel is borrowing from it too.
Are there any fedi places to talk about the #DrawSteel #ttrpg? Lemmy or Masto or something similar, anything will do! I've seen a few for DnD but nothing else so far
Howdy #Hachyderm! I recently migrated my account here so I suppose I should probably do an #Introduction.
I am a #FullStack #TypeScript developer in the #WashingtonDC metro area.

Man, I love tabletop games with cards. Playing a caster in 5e was only fun for me if I had spell cards; having a list was confusing, and a list that included abilities was way too cluttered. Lasers and Feelings (and L&F hacks) has characters that fit on a business card. On one side.
#drawsteel 's character abilities are formatted so you just have cards. You have a character sheet with your stats and skills etc, but that's one (2-sided) page and a hand of cards that grow as you level.
Your options aren't a whole page of tiny scribbled if-thens on when you're allowed to do your cool thing. It's a hand of cards you can play if you have the Heroic Resource to spend, and then just pick back up.
It just takes all the complicated crunch of a full-fat TTRPG, and lets you grab your options with your mitts and see them laid before you. It's a great format for any character sheet.
Gotta love a game where you can give your Lv 1 character "A Slight Case of Lycanthropy" as a "complication" #drawsteel
I just got the #drawsteel backerkit play tests as a gift. Once I am done reading these several hundred lightly edited pages, rest assured I WILL be insufferable about it. But not as insufferable as I will be this summer when I get my greasy lil gamers hands on thOSE BOOKS BAYBEEEEEEE!
We play #DrawSteel tonight, the #MCDM #ttrpg 
MCDM Draw Steel updates and a review with James Introcaso #mcdm #drawsteel #ttrpg https://youtu.be/gyT6KsECxq8?si=-KzYzfNEvIVjJm67
Following the collective shrug the #ttrpg community gave #OneDnD I hope there will be an expansion of the kinds of ttrpgs people play. There are a lot of exciting ones that are out like #mothership and in production like #drawsteel that seem to be benefiting from the vacuum #DnD is leaving
What do you all think of the character creation for Draw Steel that Matt Colville revealed on his steam today?
@cynical13 I'm currently running 13th Age. I'm also playing in a D&D 5e campaign that's wrapping up. We're considering the MCDM RPG (Draw Steel) after that.
