Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

DimaJeydar: Translating Draw Steel | Interview
Q: What was the initial inspiration to start translating the rules?
He describes a long-standing interest in translation, a desire to challenge himself with Ukrainian terminology, and the motivation to render game terms in a way that preserves both meaning and evocative feeling while staying true to the source.
DimaJeydar: Translating Draw Steel | Interview
Q: Give us an introduction of who you are, and also, how did you end up in the Matt Colville slash MCDM community?
The guest explains his background, how he learned English and Ukrainian, discovered Draw Steel, and became involved with the MCDM community through curiosity, translation work, and engagement with the Discord and Patreon playtests.
James Introcaso: Designing Draw Steel | Interview
Q: How did the negotiation system come about and why is it central to Draw Steel?
Negotiation emerged from a desire to keep the core combat system dynamic and interesting; it adds layers of strategy and roleplay that differentiate Draw Steel from traditional combat-heavy RPGs, while still aligning with the game's emphasis on heroic storytelling.
James Introcaso: Designing Draw Steel | Interview
Q: What was your favorite Draw Steel feature or content to work on and why?
The downtime system and its accompanying events, crafting, and language mechanics, because it created a flexible backbone that supported player-driven storytelling and allowed for meaningful, evolving narratives across sessions.
Matheus Graef: Drawing Steel and Monsters for MCDM | Interview
Q: What are you working on besides MCDM, like your own RPG?
I'm developing Omnissutas, a classless, level-less RPG with a fail-for-XP system, set in a weird fantasy world with influences from Star Wars, Morrowind, Planescape, and Bronze Age armor aesthetics, and I've integrated some MCDM-inspired elements into it.
