Discussion Questions What do you think of Draw Steel? What do you think of the GM being called a Director? What differences does the evoke from simply the GM? Does it sound cooler than just Gamemaster? What do you think about the idea that Mothership and Draw Steel have a different ideology about what rules do? Do you think Apocalypse World has a different view from Draw Steel? Do you think a GM of Draw Steel is a game designer in a way that a GM of Apocalypse World isn't? As a GM, do you have a way of "making time matter" without using mechanics? Are you able to do with just narrative or fiction? Do you think there's a (theoretical) recurring tension between heroic game and the idea of a more political game?
