"What Defines A Monster?" - Introducing Draw Steel by MCDM Productions

from Three Black Halflings | A Dungeons & Dragons Podcast · host Three Black Halflings

This week! Jeremy, Liv, and Candace are joined by James Introcaso, Lead Game Designer at MCDM and Draw Steel maestro, and Willy Abeel, the Mother of Monsters and creator of the playable clown race, the Clonns, as they share how they joined MCDM and dive into their most legendary nerdy stories. We talk about what a monster really is in Draw Steel, whether the game leans more on mechanics or story. James and Willy also share the inspiration behind the game, how inclusivity and diversity are built into the design, and, of course, some wild Tales from the Table.
