What is Draw Steel?

Draw Steel is a heroic tactical RPG by MCDM Productions that uses a 2d10 Power Roll system with tier-based results. Characters are defined by their ancestry, culture, career, class, and kit. The game emphasizes cinematic combat, meaningful character choices, and a world where heroes stand against overwhelming darkness.

How Draw Steel works

Character creation in Draw Steel starts with choosing your ancestry (e.g., Devil, Dragon Knight, Dwarf, Elf, Hakaan, Human, Memonek, Orc, Polder, Revenant, Time Raider, Wode Elf) and culture, which includes your environment, organization, and upbringing. Your career represents what you did before becoming a hero.
