Quick workflow
- Open the tool and set the system.
- Use the system’s roll loop to keep outcomes consistent.
- Track only the numbers/resources that matter for this scene.
- After the scene: update your sheet so the next session starts clean.
Draw Steel resolves actions with power rolls: 2d10 plus a characteristic, read against outcome tiers rather than pass/fail, tier 1 (11 or less), tier 2 (12-16), and tier 3 (17+). Even low tiers usually do something; higher tiers do it better.
Examples
Keep the tool page open, apply one consistent roll loop, and update the sheet immediately after a scene so the next roll starts from the truth.
If the table argues about a rule, use one reference page, apply it once, then move on. Consistency beats perfection mid-session.
Common mistakes
- Mistake: opening too many tabs and losing the source of truth. Fix: keep one “primary” page open (sheet or reference) and link out only when needed.
- Mistake: rolling without stakes. Fix: state what success changes and what failure costs before rolling.
