6.5k words of reflection on creating my first TTRPG adventure. We'll see what it looks like after editing. Lots of mistakes made, lots of lessons learned. Hopefully this will help people that were in my shoes of never having created an adventure but want to jump into the deep end!

6.5k word count of upcoming blog post on creating my first TTRPG adventure.

13 sessions later, the Delian Tomb for #DrawSteel is complete! Players had a blast, and after my current campaign closes, Draw Steel is my forever game. Obviously, they loved the combat the most. Like many people, there was friction while learning negotiation. Full blog post soon.

Last night’s #drawsteel session - the Gilded Hand confronted the heroes in the village square! Almost everyone spent some time in the well. It came down to the wire, 3/4 of the heroes were dying, but they ultimately won the day!
