I’m the guy who does “monsters on a business card” posts, and I just started at MCDM, so I should probably do a Draw Steel Monsters on a Business Card, right?
Well it turns out I don’t have to! Amber over at amby.navy did it for me!
If you’re new to DS, there are a lot of new terms here and it may look intimidating! Luckily, it’s all spelled out in a few pages in the introduction of Draw Steel: Monsters. (No reverse engineering required!) But once you’ve read those pages, you may want to grab Amber’s card, which is a clever and compact distillation. Print it out, carry it, and use it to design monsters, and, heck, run completely improvised Draw Steel monsters on the fly!
The latter goal may seem crazy, but why not? In my never-ending goal to reduce my game prep time to just thinking about story beats, I intend to try out the business card to do that very thing.
