Playtest: The Delian Tomb

UPDATE: The feedback survey and playtest period for this adventure is now closed, but you can still grab the files below.

Hey folks! It's James here with a big update. The Draw Steel starter adventure, The Delian Tomb, is now ready for Patreon testing. It is attached to this post, so scroll down to grab the files.

The adventure includes the most up-to-date version of the rules for combat, negotiation, and all the rules you need to run it, including one pregenerated hero for each class.

There’s a few known issues we have that you don’t need to tell us about and some stuff we want you to know:

• First, all the documents in this playtest haven’t gone through a proper editing process. You will find typos and mistakes! You don’t need to report those to us. We’ll find them and fix them before we publish the adventure.

• The maps are all in progress. Some are further along than others, but they all need a final art pass. Right now you’ll see some close to done and others just barely started. They’re not perfect by any means, but that’s because we want to playtest some of this stuff BEFORE we finalize the art. If you want to play on completed maps, wait for the final product to come out.

• The pregenerated heroes aren’t on character sheets, but they WILL BE in the final product.

• The rules reference is a little dense right now. We’re working on it!

• The pregens included have the most up to date rules, so we prefer if you use those for any tests.

• You have until 8AM Eastern US time on Monday May 26th to fill out the survey and let us know what you think of the adventure. You can send that survey to anyone you play with, including people outside the Patreon. Note: The survey is now closed.

• If you’ve only ever run 5e adventures, this probably is formatted a little differently than you’re used to. The combat encounters and their stat blocks are in one encounter book and the rest of the adventure is in another so you can easily reference things at the table.

• If you want to find folks to play this game with, head on over to the MCDM Discord. Be sure to link your Patreon and Discord accounts so you can also chat about the adventure with our other Patrons.

Thanks so much for checking out the adventure! Go forth and DRAW STEEL!
