Playtesting Preview
Draw Steel is a role playing game currently in development at MCDM Productions, LLC. This product is, for now, only intended for the community of Draw Steel Backers currently playtesting the game, both game masters and their players. This is not a substitute for the playtesting material nor is it a comprehensive collection of the rules.
Toolkit Upkeep
If there is a future Backer Packet with more class levels and the Game License continues to allow I will keep this tool up to date with the released rules at least up until the final release. This effort wouldn't be possible without eagle eyed users of the sheet so if you spot a spelling error, incorrect ability text, or any other issue please let me know! I'll get it fixed right away.
Community Support
A HUGE very special thanks to the community members who helped me input rules text and fill out ability cards. This would not be ready this soon if it wasn’t for you.

I was just thinking of making something like this for the second backer packet, then I found this. Thanks so much!
If you need any help getting a version of this ready for packet 2, please let me know. I'd be happy to help.
Thanks for the offer! The current plan is to finish my first pass updating all of the rules text as soon as possible then I'm going to share the new version with comment permissions so anyone can point out errors and issues. Will definitely need all the extra eyes on it I'm sure.
Great. If there are any classes you want help updating, please let me know. I also have a few ideas for how to automate the sheet to cut down on the copying and pasting. I've started work on this already in a version of the toolkit, and will send you the amendments, if that would be helpful.
I decided a while back to keep automations off of the main sheet (just for simplicity/constancy), but I would still love to see a version that works like that! If you're in the MCDM discord server there's a post for this toolkit in the DS Homebrew channel. I've got a list o links to community iterations on the toolkit and I'd be more than happy to add yours when it's ready.
Do you plan on making a new/updated version for backer packet 2 and/or the full game later on? The pre-filled cards for ancestries abilities and kits are awesome, but even just the blank sheet reworked for the full system's mechanics with the cheat sheet and skill description pages will be an order of magnitude more usable than the form-fillable PDFs provided by MCDM.
Yes! I'm working on a full update with prefilled card for the Backer Packet 2 and intend to do the same when the full game is released. I had hoped to have it ready this week but had some life related delays. Keep an eye out!
This is absolutely amazing. I made several characters using it and it's a piece of cake, and the final layout is way better than the character sheets that come with the test kit. The only error I noticed is that the description for the Search skill is "Makes bets with others."
Thanks for the catch! I've updated the Search skill text. I'm glad you've found the sheet useful!
This looks perfect! I want to playtest this with the backer kit but it'd be difficult to get them into the game without something like this, you're a legend!
