Love seeing folks from the community who were previously just names on a discord!

The two of you should try to have a podcast together, you have incredible chemistry You can call it "The Goblin Society"

I became a member of the community very early on, basically when the teaser for Running the Game was shared on Twitter, and I think the heavy moderation is the main reason the community is so nice and able to have meaningful discussions in a civil way. Colville and the mods always heavily moderated low effort posts, memes, questionable jokes, mentioning peoples appearances and negativity in general; that basically cleared their spaces of most of those things. Once people are allowed to complain, argue or "try to score points off each other" in a space, that becomes a regular occurrence and disincentivizes lots of people from interacting.

As a long time listener, Jon, I never felt you stepped out of line with any "drama" aspect. But I certainly appreciate that you care enough to be worried about it, shows what you're made of! Great episode, always nice to hear two good thinking heads making each other give the best they can

I think people who watch Matt tend to quote him alot, at least I do. He just says so many quotable things!

22:01 5e is absolutely the lingua franca of the TTRPG community! All games are like a "language," and when I come to a new table I may not know what languages they speak, but i can be almost certain they'll speak 5e!

Great to hear you both! You guys have made much of the information and flows of discussion around Draw Steel much, much more accessible for which I'm grateful! Regarding the discussion of publicity etc in and around 15:00 I'm right there with you. The 'No-Oatmeal' outlook that MCDM talks about was really eye-opening to me as I started following MCDM more closely leading up to the crowdfunder. I love that the developers are not afraid to make the game for a specific purpose rather that trying for a one-size-fits-all approach. They themselves play other games when Draw Steel doesn't fit the story they want to play out!

Awesome episodes guys!

Thank you so much for having me on, Jon! I loved our conversation, it was really fun to talk about advertising, moderation, TH-cam, and everything else. Cheers! P.S.: Get in the comments, people!

Thanks for the shout out, Jon! It was great talking to you, by the way :) I hope your listeners enjoy our conversation!

Love me them MCDM orcs. I think I'm not quite on board with the Dwarves yet, but I'll get there. CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT VTT!!!

Well done as always, Jon, it's good to see a host leaving space to and actually learning from a guest, I really appreciated the conversation. And wow, I not expecting a shoutout - yeah, "Rocketboy" is probably a catchier name! 😂

Awesome interview! Well done to you both!

[This is Dojikaan] Sorry about all the pen-clicking, folks! Holding a pen all the time and having anxiety is a bad combination for podcast guesting, it seems!

Rico’s art is 🔥 and he’s a great player and great guy too!

Oh yeah, Dojikhan is the one that makes me want to draw orcs in that style.

The idea of half the hexes being blank is cool, but I would rather have all the hexes full. That way, I'm not forced to do any work but if I want to add something new, I can replace a hex that I'm not interested in or don't like with something all my own.

I didn't know about Shields going away! And, I really like the new Surge. I agree with you that keeping track of when a Surge was vs this specific target, or for one little moment, or for a while... ick. But this sounds great. And I like the cleaner notation on Potencies, I always had to re-re-re-look up how they worked to be sure I was doing it right.

I subscribe to your show on Podcast Addict, but wanted to comment here just to let you know how much I look forward to your episodes! Thanks for all your hard work.

Great summary, even for someone who's been following the game closely, I still learn new tidbits from listening!

Excellent episode this month, as always!

If anyone was wondering, Jon is a lot of fun to play Draw Steel with! Thanks for the mention Jon! Keep up the great content!

Thanks for being a leader of the DS community.

New logo and theme are really cool. Congrats on a full year!

After we spoke, I figured out what the Bump in the Dark equivalent of Blades in the Dark's Vice was called. Turns out as fate would have it, it is your character's Solace :D. Lovely being on, Jon. Thanks for having me!

Thanks for mentioning my homebrew!

Thanks for the updates! What are you most excited to try in the next Patreon packet?

Thanks for the shoutout!

These ideas sound awesome. Wouldn't be surprised if the design team is taking notes from this discussion.

Thanks for having me!

Thanks for the content! This is my first time discovering your channel. I'm delighted to subscribe and look forward to see what you do next!

Thanks for the update! I’m definitely looking forward to the episode with Tamwin.

Momentum is building. Time to Draw Steel.

Do you think you’ll do longer reviews of homebrew content and share opinions about your favorite ones?

I love Draw Steel! Lets go!

A director encouraging their party to look at enemy statblocks? Who would ever do such a thing?

Thanks for going over this. Matt Colville mentioned you in his character creator video. Where did you get this character sheet format? I’m asking because after trying to make a shadow with the fillable form from the backerkit & found no place for their Free Trigger.

Truly a hero fit to stand against Ajax' hordes! Kezzek of Molten Stone is proud to have fought beside you! Hearing about Seidrun's backstory makes me wish we had more time for roleplay during that battle. But alas, that's not what it was for. Also it already went past midnight ^^

I think the most recent news was that the Talent will be core and the Summoner will be released in a future product

Fellow MCDM follower here. Lovely conversation :)

0:58 Oh, I thought you were giving us a moment for applause ._.

The game is stupid fun! Played a Fury last night. I was absolutely wrecking everything

Mind if I ask a question? Regarding minion squads, how does that work in regards to area of effect attacks? Do they take the damage only once? Or do they take damage per minion in the area?

One huge Steam advantage to me is how many payment options it has, compared to the usual platforms. In Brazil there's 14 options and they work with local companies, unlike Patreon and the crowdfunders. :D

love it, thanks for your work!
