Mechanics of 5e don't reinforce its heroic fantasy, one of the issues Draw Steel aims to solve. So I ask thee @mattcolville.bsky.social : what if a TTRPG was built bottom-up from those same D&D 5e mechanics? What would that look like? Is that even a productive exercise?

Here's a fun idea: make your own Pawn! What's a Pawn? Little guys I made up for my fantasy setting of Narcoscir. They're puppets powered by spirit-bound weapons. How to make one: -Metal head -Puppet body -Spirit-bound weapon (doesn't have to be a sword) -Big cloak (optional) -Have fun!

These were the RPG books and accessories GMs used most at their table: - Worlds Without Number - Flee Mortals - Monstrous Menagerie - Trials and Treasure - Knave 2 - Maze Rats - Forge of Foes - Lazy DM's Companion - Xanathar's Guide to Everything - Ironsworn - Chessex Battle Mat
