The Dice Society is back on! It's been a year since we last talked, and a lot has happened since then: the release of Draw Steel, Jams of the Timescape, You Meet in an Ambush, Hooked on Crafting and him writing for the Encounters book.

I'm joined by DimaJeydar. He initially popped up on my radar when he released a Ukrainian translation of the starter rules for Draw Steel. In the time since he's posted an update, published a starter adventure, and a fourth level adventure set in the timescape. This episode is all about translating: how do you preserve the emotion of a phrase, how do find the right word and how do you make carefully crafted multi-word names sound just as good in a completely different language and culture?

This episode I'm joined by Matheus Graef. If you've bought any product from MCDM in the past 5 years, you've seen his work: the mimic backpack retainer, the yumgrubs, the MCDM kobolds, radenwights, and the list goes on. He talks about being a TTRPG illustrator, his process and how it is to work with MCDM as an artist.

This episode features Sam McGurran and Subharup Roy. Sam's a playtest coordinator for MCDM and Shuv is the mastermind behind The Blacksmith's Guild. Together they're running a crowdfunder for A Refugee's Guide to Nomas, a setting set in a psionic city, with a lava river for a sky, and districts in a constant power struggle.

Paul Ligorski is back! He's currently running a very successful crowdfunder for his next big Draw Steel adventure: The Cave of Amber Tears. We talk about the inspiration behind the new adventure and about his process for designing adventures, both for Draw Steel and other TTRPGs.

This episode I'm joined by Jennifer Kretchmer. She's worked with all the usual suspects in the TTRPG business, but the MCDM community might know her from the 10 Candles video on Matt's channel, and more recently as the accessibility consultant on Draw Steel. The work she did on Draw Steel, actually broke new ground in the field of art descriptions.

Ananam of Triglav Games is back, as my first returning guest. The team at Triglav is about to finish up work on the Vampire class they crowdfunded earlier this year, and they're at this moment running their second crowdfunder called Boggits of Kingsmire. They're bringing the frogs and the swamp to Draw Steel in full force.

Tom Bloom is the designer of Lancer RPG, author of Kill Six Billion Demons, and self-proclaimed 4e sicko. Tom made some comments about Draw Steel on Bluesky, and I thought it would be interesting to hear his thoughts on Draw Steel, as a designer of a well-liked tactical RPG. We also talk about games not appologizing for their design, how testing makes games better, and how Draw Steel is not appealing game.

James Introcaso. Lead designer of Draw Steel. Need I say more. I was really excited to have him on, and it was a delight. James talks about going to GenCon, the value of showing that the core rules aren't sacred, how the victory and respite system is core to the Draw Steel experience, and his adventure design philosophy.
