You Meet in an Ambush

You Meet in an Ambush is an introductory adventure for Draw Steel. It can serve as the beginning of any heroic fantasy campaign, but it contains explicit tie-ins to The Fall of Blackbottom to help you transition into that adventure as well.

This one-shot takes about 3 to 4 hours to complete and is optimized for four to six 1st-level heroes. It works as a gentle introduction to new Draw Steel players, demonstrating the main mechanics that make up the game one at a time.

You Meet in an Ambush assumes that the characters don’t know each other and gives them a reason to become a party with a common goal. It also takes place in an environment well-known to any fantasy TTRPG player: a tavern. The hope is that this adventure can ease D20 players into the heroic gameplay from a familiar place.

Thanks for playing!
