Director Prep Checklist

Prepare Draw Steel Director Tools by pairing the current official source with a visible scene objective. Decide what changes if the heroes succeed or fail, then choose terrain and supporting creatures that make each monster's role understandable.

  • Open the current official stat block or adventure source.
  • Write one success condition and one failure condition.
  • Mark movement, conditions, triggered actions, and special terrain.
  • Plan the first round without scripting later player choices.
  • Keep Encounter Builder, Monsters, Delian Tomb available during play.
