Director Tools
Draw Steel Encounter Builder
Build cleaner Draw Steel encounters with party size, objectives, terrain, monster roles, minions, and session prep checklists.
What makes a Draw Steel encounter useful?
A clear objective, readable terrain, monsters with visible jobs, and enough pressure that players spend resources intentionally.
Encounter Checklist
Director pages should function like working prep sheets. Each encounter should make the table state obvious before the first round starts.
- Party level and hero count.
- Objective and failure pressure.
- Monster roles and minion use.
- Terrain that affects movement, cover, or line of effect.
- Rules likely to appear.
