Reading Club: Draw Steel

Book club episode! We discuss Draw Steel by MCDM. Read more here.  As always participate in the talkback episode, either post in the discord thread associated with this podcast or write to thomas@rascal.news. Discussion Questions What do you think of Draw Steel? What do you think of the GM being called a Director? What differences does the evoke from simply the GM? Does it sound cooler than just Gamemaster? What do you think about the idea that Mothership and Draw Steel have a different ideology about what rules do? Do you think Apocalypse World has a different view from Draw Steel? Do you think a GM of Draw Steel is a game designer in a way that a GM of Apocalypse World isn't? As a GM, do you have a way of "making time matter" without using mechanics? Are you able to do with just narrative or fiction? Do you think there's a (theoretical) recurring tension between heroic game and the idea of a more political game?
