Draw Steel Monsters on a Credit Card

Many years ago, in the time of DnD 4e, a sacred text was written. A blogpost, with content so condensed it would shake the earth. Or so they say - It went up in 2010, and I was six years old then. Monster Manual 3 on a business card is a brilliant little tool I used while I ran 4e a few years ago, fitting all the base creature math (HP, AC, To Hit and Damage) onto one side of a business card.

Funnily enough, the person who runs that blog, Paul Hughes, now works at MCDM! Draw Steel is a game I deeply love and enjoy, and Willy Abeel was ever-so-kind to expose the encounter math to us in the very first monster book. Which, gave me the idea of making a follow up to MM3 on a business card, but for Draw Steel!

I chose a credit card format instead of a business card, simply because I like that it’d fit inside a wallet in a more flush fashion alongside other cards. It also gave me a tad more size to work with - Draw Steel’s equations are a bit more detailed than MM3, but it all fits! You can find the images below - I hope they’re of use.
