[Loved Trope] Humans have something inherently interesting about them instead of being average or the "weak but populous" species.

Also known as "humans are special", this trope is actually rarer than I expected it to be.

1) The humans in the Wake graphic novel series are the only species without telepathic powers, which means they're immune to psi abilities and are hard to detect.

2) In the Grand Central Arena books, while trying to achieve faster than light travel, the crew of a ship end up in the place where all the species of the universe meet. They pretty quickly realize how humans are way more willing to take risks compared to all the other species.

While i know very little about draw steel, almost every bit of info i read on their setting is super cool

I’ve been ripping off Matt Colvilles world building for YEARS and it’s paid off a lot. His game isn’t for me, but his brain definitely is

The gameplay is also cool, if you like the grid and turn based combat of D&D, they do it better very well.

Oh i did start a campaign but it was cut short so horribly quick, I was a virtuoso troubadour Hakaan with a mountain kit

I wasn't too keen on the default setting until I read that there is a character called the Ultralich, at which point I was completely on board.

I wasn't aware of that, all I knew is that i get to play a bard that punches people with a didgeridoo
