My players have recently been asking if we can do something close to this concept, so this one's got me pondering. The wording and balance are a bit rough, but the idea is solidly grounded and the list of bonds and rewards gives a director a lot of inspiration to work with. Would love to see this further developed.

If I might help with ideas... this somewhat reminds me of Fabula Ultima. If you don't know of it, it's a JRPG-inspired system, very heroic in vibe like Draw Steel is. A big mechanic it uses for party relations is Bonds and assigning different emotions/dynamics to them. They gradually build up over time (as do their benefits) during downtime/campfire scenes. May be something worth looking into for possible inspiration. 

Really cool concept, love the art! You gave us a taste, and it left me wanting more; I would love to see this expanded upon. The storytelling it facilitates is great for any table. Personally, I would love a little more mechanics, but that is just my preference. I do think some of the abilities in rewards could use a couple of passes cause some of the wording is more complex than it could be and could be tightened up later on through playtesting. Overall great though!

That art piece is a delight! Real give a sense of theme and colour to the game this supplement can be used for. 
Can't be critiqued, but well done. 

A good blend of storytelling, group bonding, and with some fun abilities (I can see one of my players shouting: 'Throw him into my Fist!') there is some good design on show here, perfect for the right sort of table. 

I love these prompts! I definitely appreciate your disclaimer that it's a tool for groups that have been playing together already for some time. That being said, I think it could be a terrific tool to incorporate into Session 0 to assist in the generation of those bonds from the very jump of play. 

I think as a draft this is amazing, but I would want to adjust/add some of the rewards. the code language for instance is just never going to get picked over coordinated attack. i dunno if throw him into my fist needs to be a trigger as written. the owlbear trench coat is fun, but extremely specific. I'm all for the tying of narrative to mechanics like this and wanna see as much of it in draw steel as possible. Would pay for a longer more polished list of rewards.

Very cute. I like porting over PBTA-adjacent bonds and tying them to a real mechanical consequence. The different bond type groups were also a really smart way of categorizing them rather than tying them to specific classes. I know space was a limit, but I bet you could spin this out into a whole thing where certain bonds/bond types tie directly into certain rewards, or even more specifically between you and the ally you bonded with, rather than working on all allies. The Code Language perk is also really fun!
