IronDM 2009 - Signups Start Sunday
This is just a fair warning and general discussion thread. The sign-up thread will be created this Sunday at noon (Eastern Standard Time).
What is Iron DM? "An Iron DM tournament is a contest in which writers show their ability to turn a collection of random ingredients into a cohesive adventure over a short period of time." For an archive of past tournaments -- which make for a great read -- see here:
http://www.aquerra.com/IRON_DM/main_archive.htm Who can enter?
Anyone who is not a judge.
Who are the judges?
This event is organized by the Rat Bastard DMs Club, and judges are drawn from this membership. This year we have three judges:
Radiating Gnome phoamslinger Nifft
Questions?
Thanks, -- N

Why do we have extra judges? To cover more total matches, should interest warrant. (Interest has outstripped capacity in many years.)
Cheers, -- N

That's cool. Actually I was kinda more interested in the notion of a 3 judge panel... although that would
multiply the work, rather than simplify it.
Would you consider a 3 judge panel for the finals?
Does that break the IRON conventions?

Its been a while since I've done an Iron DM. I'll be keeping an eye open for the sign up. I am hoping the contest is not edition specific.

I'm going to have to watch this. I always wanted to give it a try, but sadly I don't have the time now.

I'll certainly consider it, and we'll all discuss the idea.
IMHO it's a great idea, since we will have the least work -- and the most interest -- for the semi-finals and final round.

Certainly not edition specific! Adaptability will win you points, while stat blocks are
not a part of the contest.
Thanks, -- N
