...that I forgot to attach the jpgs I made (in Adventure Tools) of the two versions of my villain. The first is the most important... it explains the powers that she uses throughout the adventure that I reference by name but don't really explain anywhere else. Daggumit.
Ah well.
Editing is prohibited, but posting more stuff in the thread is allowed. Of course, the judge is also allowed to utterly ignore anything that's not in the main post, or he may have read your entry & written his judgment already.
At worst, it won't help, but it can't hurt.

Yeah, I'm around, too. Saturday is better than sunday, but I can do either.

My adventure is posted. If you're going to read it, grab a cup of something hot and a snack, it weighs in at 12 pages long, by my word processor's count.
Good thing I was home sick today. Looked up the ingredients as soon as I got up (yay for sleeping in!) and had them spinning through my head all day. Writing up the outline only took about an hour, but getting it all written up in adventure format took a surprisingly long time.
The whole thing was a blast though, haven't had this many ideas and this much creative energy flowing through me in weeks!
I just hope the next one I do doesn't have quite so many ideas(whether it's in this challenge or the next)... I might not have a full day to work on it.

did you forget to put the encounters in there? just idle judge-like curiosity
I posted at the bottom that the encounters were left out due to length. Hopefully, what the rough idea of the fights should be at least somewhat evident by the context (Epic level undead, Flying lich with a bow, Golems, fighting in dreams, etc). It was also 4am by the time I posted and I may not have been thinking clearly.
Either way, it's too late now to change anything (no edit rule and all) - isn't it? I have the encounters all written out, but it's another couple pages... and that's without all the high-paragon/low-epic custom-monster stat blocks that would take up another eight pages... and that is without whipping up the actual encounter maps that would take up another few pages...

Just to be clear - I'm waiting for Wulf to come back, correct? Haven't been overlooked?

For no specific reason, I picked the two quickest replies for the first match of round 2. If Wulf were around this weekend, we'd likely have started with Wulf v InVinoVeritas (via implicit order-by-signup-time). You're not forgotten.

Ah, okay. I had been under the assumption that I'd be playing Wulf in round two. Good to know that may not be the case (the guy's an Iron GM Vet!)

First of all, thanks for the judgment. I really enjoyed participating in this competition and although some external factors influenced in my somehow "spartanish" entry (I really didn't have as much time as I would like to have, so I ignored what I thought were "trifles" - like describing that the dagger was a flying dagger and emphasizing the overall importance of each ingredient) I had the impression that the entry was good, nevertheless.
I congratulate Sparky for his victory, and hope to come back to some other competition and join in.
Finally, I'd like to give my thanks to RadiatingGnome for his kind words at the end of the judgment. I really do appreciate his compliments (although I'm an English Literature Major and I'm supposed to be able to express myself properly in English), and just hope to participate in another competition of this type.
Best regards and good luck to all of you, quaterfinalists,
Felipe.

Wow. I'm going to have to really crank the dial on tomorrow's batch of ingredients. This is the second time that I have been warned, by name, about properly using the ingredients.
Hey, I deserve it. I totally hand-waved the Three Wishes, and then relied on heavy creative interpretation to explain the Soaking Backpack. I only won by a very thin margin, and I get the feeling that the judges are expecting me to make up for that in the next round. Am I right?

LOL. Sorry, didn't mean to kick you around the block an extra time . . . I was just worried that I'd created some bad expectations.
