I'm just glad I didn't miss out this year. It's always a fun creative exercise to get an adventure in on time under the word count.

@Gradine - I've posted my entry! That's a wonderful entry. :D

I have an adventure I really like now, but I have to trim down from about 800 words, then somehow fit more words about the climax at the end. 750 is a tough word count to work with!

Those are some very interesting ingredients. :) Good luck, @lowkey13!

Any of those times work for me, sir. :)

I'm home sick today and off tomorrow. I won't have a better window than this, aside from the discomfort of having no voice.

I suppose I do, at that. Anytime presently is the best time for me, really. I've got no voice so I can't be at work.

Oh hello! I've been busy with work and gaming and hadn't noticed that the tournament launched! I'm here now. If the brackets are full then I'll happily spectate, but if you need another competitor, I'd be happy to jump in.

I voted for 'Dice' and 'Rulebooks'. In hindsight, I should have also added 'Other'. I had a DM buy a set of gorgeous tungsten dice for all the players in a long-running campaign. It was a marvelous gift, and whenever I look at those dice, I remember the good times we had in that game. Early...

Thanks very much! I'm thrilled that Carriage Court won through. In the last few years, the competition has become harder. The word count on the first round makes it a true test. Increasing the elements through the rounds has made a challenging task that much more difficult. Competing in the...

@Gradine, thank you. It's always a pleasure to compete with you. I'm sure this won't be the last, and I look forward to it. As always, the finish of this competition leaves me chomping at the bit to get involved again. I also have a couple of friends who might like to jump in for next round...

Thanks for the write-up, Iron Sky. You guys have been doing a lot of work going through the entries and I really appreciate the critique. Over the years the feedback has made me a much better writer. Specifically; I used way less commas this time around. ;) I considered that line to be part...

Well... that was a wild one. Gradine, your adventure is excellent. I really like your take on the Iron Law. I think we both made good use of that element, but in entirely different ways. Your Deadly Ink is fascinating; to use the corruption of Ravenloft to change a recipe is inspired, sir...

Gradine, Rune, Iron Sky, Deuce Traveler, I have posted my entry.

I'm glad I checked this thread, otherwise I might have refreshed the other one and seen yours. I'm pretty happy with mine so far, hovering around 1200 words. It's nice that I can add in some detail for flavor and clarity. I'm eager to see what you've got, Gradine. :)

That would work for me, yeah. Alternately, we could start at 5 pm EST and wrap at 8 pm PST... :)

That time could work. It's better for me if it's 8 pm EST. I work till then, and it would also give me the bulk of Saturday to work on it. But I could do the earlier time if that suits everyone better.

So. Scheduling. I'm working straight through till Thursday. My best time to start would be around 5 or 6 pm on Thursday (October 25th) , taking me into my day off. How about you, @Gradine?
