    When You Can't Tell Who's an NPC

    Off the top of my head, what I would do for option #3 is as follows: Every character has the opportunity to perform a number of suspicious acts in exchange for some mechanical or plot-related bonus, similarly to the obsession mechanics in Everyone is John. The difference being nobody but the DM...

    The EN World IRON DM 2019 Tournament Scheduling Thread

    I got swamped this week, so I wasn't able to respond, and I definitely don't want to jump into the middle of the new judgment. I still think @Iron Sky had the better adventure: He had a more unique setting and used the elements in a way I thought was very innovative (I'm sorry for using a...

    I'm probably going to have to sandbag this one. I'll admit this is mostly a practice experience on my part, but given my job, the time crunch was much more severe for me than I anticipated. I'll see if I can manage to make myself not look like a buffoon in what time I have left.

    D&D 5E What are your biggest immersion breakers, rules wise?

    How about the fact that you have to concentrate on Bigby's Hand but you don't have to concentrate, nor have any understanding of medicine at all, when you're literally knitting someone's organs back together and ending every disease in their body with Heal. Or how stabbing someone in the chest...

    D&D 5E What are your biggest immersion breakers, rules wise?

    Piping hot opinion coming through: Vancian magic as handled by D&D makes no sense from a narrative perspective. You're supposed to 'hold spells in your mind', but only people who have spellcaster levels can do this. And yet a wizard can cast any spell he's copied into his spellbook for the mere...

    2019 IRON DM Tournament

    I agree with @ajanders, and he did a solid job with the overall scene concept. This was necessary, but I don't know how much better I could have done without submitting this first and understanding the judgment method better. I wrote the ingredients out in order to ensure that I could understand...

    That judgement was correctly harsh, I think. I did feel like the ingredients were a bit far-fetched to put together, which is why I struggled to come up with something that even included them all. IMO, 'Land Pirates' was far and away the most difficult ingredient especially because it's barely...

    I assume the ingredient description counts based on previous submissions. As I put what I have into WordCounter, I have 749 words and 4,313 characters.

    Tonight seems a bit fast, to be frank. I'd rather wait until the weekend, but I could scramble a hasty reply if you REALLY needed someone to. I am the dark horse here, so I don't mind being eliminated early if it comes to that.

    Hm. I've never participated in one of these before, and I usually don't visit this site. But on a recommendation by some of my online friends, I will throw my hat in the ring.
