[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 9198346, member: 60965"] I definitely felt like this adventure was more of a hodge-podge than the first. When I finished writing round 1's adventure, I felt like I'd done the best I possibly could with what I had. When I completed this one, I felt like it was as good as I was going to get it in the highly-constrained time I had available. Rarely have I won when I finished it with such a feeling. All the judge's criticisms definitely felt valid, though I was hoping at least one judge would connect the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial_properties_of_copper']antimicrobial properties of copper[/URL] which made both the bronze sword and copper kettle more relevant (even if not entirely irreplaceable) to fighting the Underdark fungus. I had written much more to explain the druids reasons for including the players (the Inclusives putting a hard time limit on assembling all the creatures in hopes it would fail and they could corrupt more of the other druids) and Lati's reason for giving up the sword (she's a bard, not a fighter and would give it to someone better with it once they gained her trust). If I'd had more sleep and less brain fog, I might have been able to tighten it up enough to sway a second judge, but such is IronDM. Congrats on a wacky, fun, and twisty adventure, [USER=7023840]@Snarf Zagyg[/USER], and look forward to seeing the finals! Thanks to all the judges for your time and critique; IronDM has definitely honed my writing in all sorts of areas! As a random final bit, I'm on version 0.93 of the RPG I've been playtesting and developing for the last 3 years and am reaching the stage where I think it might fly with outside testers/readers before I look to publishing it. If anyone's interested reading through and critiquing the rulebook or, even better, playtesting it with your group, DM me! [/QUOTE]
