Iron DM 2009 - FINAL MATCH - it's over!

Atras, I really thought you were going to take the win for this one. Hope to see you again in the next Iron GM. You had a great entry, and I really like how you implemented "Journey's End".

I liked my implementation on it,too, but I didn't like the idea of a place called "Journey's End". I was afraid, though, that if I simply used it as a theme, I'd get dinged for not including an ingredient. Good to know I can use ingredients entirely as themes.

They were a really hard set of ingredients to play with. I'm afraid of what round 3 is gonna bring me.
Thanks for the kind words. When I submitted it, I felt that I had little to no chance of winning the round with what I had, but if I had done better with my time, I would have had a chance. I felt that your Blood Coral and Cloak were a much, much better use than mine, and even if I had fully written up what I planned, you would have had a solid shot at the round.

I feel like I should have better pointed out the use of Con Artist with the Githyanki - no fault of the judge, but the Githyanki was mostly pretending to be a harmless drunk (despite actually being drunk) so that he could rule over the drug trade - if I had fleshed that out better, it would have shown that the Githyanki still had an eye on conquest, like his race favors, but was in no position to attack on his own.

It was a fun exercise, and I will keep my eye on this coming back around next time. Wik, good luck in the next round - the ingredients are likely to just get harder, but you've been a good competitor so far.

My entry is up here.

Of course, after reading and re-reading it several times checking for errors and the like, I hit post and immediately realize that it still has the name I gave my previous (failed) attempt to come up with my entry. *sigh*

A better name would be something like: The Dreaming Realm or The Artisan of Dreams. Oh well, nothing's perfect.

Looking forward to seeing your entry Sparky! Hope it's coming along ok.
 


Round 3, Match 1 (out of two): Wulf Ratbane v InVinoVeritas. How does tomorrow sound? Shall we start in the morning, or afternoon?

Sparky and Iron Sky, good to see you both got yours in. Time for me to get reading.

Thanks, -- N
 




I'll be unavailable until around 7pm EST, due to work.

I've been lucky to have weekend matches so far...

I have a lot of commitments on Friday afternoons, so a later delivery date buys me no extra time.

I'm willing to split the difference with IVV and take a 3:30 delivery, which means I'll get mine the same amount of time in advance that I won't have to work on it on Friday.

Reasonable?
 

If IVV can't post before 7:PM, then noon is functionally equivalent to 3:30 PM. Either way he'll have two nights to work on the match (tonight & tomorrow). So I'm posting ingredients now.

As I am only just now getting them myself, as it turns out noon was functionally equivalent to 3:30.
