Let's see... 1e: Level 3. Didn't play 1e for long. 2e: Level 16 legitimately, something like 22 after playing with a monty haul DM. 3e: Like Level 7? I mostly DMed, and even so, I didn't like the edition above that Level. 4e: Two campaigns that went through the full 1 to 30. 5e: Level 12. All...

That is what I mean by "turned it off". Mage Hand isn't strong enough to break the thing, but it's manually disabled, yes. You have a basic rudimentary understanding of how it works (which is better than most under Blackpeak) but still, it was simply guesswork.

You piled bodies inside it and "turned it off". What that means exactly is unclear, but seems likely that it can't be used remotely.

Oh, and @Fenris-77 regarding Little Paradise = Shrimp Heaven... I think subconsciously I must have got it, but it never came to the fore. Because I kept reading your description of her over and over thinking, "There's an ingredient here, but I can't tell what it is!" I think, had you not used...

I'd like to compete again. All the good entries, but particularly @Fenris-77's last couple of entries made something click for me that I'd like to try and see how I do. Hopefully I'll remember it next year (and notice the thread in time to sign up before the spots fill!) But I enjoyed my first...

I kind of agree with you, but on the other hand, I feel that real people are far too complex for D&D's "six ability scores" and can often be both excellent and terrible in the same ability, depending on what part of that ability score you're referring to at any given moment. Take myself, for...

I'm in exactly the same boat with my golden retriever. She'll be 14 in January, and a few months ago she was so sick, that we took her to the vet with the understanding that "today might be the day", but we were advised to "give her the weekend" and she got better. She has mobility issues, and...

Team Fusion Svetlana's voice snarled in Aywin's head, with her usual unpleasantness, "Yeah, well... I can see the great big lump of the Hydra down there, but if there's a stupid statue, or whatever, he's probably sitting on it." Which wasn't far from the truth. As Shade-9 pushed forward...

You got a lot of it right, which is laudable.

I may not have been clear, but the Vestry is to the right of the Barracks. (On your left as you head into it). Otherwise, that's basically it - though there are other undescribed branches.

@AustinHolm & @Fenris-77 - thanks for your patience! I have had so many times when I sat down to write my judgement, only to be interrupted with some typical life SNAFU or another. @Gradine - over to you!

My vote (not that it's being counted) would always go toward "New Cast, New Ship" - though introducing all of that might take some time from a movie, and might work better in a show. OTOH, I think that it should NOT go counter to typical Star Trek tropes, and therefore you'd be saving a lot of...

FitzTheRuke’s Judgement for IRON DM 2025 FINAL Fenris-77 vs AustinHolm. Following the Rules @Fenris-77 “PARADiS3 R3GAiNED” (henceforth “Paradise”) and @AustinHolm “Traumhammer” (I’ll call it “Hammer”) were turned in on time and under word count, after a bit of a SNAFU-start. Stuff happens, so...

Edit: Oh, I get it: You mean that you agree with me that they shouldn't recast TOS again or TNG at all. I thought that you were disagreeing with my last sentence and couldn't figure out how that qualifies.
