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.

Who said we should do that?

Which part?

I hope that it's obviously a bad choice to yet-again recast Kirk, Spock, et al, what with Strange New Worlds, Kelvin, and the OS. I'd further say that I'd really rather not see recast "younger" Picard, Riker, Data, etc. I think this is what is meant above by "New Characters". Heck, I'd...

Team Caves With negotiations complete, Valendra nodded, agreeing to keep up her side of the tenuous bargain. She said, "There are not exactly passwords, but the cult tend to announce themselves with "Praise the Monarch Reborn" and the mercenaries often say "Beast's Orders" or something of the...
