I'd be down to compete.

Thanks for feedback/questions: 1) When teaching it, my spiel goes something like this: "Put a ★in a thing you're good at, roll and put an X in the thing you're bad at. Roll a couple times: those are things you're especially good at and a thing you're especially bad at. This token lets you...

Hello EN World! I've been tinkering with homebrew RPGs for nearly a decade, but this one emerged spontaneously in the last year out of the fires of COVID. I wanted to share it for anyone who might be interested in playing, looking for RPG ideas, or whatever other reason! Quick history of the...

Played two sessions: 1) Templar-certified tomb robbing, Drakes optional. 2) Rolling dice, rolling Templar mummies.

Voluntary gladiators involuntarily fight Tembo

Just skimmed the linked thread I didn't see before plus this one. So far it sounds good. Having just judged, I'd be much more inclined to be a contestant than judge. A random idea I had: what if you had a contest where you had one entry then kept on adding ingredients each round? As an...

That was my concern. I figured you guys were all veteran enough to handle the criticism. Definitely going to make it opt-in for the contestants whenever I judge in the future.

Congrats to @Gradine and all the other competitors for an impressive tournament. Adopted persona not withstanding, I was really impressed with the quality of entries starting from the very get. Learned quite a bit and, with a bit of perspective, wanted to apologize if the way I exaggeratedly...

The Land Within the Wind.

My god... I think by the second round I wouldn't have to fake Evil Judge anymore. My judgments generally take me 2-5 hours depending on the round so I can imagine soloing an entire tournament. Mad props @el-remmen! Indeed, coincidence in the form of stretching a metaphor. Maybe it's just the...

2nd derivative meta-judging? ∂Iron/∂DM? Iron Judge? It could also be fun to have everyone take one of their own entries (especially the really early ones) and tear them apart. I've looked back at a couple that I even argued with judges over and don't know what I was thinking.

Judging Iron DM 2021 – Round 3 Wicht vs. Gradine Slipping into Evil Judge persona: Final round; this time for all the marbles. Actually, you don't even get marbles... why are we all doing this again? @Wicht and Stumbling on, we come to @Gradine 's

Been working on my judgment in chunks whenever I have time. 40% done. Hopefully get it done tomorrow.

Sleep normally not a problem, just had a ton of balls in the air and stress (trying to find a new venue for my business when rents are now 60% more for 60% of the space in worse locations) before his place burned and tossed another couple balls in. Fortunately he lives alone and the firemen got...

Judgment for Round 3, 3rd-Place Match: el-remmen vs Neurotic Crazy busy week (brother's house burned down) so am setting a judging challenge: one hour to write? One hour to judge! Edit: Posting this exactly 1 hour later. Go me! Going to play this faster and looser than ever. Also going to be...

What @Wicht and @prabe said. Using "the" before you establish that there is an individual we should be focused on made me think I'd missed something since I knew of no specific individual. After they are introduced, referring to Matthias as "the monk" or Atlantes as "the sorcerer" makes sense...

I actually recorded the whole campaign (played online) via Roll20. I was only one with a camera and audio had some issues here-and-there, but think I have the videos somewhere on my backup hard drive; could dig it up and put it all up next week if anyone is interested. Whole campaign is 12ish...

Introducing teenagers to Dark Sun.

Ironically, one of the most moral groups I've had was a crew of Blades drug dealers. When the creepy probably-a-vampire dude who hijacked a lightning tower wanted to sell them ghost drugs in exchange for virgins, I was surprised when they never once even brought up the possibility of actually...
