I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sweating the outcome, Paka. As nemmerle has suggested, your entry was one of the strongest in the round. I really thought you did a great job with the celestial kobold, an ingredient that I struggled with. Your idea to "decorate" the Instant Fortress in a...

For the record, nemmerle, you don't have to use my last name just because it's in my handle. "Dave" is fine. Now stop working and judge, you lush! :D

Gah, the suspense! Think of the children, nemmerle!

Ditto! :)

Yours is no slouch either, Paka. There are lots of things about it I like, but I'll stay quiet until The Hour of Judgment has passed. Best of luck, er...prepare to lose! :p

Looks like Nemm's broken out of the "mundane ingredients" rut! I can't tell you how happy I was to read "slaughter of halflings"! :)

That's fine, Nemmerle. :)

Ditto. :)

"Egon? Your mucus." Do the augmentations remind anyone else of the diminished/heightened mechanic for Arcana Unearthed spells? Is Bruce spending too much time at Monte's house? ;)

I will crush whomever shows up at mid-day. :D

I'm terribly sorry for briefly going AWOL! RL commitments suddenly reared their heads and all thoughts of Internet diversions were temporarily pushed from my thoughts. But the storm has passed and, thanks to Piratecat, this fine event has my undivided attention! I'm practically free all day...

I'm terribly sorry for briefly going AWOL! RL commitments suddenly reared their heads and all thoughts of Internet diversions were temporarily pushed from my thoughts. But the storm has passed and, thanks to Piratecat, this fine event has my undivided attention!

If there's still room, I'll try again! Victory this time! :)

The solution to your dilemma is to embrace the "No Myth" style of DMing. I first stumbled across it at The Forge a few months ago and it's really the way to go. I'll try to sum it up here. The idea is that the world is empty until your PCs actually interact with it. Maybe "empty" isn't the...

Wulf writes: I guess that I take "cthulhuesque" to mean something a little less direct that what you had. ;) I appreciate what you tried to do with your entry. You were outside the box and that's where Iron DM entries try to be. I do wonder why you decided to rely so heavily on cliche...

I must confess that I'm a bit puzzled by the latest judgment, Pie. You criticize Mythago for (apparently unintentionally) relying on the events and content of a published novel, but you fail to mention Wulf's clear reliance on the archetypal Call of Cthulhu story? I'm quite familiar with CoC...

I stand corrected. ;)

Pie writes: Ack! Fair enough. Still, as you suggest, what's on the table is probably pretty harmless. Hell, it's relatively obvious and as a contestant, I would try to shy away from that if I could. :p Merak writes: :D

Actually, Merak, my entry and nemmerle's both had several parallels, but not through explicit linking of ingredients. Both of us had a ranger/shadow nemesis (that was just flat-out weird synchronicity), a forest transformed by shadow energy, and shadow mastiffs that were actually regular...
