It's not that the ingredients themselves are all difficult, but rather the timeframe that causes the difficulty. Given a week, I'm sure that most people could make solid and innovative use of all six ingredients. It's not necessarily the ingredients that are hard, but rather the time...

I'll also echo this sentiment. As a philosophy major, I immediately recognized Macbeth's adventure as an illustration of a classic moral dilemma, so I was suckered in right there. :) It really is tough to make meaningful use of six ingredients in such a short timeframe. I don't think I've...

We're agreed on "broken teeth". :p Your deadline advice is excellent and it was my intention to exactly as you suggest. But my unfamiliarity with creating an adventure under pressure led to my wasting a lot of time, as I alluded to earlier. I shall not make the same mistakes again in the...

Here's some responses to the judging. ;) First, the most obvious one about the Broken Teeth. This omission was a result of my general harriedness towards the end. It was the one ingredient still unresolved as I neared the end and I had resigned myself to including it in a cheesy way (it was...

Great entry, nemmerle. I can see where your reputation comes from. :) I also seized upon the idea of the <b>insane unicorn</b> being corrupted by "shadowstuff" or something like it, since the presence of shadow mastiffs almost required an element of the Shadow Plane in the adventure. In the...

Is there something wrong with the boards? My two attempts at posting to the official thread are hanging. Is the board being crushed?

I'm trying to post my entry in another window and it's hanging. Is there a word-limit or something that I'm bumping up against? :(

I fear that my entry has got the best of me. :( While the ideas for all the ingredients have all fallen into place, I'm unable to properly tie them together into a good cohesive whole. I've got lots of interesting pieces, but they're a bit jumbled together. I wish I could have offered a...

LOL, I'm still brainstorming my entry. I'm keen to see your results, "Goliath". ;) EDIT: changed "the" to "your" in second sentence.

This is my fear as well. :(

Very groovy ingredients! Best of luck, nemmerle! :D

ROFL! I'm reminded of a scene from The Last Starfighter, where the two alien admirals are about to die in a fiery ship explosion. "What do we do now?!", one asks the other. "We die." Besides, I've renamed nemmerle as "Goliath". :p Your definition of fun and mine seem to differ, Daniel, but...

What saying am I looking for? "Who Dares Wins"? "You Can't Die Twice"? "Look Before You Leap"? I'll step up. :cool:

Sweeeeeeeeeet. :D

I'd like to be in! :)

Garyh, I would encourage your DM to simply allow you to take a greathammer with the stats of a greataxe, just as you sort of suggest above. Honestly, D&D could be streamlined by having generic weapon stats or a "build your own weapon" section. That way your character can be really...

That might be a place to start, but it doesn't give much traction to the problem. It doesn't make sense to grant moral privileges to objects that have the *potential* to be moral. When those objects are moral objects, then we'll extend them moral protections. Until that time, should they...

Maybe catapult is the better way to go. :p But consider what you wrote. Kobold infants certainly have not acquired systems of faith or culture that you suggest are a part of sentience. If kobold infants do not possess these concepts, they could be considered unsentient. If they're...

There is a massive unstated assumption that is coloring this entire thread: Is the kobold infant something that is worthy of moral consideration in the first place? Can it be "wronged"? We would consider it odd if someone said that some objects in the world were "wronged". If someone told me...

Kieran Yanner is the current God-King of RPG illustrators. His stuff in the new Mindscapes book is jaw-dropping. He's like Brom 2.0 in a way. ;)
