I snagged it. I'll make a copy of it and then post it to the thread after the last match.

In some not so happy news, as I was making links in the game thread for the last match, I discovered that all of Snarf's posts have been deleted. This happened with the incarnation known as Lowkey as well. It means that we are missing some of our entries for posterity, and also that the...

The Final Match is upon us. Both Contestants have till Monday to produce something glorious. No pressure.

Round 3, Final Match FitztheRuke vs. Kobold Stew This is it. This one is for all the marbles. @FitzTheRuke and @Kobold Stew, you have 48 hours to post your entries to this thread. Please limit your entry to a title, a list of the ingredients used and 2000 additional words. Remember that if you...

The RPG.net review of Synnibarr should be required reading in high school.

For what it's worth, I don't think it really gets lumped in with F.A.T.A.L. Nearly everyone agrees it is, if nothing else, a serious effort and not actually bad in any moral or ethical way. It is rather a demonstration that some people's imaginations write checks their innate talents have a...

If @Kobold Stew is fine with that time, we will plan on the final match starting this Saturday, around noon EDT. With that much time to kill, I would offer a third place exhibition match, but I think one of our participants has left us, so that will not be happening this year.

Life is too short. If I was younger I might be willing to make a project of it. I was more foolish once, with more time to waste. Truth be told, Synnibar deserves some good natured dunking, but on the other hand, there is a lot of earnestness behind it, and I hate to be overly critical of...

This makes me want to dig out my copy of Synnibar and just reread it for the nostalgia of how bad it is. If I remember right, the author blurb on the back of the book describes how Mr. McCracken was writing the game from a position of experience which allowed him to make it as realistic as...

Two unanimous verdicts in a row for round 2. Congratulations to @Kobold Stew and @FitzTheRuke. You two can be deciding what day and time works best for your round 3 match.

All 3 judgments are in for round 2, match 2.

Round 2, Match 2 Snarf Zagyg vs. Kobold Stew For our pleasure and enjoyment, @Snarf Zagyg turned in Disco Party Athletes (hereafter Disco), not an adventure as such, but a 1 page rules-lite RPG of Dancing, Drugs and Weirdness. On the other hand, @Kobold Stew offers us a more traditional sort...

Ugh. It's round 2. What it means for the competition is that if only one contestant submits an entry, then they win by default. That is less a worry to me than wondering what happened.

I was in the middle of enjoying a very nice meal when I looked up and realized it was 5 minutes past 6. Round 2, Match 2 is posted.

Round 2, Match 2 Snarf Zagyg vs. Kobold Stew @Snarf Zagyg and @Kobold Stew, you have 48 hours to post your entries to this thread. Please limit your entry to a title, a list of the ingredients used and 1500 additional words. Remember that if you include descriptions of your ingredients with the...

I admit that I was just a little disappointed when I realized that it was a typo.

IRON DM 2022 Round 2, Match 1 FitztheRuke vs. J.Quondam As we begin round 2, I am pleased to say that I think both of the entries in the first match are worthy and their creators can be pleased with what they have put forward, utilizing some not necessarily easy ingredients. But only one can...

Ingredients will be posted then at 6 p.m. EDT tomorrow.

@Snarf Zagyg and @Kobold Stew. For your start tomorrow, do you prefer a morning start (about 9 a.m.) or an evening start (about 6 p.m.) EDT?

A tip of the hat to @Radiating Gnome for getting his judgment (which I won't read till I get mine finished) done so quickly. 🤠 One quick insert/reminder as I begin rereading the entries: little notations in the title, such as J.Quondam put in his ("for 5e") count against Word Count. In this...
