I relish the opportunity to square off once again, sir. :)

So I did some trial and error with Wordcounter.net. It counts hyphenated words as a single word, and it counts contractions as a single word. I believe those two factors account for the discrepancy.

hawkeyefan, I was floored that neither of us went with a fantasy adventure. I thought the medusa element would strongly steer this into that territory. But when I tried to rationalize a science fiction medusa, I just liked it more and more. Your take on the medusa who inflicts phobia was a...

My first full write-up in good copy clocked in at 1498 words. I wound up trimming a few unnecessary words, and adding a few back in for clarity, but I had a chuckle at how close it came. Those ingredients you guys got look like a lot of fun. Really, the ingredients for round two on the whole...

Part of the fun of Iron DM is the creative process. This is a challenging set of ingredients, but I think I have something I like. Now it's time to start writing my good copy. :)

That is quite the list of ingredients. It will be a delicious challenge to work those into a (hopefully) coherent adventure. hawkeyefan, best of luck to you.

Rune, that works for me. :)

Rune, I'm happy to start Tuesday morning.

The best times for me to start are early Monday morning till Tuesday morning. If it stretches into Thursday, that's less than ideal for me. I'm attending the Shut Up & Sit Down convention starting Thursday, so my time to actually work on an entry will be short all weekend.

Seeing as the first round is coming to a close, I thought I'd start the talk about scheduling for round two. I work in retail, and my schedule is fairly tight. I work every day except this Saturday. Further complicating things, this Sunday is absolutely a wash, since I have work followed by...

My thoughts on the entries: Those are two spectacular adventures, and I'm sure this will be a tough judgement to make. hawkeyefan, I always have a weakness for fey as villains. I think they are too-often represented as capricious and nice, while people neglect that they can have a dark side...

Seconded. I'm happy with the ones I got right out of the gate, I would have struggled with the ones you had, Gradine.

Some thoughts on the two entries: Those are both very interesting takes on the ingredients. Funny how both adventures feature a deathtrap labyrinth set in an abandoned warehouse to achieve the perfect game. The carnival should be a nice backdrop to the struggle in 'Speak Of The Devil'. As...

@Iron Sky, thank you for the great write-up. I love the way you summarize the use of elements in a sentence, that's an excellent way to look at their usage. The elements were very interesting to work with, and I must confess, at the close of this competition, I'm still thinking about how the...

On my opponent's entry: I feel like you've crafted an evocative, atmospheric adventure. I really like how we both tackled the idea of a culture of sacrifice, but approached it in entirely different ways. Both from a cultural perspective, but also in the focus of the content; stealth / combat vs...

Very interesting elements. Good luck, Mister-Kent. :)

Real life happens, no apology required. If anyone else is available, I could still start anytime in the next three hours.
