    IRON DM 2021 Tournament

    In other words, mechanics don’t matter unless they do. For example, it probably won’t matter that a hypothetical system considers healing potions mundane. But, if an adventure expects a dying NPC to be encountered inside a dead-magic area, the adventure needs to account for it. If the NPC is...

    IRON DM 2021 Tournament

    Cool. Using an obscure system that the judge(s) might not be familiar with is always a risk in IRON DM (since the judges won’t follow links in an entry). That doesn’t mean it can’t be done and done well, of course. The trick is to make the shape of the adventure clear instead of focusing...

    What If...?

    I was actually kinda hoping (before his reveal happened) that Kang would turn out to be a Loki variant.

    Out of curiosity, what is a Trophy Incursion?

    At least until Ego shows up.

    Looks like we’re going to need to rethink Match 4. I believe @loverdrive indicated availability as early as Friday. @Neurotic, can you do Friday or Saturday match? (As a bonus, there’s only 5 hours difference between you two.)

    What If...?

    The Watcher asks us that very question right at the beginning of the episode.

    I’m sorry to hear about your rough circumstances and I hope things work out for you sooner than later. I do appreciate your gracefully bowing out in time for us to slot in an alternate. Assuming you’re sure you don’t have the time, that is. I do recommend that (if you haven’t already) you ask...

    What If...?

    As near as I can tell, Put more simply, at this point, all variant timelines that have or will have ever existed (outside the so-called “sacred” timeline) have never been pruned. Even though they also all have been.

    To elaborate: a well-crafted subtitle can take a lot of the expository load off of an entry in a very efficient few words. I personally encourage their use as such, but they really do need to count against the word-limit. Of course, @Iron Sky will be the arbiter for the match in question. It...

    What If...?

    There’s no reason to assume she’s still sane, just because she comes out coherent. Although, if her personality was already highly adaptable to unusual situations, the superserum would heighten that trait, I would think. And frankly, the sanity-fraying aspect of cosmic horror doesn’t make much...

    Scheduling for the IRON DM 2021 Tournament!

    @Wicht and @humble minion Would y’all like to start tomorrow, Thursday, or Friday (EDT, of course. humble minion would be ahead of that by 14 hours, right?). A late-ish start for Wicht would probably be best, so humble minion doesn’t have to start too early in the AM of the next day...
