Campaign conclusion: epic pvp beatdown.

Reality-burned into the Infinite Inquisition.

We going to do the 1-hour competition for 3rd place again? That was fun last year (and hard).

Judging Round 2 Match 1, Wicht vs. El-Remmen Three passes: casual reader looking for cool bits, GM looking at running it, Iron Judge weighing ingredient use, interlinkage, and creativity. Vaguely stream of consciousness, hopefully more coherent as more sleep procured. First up: @Wicht with...

Lessons learned: 1. Don't play with groups like this. As GM distribute spotlight. 2. Don't play with groups like this. 3. Don't. 4. Don't. 5. Don't. 6. Don't. 7. Good luck. 8. Don't. 9. Don't. Half-joking.

So many: GM gives professional actor in group majority of spotlight since he's so entertaining. Everyone else expected to watch, play scraps. Make magic user. GM doesn't like how broken power-gamed wizard is in RPG system that they wrote. Spontaneous magic nerfs and all enemies heavy...

@loverdrive Finally found some time to read through the entries I wasn't judging. Your artistic prose style and evocative phrasing is phenomenal. I'm jaded on fiction to the point I barely read it anymore plus have written several novels myself, so when I say what you evoked in 750 words is...

I'm relieved I'm judging and not competing this tournament; collectively, these may be the strongest round 1 entries I've ever seen. Entries that are losing would have crushed most 1st round entries in past competitions. Even if you lost, know us judges are struggling with these entries in the...

@Snarf Zagyg , after reading your summary, your adventure is much deeper and nuanced than I saw when I was judging. I literally am about the worst judge you could have drawn for this; me having to go to a search engine to see who the Coen brothers were again probably doomed you more than...

Judgment for Round 1, Match 2: Snarf Zagyg vs el-remmen First off, sorry for limited participation so far; love Iron DM and wanted to stay involved but heavy RL stuff has hit that's taking up much of my time (and devouring my sleep). I'm super punchy from the not sleeping much the last few...

Children Of Death (my first entry ever) was "only" 6767 words Most of the rest of mine clocked in around the 3500-5000 word range. I pushed hard for actual word count limits since I lost several matches due to entries that were "too long". When I asked "too long for what word count" I usually...

This 1-hour version was fun and challenging in a quite different way. Given my time constraints now-a-days too, it was much easier to fit in.

I recorded it. ~36 minutes is where I hit the wrong key, wipe everything, and start retyping it all. One hour wasn't short enough to be a challenge I guess?

I wrote it all in-browser to save time. 35 minutes in, I hit the wrong key on my keyboard and wiped it all out and had to retype it. Rough.
