Round 2, Match 1 Judgement Let me preface this by saying I have a few personal biases in this match that I'm going to work very hard at not swaying me as a judge: 1) I love scifi roleplaying games. After I tried to run a Shadowrun Campaign, we called the game "Unkillable Troll, the Intense...

Yeah, I think I've competed in maybe five Iron DMs now? I repost all my entries onto my "storage blog" so I can find them later and I just counted and have 13 entries. So, yeah, been doing this for a bit. Only doing it once a year means I've never gotten over it. It's not as bad as the first...

I'm often so nervous I'm shaking. I also get "poster's regret", wanting to do a final edit before I finally submit it. Doesn't matter if I've already spent two hours doing "just one more final edit". In some ways, posting is a relief because at least it's in someone else's hands now.

Oh, was busy most of the weekend and missed that it was "PM". Carry on! I'll work on getting my Match 1 Judgement done tonight, by the way. This week is a bit busier than last week, so we'll see if I can manage to write under 10 pages (and get to bed before 2am)...

Rune?

The way I see it, if you are the sort of GM looking to "give players free reign" you're probably not going to be drawn to pre-made adventures, more setting books that give you ideas that you can plunk your PCs down in and run with. I absolutely think that your adventure makes a great setting...

I have the internet shipped to me via Alpaca caravan, you're lucky.

My thoughts on what really sets PCs apart from most NPCs in games (especially Hack-and-Slash, combat focused ones like D&D) are: a) PCs will leap to violence as a solution at the drop of a hat with little to no thought of the outcome. Sociopathic or self-moralizing. b) They will fight while...

Looks like we're good to get rolling on round 2 soon. @Rune and LongGoneWrier, what's your availability look like for the next few days?

Round 1, Match 3 Judgement This round might be difficult for reasons far different than Rune vs steeldragons; after reading both adventures, my initial response was not "interesting" like both of their entries, but instead "what?" Both felt like walking into a movie you've never seen before 30...

GuardianLurker, your entry is now late. Please post it whenever you are done.

One thing I could have disclosed earlier that may make me a challenging judge for these forums: I don't play 5e D&D, never have, likely never will. After burning out of 4e, I walked off into level-less, skill-based games (like EPIC RPG) with a dabbling of more narrative games (like Dungeon...

I'm now writing this in OpenOffice so the Invalid Token monster doesn't eat another massive post. Ugh, so hard to get fired up to start writing when you've just spent hours on something and it is just gone. *Sigh* This will be much more concise, perhaps for the better as in case I was rambling...

Edit: no auto save, the message I just posted about it being eaten is all it brings up when I go back. Ah well, such is life I guess (or suck is life in this case)...

O... M... G... I just typed up the whole comprehensive Match 2 Judgement - at the very least 10 pages worth - then hit post and got the "Invalid Token" message so it's all... gone. Right after I hit send, I remembered to always get a copy before posting, but I was too late. When I recover, I'll...

Your match is up! Good luck!

Round 1, Match 3 @Imonhotepthewise and GuardianLurker Your Ingredients are: Doomsayer Starless Stream Hungry Darkness Forged Pardon Dry Water Arcane Gambler You have until 10pm EST tomorrow to produce your entry. Good Luck, and please remember not to edit your entry after you post it. I...

Have a busy day, but will attempt to read them and have my judgement complete before I go to bed tonight.

I found the first round to be by far the hardest last year. I spent several hours stealing four words here to add them in there, finding more concise ways to describe things to free up two words I could "spend" somewhere else. Then I realized I'd forgotten a paragraph and had to steal 34 words...

He didn't make it. GuardianLurker, let me know if tomorrow at 10pm EST works for you.
