Tomorrow is probably my best day this week; the rest of this week is pretty busy until the weekend.

I ran a game for a while year ago and while the setting is mind-bending and the rules aren't too hard to keep track of (similar to Warhammer Fantasy 2e) there are a couple main issues I had: 1) Starting players are exceptionally good with very little room to advance. Crits/exceptional successes...

Word limits! My nemesis (when they aren't explicit)! I'm in.

I don't think I've had an Iron DM contest where I didn't have multiple uses of an ingredient, so I didn't realize that was an issue. For the record, I've won 1, taken 2nd in 1 and lost the first round in another (not counting this one). This would is my 8th adventure submission. My issue wasn't...

First off, might I suggest imposing a word limit on the first entry if you are looking for one? Both the 2nd and 3rd rounds have "brakes" built in via defined word limits: I explicitly looked for them for the rules for the first round and the lack of a limit on the first entry led me to believe...

Will do from here-on out. Previous Iron DMs we weren't to post ANYTHING in the other thread aside from actual entries and all discussion was in this post. Is the other one for all general commentary from anyone, not just the participants?

Thank you! I loved your scarecrow, especially the way it comes apart during the combat. As strange as it may sound, I've tried to work scarecrow monsters into several campaigns over the years, perhaps inspired by WoW's Harvest Golems. I had a secret inner glow of delight when you had one in...

I can't even imagine. My spell check kept wanting to change "Aberrancy" to "Cranberry", "Caeneus" to "Caduceus", "Soylent" to "Somnolent", and "Rustmourn" to "Rumbustious". I didn't even know that last one was a word (rambunctious/unruly, if you were wondering). I have an old flip phone and my...

So, my entry is posted. Good thing there wasn't a word limit as mine clocked in at almost 5800 words (approximately 13 pages)! Hope you like it, 'cause it's going to be a long read if you don't. :) Edit: Crap - I put my list of ingredients at the end instead of the beginning since that's how we...

Against the Aberrancy Agents of the Aberrancy sets the players as agents of a centaur resistance against the horrific conquering task-masters of the sprawling Aberrancy. It features formidable and cunning foes, fanatic loyalty, dangerous wilds, bleak slave camps, stealth, covert rescues, brutal...

Ironically, I've actually done an Iron DM with centaurs before. I was debating making this one a sequel adventure, but that was adding more difficulty than anything it was adding (especially since I can't find the old Iron DM threads anymore). Have some ideas though...

Got it. Can you @ mention again me when you post the ingredients in case I forget?

My schedule is fairly consistent, so any Tuesday/Thursday/Sunday works for me. I saw the rules; I think most of the ones I did "back in the day" were 24 hour limits (that almost no one stuck to or punished).

I'm mostly free Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. I can do it on other days, but I will have far, far less time and so quality will suffer dramatically.

Haven't been to this site in years, but these were always fun. I'll be down. Tell me what to do and where to go.

Thanks @doghead , glad you enjoyed it. If my RL gaming group came apart I might be able to get this going again, but as is just finding creative time for myself can be a challenge sometimes much less trying to get any of these guys in any sort of consistent game across half the country with...

Dear L4W gamers, I've had a great time gaming with you all the last few years, especially in those barren times after my RL group dissolved and this was my only source of RPG goodness. Sadly, 4e is losing its appeal for me, especially the paywall of D&D Insider that essentially costs me money...

Sir Exsixten transforms back into his normal self, instantly poses and poses in such a way that a long speech extolling his virtues is immanent. Suddenly though, a horned figure crests a wave and disappears again. THE RARE UNDERWATER UNICORN! Sir Exsixten exclaims. Without a moment's...

I'm for just resolving them, giving xp and whatnot. I'll be taking an indefinite break from L4W soon, but it'd be nice to get some completion for all my characters before I go should I want to return in the future.

Cur Exsixten seems to be about to say something, but then the wolf pups come out of hiding and he begins to cavort and play with them. I'm for letting them go. I'm also probably going to be taking a break from PbP next time we hit an extended rest. None. Immediate Actions(in order of...
