Weekends are tough for me and Monday is booked solid, but I should be good to go from Tuesday morning on next week. Good to have you back with us, @Psykick !

No worries. Whenever the inferno departs and deposits Psyckick back in the 21st Century I'm ready to go.

@Wisdom Seeker generally participants put their comments in the competition thread so they can be seen by posterity (and the whatever viewing public there is) since this thread will be irrelevant as soon as the tournament is over.

@Psykick Don't sell yourself short. I've lost on round 1 on more than one occasion. Plus my time is constrained harder than it's ever been; I think I have maybe 4 or 5 hours to work on this Wednesday and that's the most open day...

I'm good to go. Would love a 9am ET start...

I'm down for a Wednesday along with Psykick.

This weekend is out, but I can start any time next week, preferably in the morning.

I like to believe I'm personally responsible for the word count limits. I think one of my first entries was something like 13 pages long and I've had judges essentially say "you lose because tl;dr". :P I am not available immediately as the beginning of each month swamps me with work. I'll...

I've been involved in IronDM for almost a decade. In the process, I've become a far better writer - especially since the word limits forced me to use precision instead of volume. I've become a better GM not only through the process of competing, but seeing other GM's process and products...

Just worked 110+ hours in the last two weeks so fell of the face of the Internet, but I'm here and I'm in!

Last week I ran my usual June martial arts summer camp. We were scheduled to go play in the park one morning, but got rained out. Fortunately, I'd set a contingency should this happen: a "megagame." I made a YouTube summary of it, but for those who would rather read: I pitched it to the...

Thanks Len, I'll add them to my (now quite large!) list.

We tried the app and found it got repetitive and bland. It felt more like a really slow video game instead and killed the game for my family. Haven't been able to coerce them back to it since. :/

I asked the same on reddit and here's what they added to the list of things to take in if anyone is interested: Ken and Robin Talk about Stuff Nerdarchy Digital Dungeon Master DM Lair Jim Murphy Seth Skorkowsky WebDM Taking 20 Daydreaming about Dragons podcast I Waste the Budda with my...

One of my players had a wizard who built a construct familiar and spent the whole campaign improving, achieving sentience, and befriending it. In the campaign finale it volunteered to stay behind to manually detonate a "magic nuke" to be sure the arcane force that was tearing the world apart...

Burning Wheel - some of the concepts are brilliant and inspired, but hearing GMs who have run several campaigns in it say "I still have a hard time with combat" or "I don't even touch Duel of Wits" makes me pretty leery of giving it a go.

My original version of this post was too long, so here's the tl;dr version: I read/listen to GM advice sites and YouTube channels for inspiration but I've run out and YouTube seems to have stopped giving me new leads. Anyone have any? Here's what I've already used up: The Alexandrian, AngryGM...

My critique there isn't that your style of players are bad or wrong in some way, but that they are assumed i.e by not creating hooks for the predominant type of players I have encountered, it could be said you are implying by omission that players the likes of which I have played with are worthy...

Gradine and MortalPlague, my judgment is up.

Final Round Here's how I judge: My first pass will be literary: how well does it read? Are there typos? Is it coherent? Is the phrasing awkward, awesome, or ambivalent? Did the writing help or hurt the entry? Does the adventure tell a good story? Second pass will be as a GM: would I want to...
