That's an interesting question. Since I'm in the Iron DM judging chair now, I'm pretty curious as to how much time the other judges (for both tournaments) spend on judging. Currently, I'm producing judgments between 1500 and 2500 words, which takes me about four to six hours. That times includes...

Excellent. I picked up Blue Rose in pdf form specifically to strip the rules from, and I'd been contemplating buying the BR book in print. Now, I will definitely be picking up the True20 Rules if it's issued in print form.

I've read through the first match's entries once so far, so I should be able to get up a judgment sometime late this afternoon or evening. Round three ingredients go up tonight as well. Tomorrow, I'll hope to write up the second match judgment (though it looks like I've got some extensive...

I have no objection to it.

...or holding up the severed head of an enemy, flashing the "cute anime girl face," and exclaimaing, "Kawaii!!!!!" ;) As an aside to my players, I'm probably going to commission the same artist to do a portrait of Keiko (Note to readers: not Takayama Keiko, the evil witch who just got killed...

Does the schedule posted above work for both of you?

Yeah - it's definitely an anime version of Fukasu. If anyone out there feels inspired to create something a bit more realistic, I'd love to see it :D.

Round Two Schedule Ok, so far, it looks like we've got the following: 1. Evilhalfling vs. Tinner (tonight @ 10 PM EDT) 2. Nonamazing vs. Stormborn (Wednesday @ 11:30 AM EDT (10:30 AM CDT)) 3. Warden vs. Wulf Ratbane (Thursday @ 7 PM EDT) If this schedule presents any problems for any of the...

Thanks, Zenodotus!

Surviving contestants, please post your availability for the second round! For the record, that's: Tinner Wulf Ratbane Stormborn Evilhalfling Nonamazing Warden Because I took so long getting the judgments out (sorry about that - I spent about 4-6 hours on each one), I'd like to expedite...

Round 1, Match 6: Warden vs. Mark Right. Warden. Mark. Back? Good. Right off the bat, I'm going to say that this is by far, the weakest of the matchups we've seen this round. While other entries have had weaknesses that I found forgivable or understandable, both of these adventures were written...

That's eerily similar to the process I've used when creating entries. Every single one of my entries involved copious amounts of time with google. Heck, even the advenutres that I toss at my players now involve at least an hour or two of research.

It's kinda like seeing a therapist. But meaner ;). Er, I'm just a regular old web developer. Why?

Round 1, Match 5: Nonamazing vs. Howandwhy99 In this match we have nonamazing vs. howandwhy99. If you haven't read their entries, well... you know the drill by now. Both contestants have a similar premise. An undead general, whose indecision at a critical moment was responsible for the deaths...

I would ask that the contestants don't edit their original posts - they need to stay in the form that they were judged in, in order for observers to be able to make sense of the contest. If you feel up to posting a revised version of your entry (or just the parts that you're unhappy with), feel...

Round 1, Match 4: Dremmen vs. Evilhalfling By now, you should all know the drill. Go read the entries from Dremmen and Evilhalfling, and come on back. What we've got, in this matchup, are two entries that are in need of significant revision. Let's start by trying to extract the essence of each...

To answer the question as a former IronDM champion and the current judge, I've used elements of my own entries on a number of occasions. I also take a lot of inspiration from my fellow contestants. The reason that I'm such a big advocate of IronDM, now, though, is not just because it's a fun...

Absolutely!
