    That's alright... In all honestly, I've just been flipping coins to determine the winners, and then writing up some horse-hockey to justify the outcome after the fact. :p

    Iron DM 2010: All Submissions and Judgments

    "Wonder Twin Powers activate! Form of... Movie critic!" EAT IT, SANSUO Pros: Quirky use of ingredients. The ingredients mix well with each other. Very detailed background. Consistant and well written silly campiness. Cons: Some ingredients are a bit weak. Excessively detailed background...

    Iron DM 2010 Discussion Thread

    That's part of the reason I went through the trouble of all the advice about using "pseudo-science"... In all my years of DMing, I've found that being able to have the appearance of knowledge in a particular field is almost as good as having that knowledge -- and sometimes better. That skill...

    Iron DM 2010 Discussion Thread

    We're buying a house on short sale, with an FHA mortgage, and a 203K rehabilitation loan on top of that... And after four months, we're collectively scrambling to get in under the New Home Buyer Tax Credit deadline (tomorrow!). I've gotten more gray hairs in the last month over this, than both...

    Like I said in other thread... Terrible busyness is making me terribly late on the last judgment for round 2. I'll do my terrible best to have it posted tonight.

    Iron DM 2010: All Submissions and Judgments

    IN SPACE, NO-ONE CAN HEAR YOU SOLVE V=IR The ingredients for this adventure are split mainly into two groups. First there is the pirate angle, with the fake pirate ship (the PCs use this as a disguise to approach the space station), the tattooed hand (the identifying mark of a pirate group...

    [Trailer] Last Airbender: what's the appeal?

    No kidding... If I remember right, none of that is really suppose to happen until the third season. :p

    [Trailer] Last Airbender: what's the appeal?

    I think that gets to the heart of the problem... They're marketing the wrong movie to the wrong audience. They're focusing on the epic action and the heavy drama in the ads and trailers, and leaving out all the rest. At least in the ads... In the show, at least, there were multiple love...

    Why I Dislike the term Railroading

    It doesn't need to be, but from the DM's point of view it almost always looks that way. ;)

    I wouldn't be so certain about these.

    Why I Dislike the term Railroading

    Note that "jumping the tracks" in railroad terms doesn't mean the train has switched to a new track. It means the train has literally jumped off the tracks at a spot it shouldn't have, has derailed, and has possibly crashed and smashed into a great big mess. Like so: From the DM's point of...

    Novice DM Looking for Advice

    No one is arguing that. If anything, it's something I'd whole-heartedly agree with (see my post above, where I suggest just that). We're talking about the tone of the confrontation. The difference between you and the OP, is that you've been DMing long enough to have already built up the...

    What do you mean you give random XP? Bad man. Bad man!

    Of course, what you expect is what you get... Get enough posters (especially high profile ones) setting a good example by mostly giving out XP for helpful, insightful, quality posts, and others will follow suit.
