I'll play ! I don't mind giving it a whirl, although the stat-blocks are going to be hellish. The good thing is that they'll give you something to fall back on if you lose. "I lost, but all that means is that I don't have to do any more stat-blocks !" Count me in !

Re: Necklace of Missles I know that the necklace is meant to be an item that takes up a slot around your neck - but does it have to be that way. It isn't constantly in effect the way most other amuletrs are and I can see no good reason why you couldn't stash it somewhere and just pull it out as...

Wulf, old chum. It seems that the both of us have computers that are slightly off beat and are thus relagated to alternate land (if there is any hope of that). Pielorhino, I'm certainly intrested in taking part if any of your contestants bail, or in whatever you may (or not) have in store...

Just making certain all is well, I actually havn't posted since the last tour and the slight "thought provoking mess" I started that time. No need to worry, though, I promise to be a good boy this time around. Count me in.

I once tripped carrying my 1E books across the street. I landed in a sprawl, the light changed...and I'm a lucky man the drivers saw my ungracious dip and declined to start their vehicles

But, you see...somethiong doesn't seem quite right. A lot of people mentioned revenge and while agreeing that The Count of Monte Cristo is a literary classic, it just doen't seem quite fulfilling. Personally, I understand revenge and there are one or two people who I'd single out for my...

I thought about this a bit recently and realised that both in RL and in D&D there exists a definite dearth om possible motives. You've got money, knowledge and love - basically with power being a sure (what is sure these days ?) way of getting any of the three when and if you should desire...

And that apperenrtly is the root of the problem ! I found your 2nd round entry to be too large. I'm not saying that the ingredients weren't used well or that there aren't memorable and/or usable characters and places, it's just that it seems more appropriate for and Iron campaign or somesuch...

Obviously, this is where I rest my case. However, I would like to clear up a few more points. I’m not advocating introducing standards for judging the entries, that would reduce the judge to a mere machine, and that would be soooooo wrong. What I would like to see is the correct, creative and...

I may have been misunderstood. I have a highly developed disrespect for any form of democracy, and I’m certainly not advocating anything of the sort. Far from, I’d prefer an iron-fisted (no pun intended) totalitarian regime ! Seasong repeatedly points me in the direction of Ceramic DM if I want...

I’m certain that all of the participants, judges, friends, followers and lurkers of the Iron DM competition series have their own thoughts on some of the small or not-so-small matters involved in hosting and running an effective Iron DM tourney. I thought we should bring it all to the table in...

All Hail ! Congratulations and high praise go to nemmerle ! The final round of Iron DM tends to be a bit disappointing, in most part, because the judges save their “best” ingredients for last ! Connecting a wuxia cat with a horn of Valhalla will strain the creativity of most writers. I’d...

My point exactly ! I was wondering what the connection was ?

sour grapes and all that... It may be just as well that I lost, those ingredients would have given me a fit !

Sialia, I really enjoy your voice on these booards ! Do either you or PirateCat know the origins of the word Outgrabe ?

Enough already ! OK, I get and I did ask for it. :) All of these kudos to Wulf have got me convinced, his was obviously the better entry. I guess I was being too self-absorbed. Rune, no wild differences. I imagine we both enjoy a solid, thought adventure. The Seldarine is a name for the...

You're right, of course. It's best to let it go, with a rattling threat: I'll get you next time !

Rant/Exposition/Whine God’s spit ! I had him ! I really thought I had him ! Rune’s right; Wulf, at the top of his game, is a juggernaut, nay, a force of nature. His “opium fields” adventure is the only Iron DM entry I’ve used nearly verbatim, and it threw the players for a loop, just as it...

Ask and you shall recieve... And to think that I humbly requsted a halfling paladin for my match with Wulf...instead I got not one, but two nancy boy ingredients. Christmas came early:) (Now watch as Wulf wipes the floor with me) Kudos to anyone who spots what appears to be a shameless...
