    Crafting an Adventure Module Format

    I'm pretty sure that Microsoft OneNote might be the solution you're seeking. I started using it (on recommendation of the hosts of the Happy Jack's RPG Podcast) for organizing my games, and holy CRAP does this thing work. It'll do pretty much everything you listed, and it's hard for me to argue...

    Gradine, are you (also) checking this thread every hour or so? ;)

    How do you feel about nudity in RPG books?

    This. If you publish a book with nudity, you'll almost certainly hurt your bottom-line sales. Why risk it?

    I'm doing what little I can to find us an alternate, but no one in my local gaming scene has taken the bait.

    All previous years' entries are right there on their site. Pretty impressive stuff, from what I saw.

    Board Games with "D&D feel" for kids

    It's no board game, but I've had a huge pile of success with the pseudo-wargame Fuzzy Heroes. You use your kids' stuffed animals as combatants in a cute, simple war game of Fuzzy Heroes vs. The Naughty Eye King and his Renegade Boy Toys (action figures). If you've already got a bunch of these...

    Robber Fly miniature?

    I did find a cheap Halloween Bag-O-Flies a while back that filled this particular niche. I snagged about 20-30 inch-long plastic flies (black bodies, clear wings, and splotches of red paint on the eyes) for about a buck. And like ExploderWizard, I also have a nice collection of cheap...

    How do you feel about nudity in RPG books?

    As a 13-year-old, I was absolutely in favor of nudity in the Monster Manual. (Yay, succubi!) Nowadays, I agree with Wicht. There's really no need for it, unless it's specifically an adult-oriented and -themed book. The Book of Vile Darkness is really the only one that comes to my mind where it...

    The start time doesn't really matter to me. I'm champing at the bit and eagerly awaiting the challenge. Good luck Gradine, and may the best GM win. :)

    IRON DM 2014 Tournament

    I was hoping to see a cute little bunny / gambler; the WISC cheats by peeking at the hidden dice cups of the other players at the table. The obsessive-compulsive otyugh is on an endless quest to win in this dicey situation, because he believes that probability will eventually cause the odds to...

    Looking for a visually immersive campaign management tool

    I have everything I need for organizing my campaign, and I use the combination of OneNote (for myself) and Obsidian Portal (for my players). Seriously, these are just about as good as it gets.

    Wow. I'm glad I'm not the guy judging this match-up. Well done, gentlemen. I'm definitely gonna have to bring my A game to get past y'all...

    I'm available. An evening start time would probably be preferable, but not necessary. Bring it on.

    Sorry for the lack of communication - it was a hell week at work, but next week should be far better. Weekdays are probably easier for me, schedule-wise.

    I'm utterly available through Sunday. Monday's gonna suck a lot, but then I'll be mostly available from then on whenever my next opponent victim is ready for evisceration.

    Named demon/devil needed

    It is exactly who you, as the GM, say it is. Steal the name from another source they likely won't recognize. You can totally use Malebolgia, Orcus, Yog-Sothoth, Koschtchie, Nicodemus, Venger, Takhisis, Khizarvexius, or Fred Claus. If you want this demon lord to embody a specific set of views...
