Wow, has it been 20 years already? Congratulations on the first twenty and may the next twenty be even more rewarding!

You can only play to the judges so much. In the end, you need to be satisfied with your own work and learn to speak with your own voice. Granted, trying to write a pastiche in the style of a favorite author has a satisfaction all its own; but I think such an exercise should be the exception, not...

The sword question was just a rambling sort of question which had no bearing on anything one way or another. :) As for the Elevator, I was willing to cede it for the purpose of the adventure, and I do know that the ships move up and down... but I couldn't remember if the original Spelljammer...

Wicht's Judgment of Round 2, Match 1 @humble minion vs. @el-remmen In this match we have two very interesting submissions, each evocative in their own ways. I find, as a personal note that while I like each of these, each of these submissions really trouble me with their problems, but they...

Round two and three features all three judges participating each match. The winner of each match will be the one that gets majority approval (either two out of the three judges, or all three judges unanimously). Ingredients were likewise picked by all three judges.

I have read both entries. I am mulling. I shall probably continue to meditate upon the entries for the remainder of the year and then next year post my judgment.

There's probably some redundancy in there somewhere. Insert evil laugh. :sneaky:

Sorry. But we judges are drunk on power and not inclined to rational benevolence or tender mercies in our despotic expectations.

I think el-remmen said he can go today,... I don't think humble minion has said when is good for him yet.

Yes. Thanks for keeping so much of this together.

I ran the 2014 "Easy Come," reverse dungeon scenario at Origins, and was already writing it up shortly after the contest ended. I think I have run that one about three or four times in total, and its always a lot of fun and never seems to go the same way twice. One of the highlights was the...

As we are waiting for Saturday before the next match begins, and as @Rune helpfully provides the links to those contests which have been saved over the years, I find myself going back and rereading many of the older contests. And I must say, that there's some really good adventures in there...

Three first round matches down, one to go...

My irrational dislike of gnomes is a minor flaw in an otherwise completely healthy psyche. I don't know why I dislike them, but there it is. :) I don't hold it against other people that they don't share this quirk with me.

Judgment is posted for Match 3 of Round 1.

As stated elsewhere, I judge using an arbitrary point system, as it allows me to more clinically analyze my feelings about each entry. My system is roughly as follows… Followed the Rules: Wordcount, time limit, etc. (6 points) Ingredient Use: Were all the ingredients legitimately used as a...

I have read the entries, made a few initial notes, and will post a judgment sometime tomorrow afternoon most likely.

@Neurotic Without editing your above post, and without providing any other commentary... Do you have a title for your adventure? The Title does not count against Word Count.

The ingredients for Round 1 Match 3 between @FitzTheRuke and @Neurotic have been posted. They have until 11 PM EST tomorrow to complete their entries.

Round 1, Match 3: FitzTheRuke and Neurotic @FitzTheRuke and @Neurotic, you have 24 hours to post your entries to this thread. Please limit your entry to a title, a list of the ingredients used and 750 additional words. Be aware: if you include descriptions of your ingredients with the...
