Rune and LongGoneWrier spoke up first, so I'll give them first dibs on the match. If Rune doesn't want to do it tonight at that time, I'll bump you in. Imhotepthewise - when can you go?

Rune, LongGoneWrier - Are you both good for 8:00 pm EST tonight?

LongGoneWrier - which works better for you, sometime this evening, or tomorrow morning?

Deuce Traveler, Rune, Imhotepthewise Are any of the rest of you good to go this weekend? The ingredients are all ready.

No, but thank you. All our contestants were able to show and we are not in round 2.

In fairness, all the entries are supposed to be providing a synopsis. It's even in the rules. I do sometimes think that people forget this (judges are sometimes guilty too). For myself, I try to approach the content, when I submit, as providing what you would reasonably expect to provide in a...

It was, I believe, the second ever Iron DM tournament. Three of the ingredients given for the round were Mast, Ghost, and Dryad. My adventure idea incorporated them all together, so that the ghost of a dryad was haunting the ship in which the mast had been made from her tree. Her haunting had...

Gradine - remind me to tell you the story of the ghost dryad in the mast sometime. :) Your entry was very good, and I hope the frustrations don't keep you from trying again. Per the word count, I know that Rune and I and whoever else helps us hammer out these things want to know the parts of...

Congratulations to all our Round 1 winners! Round 2 is ready to go... the judges are conspiring to pick ingredients... the stars are aligned... Those who know their schedule for the next few days can volunteer times that are good for them and we will go from there.

Gradine and Deuce Traveler - your ingredients are posted

Round 1, Match 4 Gradine vs. Deuce Traveler Lwaxy Judging Your ingredients for this match are: Jumping Beetles Echoing Sounds Nightmare Clock Feat of Weakness Wild Dogs Pink Socks Because I am posting this without either checking in, we will allow an extra hour lee-way for the completion...

If Lwaxy doesn't check in by 10 a.m. EST this morning, mindful of a preference for a morning start, I will go ahead and post the six ingredients for her, but she will still be judging when the entries are turned in. Is that fine?

Lwaxy - sounds like either right now or tomorrow morning will work for Gradine and Deuce Traveler

Rereading, it was Gradine who suggested noon, EST. It is possible Deuce was already gone by then and did not know when on Wednesday it would be. I would give him today, at least, to check in some time before rushing to replace him. If he is not online by sometime tomorrow, then we can start...

Did you all set an actual start time for today?

My first instinct on reading bad lead was to think of the metal also. There is definitely no rule that says you must interpret the word according to any one, single definition. Reading the judgment, and thinking of the ingredients, gave me some ideas of my own about how to incorporate them... I...

Experience is a hard teacher. I always write my longer posts out on a word processor rather than the boards for that very reason. :)

I would count it in the word count. It is providing information about the expectations of the adventure. Likewise, as a couple of us found out the hard way last year, any descriptions accompanying the word list also count against word count.

Yes and no. We are open to adventures belonging to any system, and high-fantasy is the default, but we have had adventures for any number of systems. As I said, just stating a system provides expectational constraints on the reader and grounds it somewhat. When using a minimum of words, such as...
