Way to lay on the guilt. :blush: Actually, out of curiousity, which ideas proved the most lethal. I have a morbid professional curiousity in knowing how characters manage to get themselves killed.

Ah - slightly misread it then. Sorry.

Iron DM 2016 Contest Rules Iron DM 2016 Contest Rules The Basics: An Iron DM tournament is set up in a single-elimination bracket style, with each match determined based on scheduling availability among the eligible contestants. Matches will begin at a time designated by the judge and...

The Gas Spore has been around for quite a while and is something of a classical monster. It was first in the 1977 Monster Manual for AD&D. It was also stated up for 2nd edition, 3rd (via Tome of Horrors I believe, but also in Lords of Madness), and Pathfinder (again in Tome of Horrors Complete).

My early players/siblings/friends players were definitely not into complicated plots. But I was heavy into world-building, dungeon crafting and trying, in vain, to make my writing not so derivative of Tolkien. I will say that I was probably not doing all that by the 3rd grade. I think it was...

Put mirrors in the lair. Have a big mirror near the front of the lair that projects a magic aura but otherwise doesn't do anything but is so big and massive it creeps out the party and makes them waste precious time as they try to figure it out. Their arguing should alert the beholder to their...

That was my thought also. :)

Perhaps not everyone knows what IRON DM is. Perhaps you are new to EN World, or you simply missed it over the years. For your benefit, I have carefully plagiarized, cut-and-pasted arranged and edited the following well written introduction. What is IRON DM? The founder says it best...

In hindsight, if the boards were down for a few days and then lost chunks of memory, I am a little thankful I procrastinated sensibly waited to start the contest. I shudder to think of losing half a contest in the middle of the contest.

I feel like I am suddenly in mirror-universe. Not only has entire conversations been erased from ENWorld, and my Signature reverted back to last year's signature, but now Morrus is defending his Iron DM title. In my universe, Deuce Traveler won last year. I shudder to think what other...

Hello, my fellow EN-Worlders! It's that time of year again. The weather in these parts is turning cool. Cloves, cinnamon and ginger get mixed together in a certain proportion and added to just about everything. And the thoughts of people young and old alike turn to that age old question...

Well it is December. Its a special time of the year over there. Would you really want to be the one to be working on an OGL at WotC this close to Christmas?

Even my wife, who mostly plays RPGs to humor me, found Dorkness Rising to be funny. There's a running gag with a bard dying that she still laughs about when we are playing.

You heretic.

Give them time, they've only had four years to work on it.

I haven't seen the first or third, but the 2nd Gamers movie, Dorkness Rising, is my favorite RPG movie ever - its got heart, genuine comedy, and plenty of tropes skewered good-naturedly. I would most certainly recommend it, especially to RPGers who've played for a number of years.

Congratulations Deuce!

Yeah, I think thats true. The adventures, also, even though smaller movers, do themselves move additional product beyond themselves as they tend to encourage, by their very nature, interest in other aspects of the game. Thus adventure a may only sell x number, but for each x, there is x+y more...

Which makes me wonder if I can officially count myself as a grognard. :hmm:

I am somewhat heartened by the age demographic. I would have thought that I was in the middle of the graph at age 42, but it seems that EN World has more younger players involved than I had thought. Though that also means that the RPG experience I take for granted as the norm is no longer the...
