Lords of Gossamer and Shadow, published in 2010 by Rite Publishing, uses the Diceless system but in a setting removed from Zelazny's Amber.

Pathfinder (too easy, also debatable - not whether it's good, but if it's not actually Dungeons and Dragons)... So let's do other systems... One Ring (excellent LotR) Rune Quest (d100 based system same as Call of Cthulhu) Mousegard (talking mice makes it Fantasy) Call of Cthulhu (for modern...

Makes me a little curious as to who approached who with the idea? Is there someone on the Team that works for Wizards (seems unlikely)? Is someone at Wizards a fan of the team? Is the team big into Magic?

Always a helpful bit of advice. :) I did notice the potential for a few of this round's ingredients to... be a bit suggestive. :unsure:

Jim: Already the crowds are beginning to gather, eager anticipation on their faces for another exciting day of Iron DM. The energy is palpable. As we wait we cannot help but ask ourselves questions... Bob: Have you seen my sandwich Jim? Jim: What kind of ingredients will we see today? Bob...

Movies, new games, companies crashing due to the bad behavior of their founders... That's all well and good, yet I feel like the biggest news of the week somehow got missed... The 2021 Iron DM Tournament is underway! Iron DM has been a staple of these boards for longer than these boards have...

LOL. (literally) I don't think that I have ever seen a round where two out of the three judges are so conflicted. RG votes for El-remmen's entry but voices a desire to be in the minority. Rune votes for mine but also voices a desire to be in the minority. I am glad the contest was that close...

Smashing is done. :cool: I shall let it percolate a little bit longer before turning it in today. Just in case.

The day begins with a rewrite. Those words need to fit together a bit tighter. I got to the word limit and hadn't even finished adding in all the ingredients. I suspect I have a 2000 word idea that needs smashed into a 1500 word bottle.

:unsure: An obvious ploy to make me overconfident and throw me off my game. I'm on to you.

Those ingredients are deceptively simple. Kudos.

As he waited, he recited the old Iron DM mantra he had been taught. "I must not anticipate. Anticipation is the ingredient killer. Anticipation is the stifling death that hinders the creative process. I will accept the ingredients only as they are given. I will permit the ingredients to flow...

I bought the Dungeons and Dragons Basic Box set in a pharmacy (might have been a gas station) with birthday money. I had been introduced to the concept at a friend's house and had been making up my own rules at home up to that point. That would have been the spring of '82 and I was 9.

This is sometimes true but not universally true. As with Dungeon magazines offerings of old, there is no reason a scenario must be a one shot. My first round scenario this go assumed a broader campaign. One year I linked my entries in all three rounds to one another. Entries come in all shapes...
