    Jake Sisko shooting up like two feet in the span of a season and a half was certainly a thing!

    It's important to point out that the guy who wrote most of the catchiest American pop music of the 90's and early 00's was a Swedish dude with a very tenuous grip on the English language.

    IRON DM 2025 Tournament Thread

    Some Tips From a Two-Time IRON DM: Generally speaking, judging in Iron DM is a deeply personal and subjective experience. No two judges are going to have the exact same reaction to a particular entry (which is why most of our panel contests end up being judged 2-1). That said, there are some...

    Great! That leaves us with three open alternate spots. Things do come up, so if anyone missed the chance to sign up, signing up as an alternate will go a long way towards making sure our tournament flows well!

    Yeah, basically he used it as a research tool. Which... seems fine to me? Like... what you'd want it to be used for, rather than generating creative content itself?

    Alright, we're full up! We'll still leave it open for folks who might want to sign up as alternates; we'll need a few just in case until we get to the end of the first round. I'll work on getting the actual competition thread up and running. In the meantime, I'll start us scheduling for our...

    It sounds like he was using ChatGPT as a sounding board for punching up some of the lyrics?

Catastrophic climate impact notwithstanding, that's...

    As mentioned by others, the "DM" is an artifact of the origins of the competition; we welcome adventures of all systems, including systemless adventures! Very few of my own submissions were from D&D, so there's no worries about stat blocks!

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    From Discipline & Punish & Dungeons & Dragons: "Next we come to the panopticon, the ideal shape and structure of the prison. Also, interestingly enough, most schools. And also most dungeon complexes, particularly those managed by wizards and beholders"
