IRON DM 2025 Round 1, Match 3: Onelung vs GMMichael @Onelung and @GMMichael, 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. Please include your list of ingredients at the beginning of the entry...

Alright! Look for your ingredients in about an hour and a half!

Ok. @Onelung and @GMMichael Please confirm a start for about 5 hours from this post’s timestamp.

@Whizbang Dustyboots @AustinHolm @GMMichael Are any of you willing to take on @Onelung this evening? Failing that, will anyone take on AustinHolm tomorrow? We really need to get the next match going.

As contentious as this tournament has sometimes gotten in the past, I think I’d rather not judge one that offered material awards. IRON DM is hard. Because of that, a loss can sometimes really sting, even when pride and a title are the only awards at stake.

Welcome back to the IRON DM of Winter 2004!

It’s already Sunday!

Okay, let’s try again. @Whizbang Dustyboots @Onelung @AustinHolm @GMMichael If any of you are ready to begin match 3, please post a window of start times during which you will be able to begin. Please include your time zone.

Alas, it would be very difficult (impossable?) to secure permission from all authors – especially for the earlier tournaments.

Perhaps an addendum is in order. If any of you are good to go with a Saturday or Sunday start, please post a window of availability for start time. Including your time zone, of course.

@Whizbang Dustyboots @Onelung @AustinHolm @GMMichael Are any of you prepared for a Saturday start? Depending on my real-life obligations, your ingredients may need to be posted by @Gradine or @FitzTheRuke, so don’t let that confuse you.

Now that @Gradine has rendered judgement, @Fenris-77, I really dug the vibe of your entry. And your descriptive headings struck me as a good bit of formatting that would make scanning the entry for information in the middle of a game pretty easy. Now, to defend myself since Gradine...

I guess no one there read the Hobbit?

Or, you could roleplay them as always coming up with overcomplicated schemes that never work because they inevitably miss some important and obvious detail.

Ideally, Monday would be the last Round 1 match, but we’ll see how it goes.

I think the answer is pretty obvious: Cha (Investigation) would represent your character’s attempt to convince the secret doors to reveal themselves.
