[QUOTE="Nlogue, post: 3995713, member: 41806"] Ah, this is a different Iron DM entirely than the one the OP is linking to. The OP is talking about Iron DM at Gencon, a crazy event in which DMs have only one hour to prepare an adventure based on three mystery ingredients and then they run the adventure for four to six players for four hours and compete for the coveted title of Iron DM. I run the event every year. It's insane and very very good times for all. If you are interested in doing this and learning more about it, head over to the Iron DM forums and you can post questions there, a lot of competitors from year's past post there (well, they're starting to do so again, the site went down and we just rebooted it recently). You can also read all about the contest there and check out past winner's sagas for ideas on how to best prepare. Come to win is my best advice. Bring your A game and show no fear. the other DMs and your players will smell the fear on you and tear you apart! ;) [/QUOTE]
