Iron DM 2009 - FINAL MATCH - it's over!

Woah. That's quite a random list, Nifft.

I'm on it.

Thanks for the ingredients! Now to build...

My entry is posted.

I gotta say...when I first saw that list of ingredients, my heart sank. I had no idea how on earth I was going to get everything linked together in less than a million words. But the more I worked with them, the more I enjoyed them, and things started coming together in my head.

I hope they came together on the page, too.

Yeah, it's a great set of ingredients, since you don't normally think about what they are at first, but put together, you can tell some great stories.

[SBLOCK=In case judges are lurking about...]I really like how you used the combination of different feather tokens in your adventure. That was the part that was really giving me fits: I couldn't figure out how to get five different types of feather tokens to work in my story without it feeling forced. You really strung the feathers together in a logical way.

Ultimately, I decided to create a new kind of token and place five of them in a treasure hoard. Some might say this was innovative, but others might call it a cop-out.

I think my adventure is less useful than yours, as well. Sure, I have lots of Egyptian flavor going on, but that's not really all that useful in most boxed adventure settings. Yours is much easier to just drop in.

Oh well. I hope that what I lack in feathers and versatility, I make up for in beetles and creativity. I really tried to pull out all of the stops here, using the ingredients as they were given (use the eel, instead of just making an eel-shaped cake.)

Best of luck to you, sir! It is always a pleasure reading your work.[/SBLOCK]
