Iron DM 2010 Discussion Thread

I will step into the breach and compete.
I'm not River Tam, but I once had a beer with one of the extra Marauders.
This is my only claim to nerd fame, and I would dearly like another.

Just dropping by to let the judges know that barring a power outage, tornado or some other mayhem, I'll be ready anytime tomorrow.

I think it was the deliberate randomness of the ingredients. And the very specific nature of the ingredients, too...each ingredient had a descriptor that made it even more random: a sinkhole is tough...an urban one is even tougher.

Bah, an Urban Sinkhole is easier to use than an Aerial Swamp.

Besides, I was inspired by this:

How can you not use that?

Awesome...welcome to the competition! You are scheduled for Sunday's match, competing against Allenchan. (And in all honesty: I am so very glad to see someone step forward. I was worried that I was going to have to back up all of that smack I was talking. )

That's pretty cool about the extra Marauder. Was he in costume? I browsed old D&D books with Wil Wheaton at Powell's, which is probably the geekiest and most awesome thing I've done this year.

You nerd.

If loving Firefly/Serenity is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Woah. I heard about the sinkhole, but the article I read didn't have the pictures with it. You are absolutely right...that picture is begging to be used in an Iron DM round.

I wouldn't have typed it out, though. I would have just posted a link to the picture in the list of ingredients, like this:

Ingredients:
Pulchritudinous Waif
Helicopter Seeds
Historical Doppleganger
Self-Destructive Spiral
Out-of-tune Cello

The competition is young, my friend. The competition is young.

I've just posted my judgement for round 4.

Thanks for the critique, RG, and good luck Matt on further rounds. One of these days, I will get past the preliminaries haha.

I'm good to go at 9.
