I was nervous going up against you from the start, and the 2000 word limit really went against my naturally wordy nature. I had to cut a whole subplot with the Andreas family being descendants of Hhutteyo and Madralupe's lovechild, and as time closed in and I finally got the word count down, I felt it was better to just submit than overwork The Proposal any more than it had been.I really appreciate the constructive critique, Rune. I should have seen those connections with ideal location, love and the mountain, and used that to strengthen my riddle.I think the two really important things I learned from this round were to analyze the ingredients from more angles if I want the best out of them, and to make sure the PCs are involved with each of them. Too much in the background is the recipe for doom, and I know the judges will not forgive it in the future.On a positive note, I used the new D&D format for my adventure, and Events are really conducive to non-linear (or less linear) adventuring. I was also inspired by 'Going Ape' to break with traditional Western European background and indulge in a little Mayincatec. When it comes down to it, though, I know I won by the skin of my teeth. I will certainly take everything gleaned from this match into the next round. Again, great match steeldragons, and onward to round two!</blockquote>
