[QUOTE="Pentius, post: 5627098, member: 6676736"] Well, kudos to you, Waylander. I really liked your adventure, it's one I can feel good about losing to. I think what hurt my adventure the most was that while I had some good ideas for the aboleth's lair portion, when I sat down to write it I realized I wasn't going to be able to describe it very well. I wasn't sure if we were allowed to use maps, and didn't even end up checking because I'm not good at making maps on computers anyway(and I don't have a scanner). So, I ended up redoing a lot of the lair into a simpler form I could easily express, but it ended up feeling really artificial and forced. Worst of all, it took up time that I could have been using to flesh out that portion of the adventure. I'm also a little miffed because at one point I was hoping to use the crystal axeblade as part of a puzzle to reveal the location of the watchtower, as an homage to Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, but I ended up swapping it out for the Magic Map ritual that, while having a similar effect, wasn't as cool.
