I loved the mutants needing the rotted human foods in your entry - totally nailed the moral ambiguity and I could see as a player getting that "oh crap, did we just...?" feeling when they figure it out at the end. The Grays of radiation made me say "brilliant!" out-loud when I read it too.For my adventure, on a first skim of the ingredients, Gray Area mixed with Withered Crop (the crop circle at the beginning) instantly put me in alien-mode. In my original draft, there were nearly twice as many NPCs in town and the Funhouse was much more elaborate (the Narrow Path they had to follow to pass through it without getting ground in its gears), but I had to hack away several pages to get it down to its essence. There was also more elaboration on Evil = Intentional Regrettable Action that didn't make it either.Have I mentioned I love the word limits? As hard as they are, they force me out of my "everything and the kitchen sink" default mode where I write a mini-novel and die the death of 10k too-many words.I think I've learned more about writing adventures (and a decent chunk about writing in general) than I have in all the other Iron DMs I've competed in put together.Thanks for the awesome round, Gradine and Rune for judging!</blockquote>
