IRON DM 2025 Tournament Thread

[humble minion]

Spoiler: stuff

I'll do a proper recap later but ...

Urgh, I ran out of time and I'm sorry to submit something so rushed and half-baked. That definitely needed another few hours of work and an editing pass. Not happy with it at all, even though I think the core idea is good. Too much scene-setting, not enough action, and too many of the ingredients didn't get enough time front and centre. And worse still, I didn't even remember to LABEL Harsh Reality (the realisation on the part of the locals that the Company was going to let them rot on Gaharne forever). So I'm a big fat zero on that ingredient already. I think I can write this one off as a loss.

I HAVE to ask though - @Gradine especially. Was it INTENTIONAL that I was given Rampaging Gnomes as an ingredient, given I've had that exact same ingredient before in a previous Iron DM, that you in fact judged? IRON DM 2020 Tournament Thread

So, for those of you who are new, a quick breakdown of how judging will work from this point forward.

Each judge will be posting their judgment individually and independently. We will not be reading each other's judgements as we do so. Each judge will be able to offer one vote towards advancement. Two votes mean you're on the final round!

I'll be offering the third and final judgment, and will only read the other judgements after I have posted. I will then make a post to announce the winner.

Let the judgements commence!
