[IRON DM] Ever Use An IRON DM Entry in Your Campaign?

[el-remmen]

So I have been working (not so diligently) on the IRON DM Archive Site and I thought it might be cool to include notes or versions of entries that others have used either partially or in whole in their own games (or as a one-shot).

So, has anyone here done such a thing, either written by someone else or one they wrote themselves?

If so, which one was it? Who wrote it? How did it go? How did you change it?

If I get a handful of accounts I will add a page to the site about them.

I modified the entry Echo of Snow by PirateCat. Mostly beefed up the CR, threw in some twists (like having a living student as the sacrifice to create the worm), and combined two WotC web enhancement modules into side adventures.

As for how it went: great! I'm not too good at stories, though. Basically, the PCs managed to stop the worm from coming into existence, and killed Thorstod (he came back later as a half-fiend ghost who'd sold his soul for vengeance; and Gaures and Viggo have been arguing for some time about whether he can be saved or not).

Unfortunately, most of my players have read all of my entries, so I haven't been able to use mine. In fact, my players are so merciless, that, when, in a very recent adventure, they came across a flooded area (not even a quarry), one of them immediately quipped, "Is there a sea hag nearby? One named Anais?"

I tell ya, I get no respect.

I have, though, used background elements from some of the adventures in my campaigns. For example, the the most recent tournament, I wrote an adventure called the Siege of Castle Yume (which lost to Nemm, incidentally) in which I fleshed out an oriental flavored spirit world. I'm now running an oriental flavored campaign, and have decided to adopt many of the features into my campaign's cosmology.

You got the old URL for the IRON DM Site.

I went to the archive to reminisce about the judgement you passed on me vs carpedavid, and discovered a broken link...

You've linked me and CD's match on the DaveTurner/Zenld match and vice versa.

I've been wanting to create a page where you can look through entries by competitor and/or the name of the entry.

It would be a great help if you could put together that list with the link of where it could be found - maybe on an excel file if at all possible.

Email me and we'll "talk" about it. . . I have other ideas - but I don't know how much work you are willing to put in and what your HTML skill are like.

Oh, and thanks!

No one else in all these years? Not even the crumb of an idea stolen. . erm, borrowed. . . and used?
