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

[Kid Charlemagne]

Well, I took some of the info that I developed for a couple of my entries in one Iron DM tourney and worked them into my current campaign, but that hardly counts. I've noted a couple of entries and have them "in my hip pocket" so to speak, ready to use if the right situation presents itself. Echo of Snow is one, and Wulf had an entry that I might use sometime, about a tower that sucks the life out of its inhabitants and environs.

It would be neat if one could go to the Iron DM site and see adventures listed by title and levels - that way someone could more easily search for the kind of scenario they might need.

EDIT: I see you're already working on that! Good...!

Another idea just occured to me - what do you think of taking some of the best scenarios (with author's permission, of course) and compiling them into a PDF or print book? One of my favorite books from the old 1st/2nd edition days was the Book of Liars, which included several dozen short adventures. The entries would need to be worked on a little to make them suitable for publication (adding stat blocks, etc) but it could be a really neat product.

Actually, that is kind of different from what we had talked about - but it seems like a really good idea.

I'll start putting together a list of entries to do that with so we can contact the authors.

And perhaps we can include a more truncated version of the other sections we talked about.

I have never used an entry directly, but I've stolen bits and pieces from IronDM entries occasionally. I recall the wonderful idea of a dryad connected to a ship's mast which used to be her tree... was it Wicht's idea? It was a long time ago, but I've yoinked it.

The list of entries by name and by contestant have been added to the IRON DM Archive site: http://www.aquerra.com/IRON_DM/by_entry.htm

Special thanks to CarpeDavid, you know, since he did most of the work.

I'll state for the record right now that you can use any of mine if you want. Not assuming you will, but clearing you if you do.

Thanks,
