Winter Ceramic DM™: THE WINNER!

[alsih2o]

holy crapsticks batman! does this mean i am up against siala?

is there some way around this?

 

[Sialia]

GM: A large cavern opens before you. There is the sound of lapping water, but it is too dark to see where the water is.

Lillabo: Water? I’m soo there. I go in.

GM: You go in to the cavern?

Lillabo: I go in the water. Cannonball!

GM: It’s pretty dark in there. What are you using for light?

Lillabo: I can’t see in the dark?

GM: No. Halflings do not have darkvision. The professor’s candle light only goes in about 10’.

(general bickering about physics of light sources)

Lillabo: (losing patience) Whatever. I just go in.

GM: Ho-kaaay. (rolls dice.) You run in to the cavern. It’s pretty big in there, so you’ll spend this round running. Who’s next? Tarnby?

Tarnby: I follow her.

GM: Ok. What are you using for light? Do you stop to get a candle of your own? She’s disappearing in the darkness already.

Tarnby: I just follow her, ok?

GM: Ok. (rolls dice) Hmm. Make me a check, ok?

Tarnby: What kind of a check?

GM: Just roll, it. I’ll let you know what happens.

Professor: I cast my Light spell, see if I can get a look at what's going on.

GM: Okay...Mirabelle, are you looking?

Mirabelle: F--- no! I'm curling into a small ball and plugging my ears.

GM: Fine. Prof, you make a Will save against the horror that rises out of the pool. Tarnby, what'd you get on that check?

Lillabo: Hey, what about me?

GM: I'll talk to you in the other room.


....well, that's how MY games go...

 

[mythago]

is there some way around this?

Yes. Go up against somebody else in Round Two, and lose.

Speaking of which, schedule-wise we start a Round Two tomorrow morning. I know Sialia has to wait for weekends, and I'm not going to make either Cedric or Kesh write two stories at once...

That, to me, is sounding like alsih2o vs. Piratecat for the first go of Round Two tomorrow. You guys ready for it?

define ready.

i am here. and available.

ready remains to be seen. i mean, after all piratecat has nly lost to people who have judged a ceramic dm.

oh, wait....

READY!

 

[arwink]

please do! reworking stories should have it's own thread and everything, i am thinking of redoing mine when the competition is over

That'd be pretty cool, actually. I'm always dissappointed that we don't get to see some of the ceramic DM entries reworked a little after they've been posted.

i wonder if i should start a new competition- Ceramic Novella!

3 plot points a la iron dm, 3 illustrations a la this trainwreck and 3 weeks to write.

I'm not judging it. I've already got thirty-odd novellas to read over the next six months

 

[Piratecat]

Oh, good. I'm only up against the most creative man I know. I'm not nervous or anything. I can't think of anyone I'd be prouder to lose to.

Ready!

 

[alsih2o]

Oh, good. I'm only up against the most creative man I know. I'm not nervous or anything. I can't think of anyone I'd be prouder to lose to.

Ready!

oh, yes. let's compare my ability to see faces in clouds with the most read storyhour since some guy named jason took off with his pals for a long holiday.

sheesh.

 

[mythago]

I believe this is supposed to be "smack talk," not "flatter the other guy" talk

 

[Piratecat]

Yeah, yeah. Whatever. I'm easily distracted by shiny objects, and sometimes make these sorts of mistakes.

Hey, may we please have the photos tonight instead of tomorrow morning? Posting them in the morning means that I effectively lose six or so hours of noodling time, because I need to post my entry the night before anyways.

Thanks for considering it!
