I really like the idea that "I already have a book of stats, why is the writer giving me more goblin stats?" And even though I run D&D quite a bit right now, even the basest of stats will be adjusted to reflect the realities of play -- weak monsters in a dangerous area will be replaced by more deadly ones, for instance. I look for interesting ideas, good maps, and clever traps.<br /><br />Thanks for your insights into judging!The Malumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971459955701026406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-74188995670964561152014-08-28T12:55:19.872-04:002014-08-28T12:55:19.872-04:00That's cool. :-)That's cool. :-)Deltahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705402326320853684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-28529307614081094182014-08-27T13:41:33.224-04:002014-08-27T13:41:33.224-04:00I would have thought it had to be 4e, and had none...I would have thought it had to be 4e, and had none of those books. So I probably wouldn't have bothered. It was the idea that I could "fake it" that made me enter. Fortunately, it was through the course of the contest itself that I learned about all the old-school stuff going on.<br />The funny part was that I won for "Best New School". :)The Iron Goathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15839364742884404019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-16951263306942937392014-08-27T13:13:59.383-04:002014-08-27T13:13:59.383-04:00Thanks for considering it! :-)Thanks for considering it! :-)Deltahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705402326320853684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-72858317472172276432014-08-27T13:13:39.440-04:002014-08-27T13:13:39.440-04:00Hmm, interesting.

Would it have made a difference if they'd said "include no more than MV/HD/AC" at the time?Deltahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705402326320853684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-27554519809766163542014-08-25T14:45:25.165-04:002014-08-25T14:45:25.165-04:00Very interesting analysis.
