In Nomine: Iron Rev Compilation!
It started at Pyramid Magazine -- a challenge was issued to three brave game designers, based on the American Iron Chef TV show. Just like in the show, they were given three "secret" ingredients, and had to cook up a stunning creation using those ingredients in only 24 hours. In this case, a short scenario.
Well, if it was good enough for Pyramid, it was good enough for the creative folks on the IN mailing list also!
Provided with three ingredients by Elizabeth McCoy, everyone was invited to write a short plot seed under the following rules:
- Word limit: no more than 1000 words (~10K file length)
- You have to make some reference to each of the three plot ingredients,
which will be provided.
- The plot seed must be runnable using only the IN main book (this is to be
a canonical competition, to keep you all honest ;) )
The challenge took place over a weekend, with the details being given out on Friday, and entries due by Monday. The ingredients to be used were:
- A pyramid.
- An unlikely insect
- a rumor of an easy redemption
And these were the results ...
