Update: This open call has now closed, all applicant ill be contacted with the outcome shortly. Thank you for your high levels of interest 
---------------------
At Old Kingdom Games we are pleased to be able to invite writers (no artists at this time please) to express their interest in a paid assignment to complete approximately 20,000 words for our first book in our upcoming Campaign Gems series of supplements for the d20 system.
This is a small press publication for PDF release. Payment terms are OKG’s standard 50% before starting work but and 50% upon completion of contract. The work will be published after this. Rates are available upon completion of a confidentiality agreement. This is not a royalty arrangement, however please be aware that this is a small press, PDF release and small press rates will apply. We are a new company however financial references for previously paid freelancers are available.
This project has a setting / theme outlined. The setting is near future earth, there are shades of horror, and characters are on the run in our world from a malevolent intelligence that has enslaved them in the past. A more detailed overview is available after NDA and contract assignment. You’ll be expected to take this overview and make it your own.
Due to the nature of the book, the entire work is to be offered to a single freelancer with ideal (although no set in stone) completion of writing to be by the end of July / beginning of August to allow for a end of Q3 / beginning of Q4 release. There is some movement in this, but not a great deal.
You will:
- ideally have knowledge of the d20 system / license
- be able to take an idea and expand upon it considerably
- be expected to provide descriptive text but no game mechanics. Mechanics are done in house
- be expected to deliver the setting, character class descriptions, technology descriptions, games master background information, NPC/Antagonist descriptions and adventure ideas
- be comfortable writing for a near modern, near future setting (think Minority Report movie levels of tech to some degree)
- be able to work a hint of dread, desperation and horror into your writing
- feel comfortable in coming up with your own ideas
- be prepared to take payment by paypal or moneybookers (makes life easier all round)
To submit your interest please:
- send and email to chris AT oldkingdomgames DOT com (away with you spam!) confirming your interest
- include an example of previous work you think we will find relevant (keep this to one page or less please)
- list previous writing credits in full (if you've already been published)
- expect to be required to sign a confidentiality agreement by return
- expect to be required to sign a contract
- expect responses from me during this open call once daily (in case of high volume)
Many thanks in advance, I look forward to working with one of you
