[QUOTE="DA Press, post: 5115966, member: 88605"] Hopefully I've got the right forum. This does not feel like a marketplace request. If not, then Mods please point me in the right direction. [FONT=Verdana]I bet there are a few of you out there, like me, who would love to move into a RPG writing / illustrating / cartographing (!) career but are finding it difficult to showcase your talents. With that in mind I would like to get a group together to write a document with the aim of publishing it. Those involved can then add it to their CV / resume in a professional capacity.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]The project would be similar to the group adventures already developed here but setting it up more like a real world project with a writer (per chapter?), illustrator, monster/mechanics developer, etc. depending on the document we finally decide to create.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]My leanings are toward 4E (largest market, but crappy licensing) however the group may decide something more generic or radical is worth pursuing.
