I'm looking to hire a GM or two to run games in Lawrence, Kansas and possibly help develop a new game setting (modern supernatural horror). We need your help to organize a setting bible to get to the point that we can start talking to freelance writers.
The position pays $120 for you to prepare and run each 6 hour session, with $15 for each additional hour over 6. You'll also be paid $150 every time we start a new campaign. This is a 1099 contractor position, so you'll be responsible for paying your own taxes at the end of the year. If running every week, the position would bring in approximately $7000 in a year, half that for a bi- weekly game.
We provide all materials for use for the games, all books, aids, and whatever will make running easier for you. We also provide food and drinks and even have two different kinds of beers on tap at the house (right now it's Boulevard Wheat and Blue Moon's seasonal 'Honeymoon'). A couple times a month we have a private chef come and cook for the group, assuming everyone can show up a bit early for dinner.
Optimally, you'd be running a game for us once a week, preferably on Friday evenings. If necessary, we will consider hiring two different GMs to run games on alternate weeks. Typically, our campaigns last from 10-20 sessions. To start, we'd like to explore some more systems and the campaigns might be as short as 4 sessions.
Some systems we're interested in exploring right now include Scion and Spirit of the Century (or another Fate derivative). In the past, we've enjoyed Shadowrun, Star Wars, and Deadlands. We'll probably want to go back to some of those eventually, with 4E Shadowrun leading that list. We're currently playing in a 4E D&D game with a GM.
Please let me know of any skills you have that could help with developing a new game system (writing, editing, art skill, web development, printing contacts, etc).
Even if you're not available every Friday, let me know what your availability looks like. We might be able to work something out.
Please shoot me an e-mail if interested! If I don't respond, send me a PM, because that means I missed it.
