The ideal author has previous, for-pay experience in the tabletop RPG field, is familiar with <a href="http://enworld.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=21602&" target="_blank">Advanced Quick20</a> and will present a setting with the following attributes:* The setting will feature new rules content consistent with AQ20's design aesthetic.* The setting will feature supernatural elements, at least some of which are powers accessible to starting characters. These will have a compelling narrative justification.* The setting will feature new Templates.* The setting is set in the modern day (or a stylistic equivalent) and supports and *justifies* near-fantastic elements of the modern action genre.* The setting will have interesting, developed antagonists and a default story/adventure type.* The setting will utilize the following elements of the AQ20 rules set:1) The Way, with setting-specific guidelines.2) Magic, with rules specifically tailored for the setting.2) Heroic Action, including Heroic Movement and Bannermen.I am NOT looking for the following:* Traditional fantasy, even modernized (elves, etc.)* Traditional dark fantasy/horror creatures such as vampires and werewolves (but the dark fantasy and horror genres are welcome).* Direct homage to a particular genre such as pulp or Hong Kong action cinema (but indirect allusions and influence are welcome).* Offers to work for free or at a reduced rate to undercut other applicants. These tactics indicate to me how little you value your own creative output.Payment will be CAN$0.03 per word based on a draft of 10,000 words (minimum -- you can go over, but this won't earn you more money). This will be a challenging assignment, aiming at clear but densely informative text that inspires play and campaign planning.I will assess proposals based on summaries of up to 300 words and RPG writing experience. Send them as *inline* text (not as an attachment) in an email with the subject heading: Mob United Media: Advanced Quick20 Setting Proposal. Email them to m@mobunited.com . Submissions do not create any relationship or obligation between Mob United Media and the submitter. Only those considered for contract will be contacted.</blockquote>
