[BDG] ONE WEEK LEFT - d20 Modern Aliens - Open Call for Writers

Blue Devil Games is gearing up for a new book, and we need some alien critters to round it out.

We want:

1) Alien creatures. Any ecosystem role or creature type is acceptable, i.e., predators, cute'n'fuzzy critters, sentient races, etc. Anything goes. (This is for a "serious" game product, however, so no humorous entries please.)

2) Creatures to be written up using d20 Modern SRD rules. Note the "SRD" part. That's important.

3) Creature write-ups to be in the same format as the "Friends and Foes" section of d20 Modern.

4) NO PREVIOUSLY RELEASED OPEN CONTENT! Must be originals.

5) Submissions should be made in .RTF, .TXT, or MS Word document format. Multiple submissions can be made as part of a single document. Include your name as you want it to appear in the credit line, your e-mail address, and the physical address you want your payment sent to.

6) E-mail your submissions to justin[at]bluedevilgames[dot]com

7) Put "Alien Open Call" in the subject line of your e-mail and at the beginning of the document submitted.

8) Submissions are due no later than July 31, 2004.

9) All submissions used become the property of Blue Devil Games.

In exchange, we will:

1) Pay $5 per critter, flat fee. We pay once we decide which critters we are using. We will NOT wait for publication.

2) Send you a free copy of any pdf product in which your submission appears.

3) Give you a credit line in any product in which your submission appears.

Thanks, in advance for your interest, and good luck.

Is there a general guideline for word count? I know you have a flat fee but are you looking for half page or full page monster entries?

Thanks
 

Short answer: No.

Long answer: As long as is necessary to describe the alien. I certainly don't need pages and pages of material on their mating and eating habits (unless it's central to the theme of the alien). But a skeletally described entry with "holes" in its description is not likely to be accepted.
 

Just a reminder that submissions are due by July 31st. (Although I will be out of town until August 2nd, so you have a de facto two-day extension.)

I can now spill the beans that the open call is for our upcoming hard science, sci-fi setting, Dawning Star. The official announcement is on this thread.

We will have some major announcements coming shortly concerning our technical advisor and art director. In the meantime, I can report that the print publication will, indeed, be in full-color, so we're expecting a top-notch product and want you to be a part of it.

I can't wait to see what you guys come up with.

The FUTURE of d20 is NOW.(tm)
 

Heh, I'm trying to finish up my 3 entries. The "extension" will help since summer is usually difficult to sit down for very long. :D
