[QUOTE="BrooklynKnight, post: 1327448, member: 4490"] At a glance it looks as if everyone is giving advice on writing your own complete book. If you want to get your foot in the door of the RPG Industry, check out the Industry Forums where Companies place Open Calls for Writers, and Playtesters and Editors. Write,Write,Write. Submit Submit Submit. One open call recently ended, for Realms Of Evil Games. I'm collecting submissions for En Publishings Bride Of Portable Hole (not the most serious of books, but something none the less.), just follow the link in my Sig. When writing rules it helps to have a good understanding of existing rules and balances, which is where playtesting comes in. Not only should your own work be playtested, but you become a better writer, at least IMO, by playtesting other peoples work. Bastion Press and one other company I think have posts looking for Playtesters in the forum. Another company is looking for adventure/encounter submissions. Start slow, work your way up. And you can continuously work on your own book in peices. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
