First Post
Etherworld is looking for a dedicated, hardworking, experienced person to help produce our first product the <b>Unearth Player's Guide</b>. Interested candidates please read this carefully.
Please send me the following information via email only:
send to joey@etherworld.com with the subject "Unearth Line Producer"
1. Full Name and contact info including phone number
2. Samples of writing you've done for published D20 products. Please provide at least three or more different examples: a prestige class, alternate race or class, spells or similar. Sorry, but due to the nature of this project I will not accept applications from non-published individuals.
3. A complete resume with references and your base pay rate (if applicable)
4. List of all the game projects you worked on along with the role you played in each. May include non-D20 games.
I will not be able to contact everyone about this and will not contact the selected individual immediately so please be patient. I will call a few selected individuals for phone interviews so please be sure to include a phone number and best times to call. This is a contract job that will pay a lump sum to be determined based on experience. Full details of required responsibilities may include some or all of the following:
* development of production schedules, content outlines, and other administrative tasks
* locating and negotiating art and writing to freelancers as needed
* writing and development of new d20 game mechanics and rules
* copy, content, and rules editing
* book layout
* marketing copy and collateral
* setting up relationships with distributors and retailers
* working with magazines (traditional and web) to place ads, etc.
* making sure the project is on schedule
Qualified candidates should possess all of the following skills:
* quality writing and editing skills
* good sense of best business practices
* book layout and design (Ability to use Adobe InDesign CS)
* excellent business manners
* must have your own computer (Macintosh preferred but not required)
* self motivated, creative, enthusiastic, optimistic and happy
A plus but not a must:
* Graphic design experience
* Ability to use Photoshop and Illustrator
* Web design and layout experience (hand-coded HTML, PHP and MySQL) No WYSIWYG editors!
This list is subject to change.
A little background on Unearth:
"The world of Unearth is an upcoming campaign world for the popular d20 System set in a bleak, post-fantasy world. Explore ancient ruins, lost cities, sacred temples. Discover relics of the ancients, foul tomes of the Everliving and riches beyond compare! Encounter strange beasts, fanatic cults, daemons, freakish mutants, Hollow Men and the terrible war machines of Mechacritus, the Grand Imperator. Do you have what it takes to survive the haunted realms of the dark future?"
This project was under development two years ago and was shelved due to various reasons. Some writing has been done on this project already. More writing needs to be done and there's a need for some major updates to 3.5 and editing. Some art is complete. Rob Baxter and Lee Hammock helped with this in the past and you may be required to work with one or both of them.
I require you to be highly motivated and a self-starter. You should be able to kick yourself in the pants to meet deadlines as you won't want me doing that for you.
I will require weekly status reports as well as a complete schedule and roadmap of how you're going to take what I give you (a bunch of ideas, writings and notes) and make it a reality.
If I do not find the ideal candidate within the next two weeks this will be reposted and remain open until I find the right person for the job. Thanks for reading.
Note: My website is all out of whack and is being redesigned so this is the only info you'll find for now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
