D&D 4E Fantasy Flight looking for RPG Writer-Developer - 4e

I could spend hours talking up the Twin Cities area. But I won't. Suffice to say that Minneapolis spends year after year swapping the title of "Most Literate City in America" with Seattle, the Source - the greatest FLGS anywhere - is in Falcon Heights, just north of St. Paul, the area has the highest number of museums and theatres per capita of anywhere in North America outside of New York City, and there's as many really good local ice cream parlors as there are neighborhoods (if you come here, you must go to Sebastian Joe's, on Hennepin and 22nd St. in Minneapolis, and try their signature flavor, Pavarotti).

I always thought their signature was raspberry chocolate chip. *shrug*

The Twin Cities is also the home of Atlas Games. For those aspiring contractors looking for more gigs, surely having another big name in the industry in the same town helps the search. Heck, the publisher of Atlas Games (John Nephew) is running for city council in one of the suburbs here! The Twin Cities aren't very far from the game companies in Wisconsin either if there ever was a need to meet for a gig there.

The Source is awesome. I met Monte Cook there, who was flown in on a past World Wide D&D day. As was Dave Arneson. Margaret Weis has come to sign books many times in the past. Laurel K. Hamilton did too (fwiw *ahem*).

Yeah, I could talk about the Twin Cities as well.

True, but asking them to own Adobe Acrobat (a full, licensed version, we are to presume) albeit in a subtle way, seems a bit tricky.

Er, I don't own a full licensed version of Adobe Acrobat and I can easily make PDF files. There are a number of very inexpensive PDF software programs for under $40 available out there. You might even be able to do it straight from MS Word if you download the right file from Microsoft.

CutePDF makes PDFs for free as well. Still, to me requesting Resumes in a PDF sounds atypical.

Google Documents pretty much automatically translates your documents into .pdfs.



Yeah, teacher pay and teacher appreciation aren't so much my issue with the profession as teacher working conditions.

Five or six classes a day with a little under 35 students a class is a monstrous burden for any education professional worth their salt.

It's certainly a safer bet than college work in terms of employability, and probably a better service to the country besides, but, man, what they ask of you is crazy.

Not too mention the 'No Child Left Behind' craziness.

3000 words a day sounds like an easy gig by comparison, that's what 10 or 11 pages double-spaced?

Oh yeah, back off topic for a sec, Whizbang, did you used to post on Graffe's back in the day?

Still do.

Or free - Openoffice is an open office suite that outputs to pdf with the click of a button.
