[QUOTE="Turanil, post: 3734759, member: 9646"] Well, Lately I have compiled my various notes (some of them well detailed and complete, others just ideas and wiki copypasted texts) for my campaign setting. However, I see that I really won't have the time to write it down. I still want to do it, especially as I will do a nice layout with lots of old-school illustrations by me, and copyleft art from the medieval age. So, I have just thought that maybe I could pay someone to do the job? What do you think, anyone knows how much it would cost? anyone could be interested in doing it? Here is my setting: -- Although it would be for C&C, the setting book would be devoid of actual game mechanics, so could be used with other games. -- Setting has an old-school flavor. -- It's called "Carolingian Shadows." It's an alternate plane in a Moorcock-inspired multiverse. Real Earth is dominated by Law, but one of its reflections (the setting) is "corrupted" by Chaos. It's a world superficially similar to Europe through dark-ages to late middle-ages in which legends are true. The world is Carolingian, but with a tech level of XVth century and many historical features from IXth to XVth century. And of course magic, gates, demons, etc. -- Otherwise the world takes inspirations from Three Hearts and Three Lions (by Poul Anderson), The Warhound and the World's Pain (by M. Moorcock), and bits of the Elenium (by David Edding). If I find someone interested in this endeavour, it would not begun before october though. RL work speaking, I have met two possibly important clients (I am a graphic designer), but no contract has been signed yet. However, if it is done, I won't have anymore time for rpg writing, but money for someone else to do it. Note that the writer needs not be a professional one, only needs to write well. The resulting setting would be released as a free PDF and possible purchased print-on-demand book, but I do not expect to ever sell more than 100 of the POD version (in my best optimism). I rather do it for my own satisfaction, not for money. [/QUOTE]
