[OKG] WRITER OPEN CALL: - need some quick filler work?

OldKingdom

First Post
Hi there

Old Kingdom Games (www.oldkingdomgames.com) has an immediate requirement for multiple short writing assignments for the d20 Future System.

The items are fairly be short - between 500 words and 1,500 words each. We're small (micro!) presss, so pay isn't great - we pay USD $0.01 per word, and pay by PayPal. If that's too low, thanks for taking a look - feel free to move along and not threadjack ;)

The assignments break down as follows:

You have relative free reign in the details however for this series of assignment we're looking for NPC's (villains or not) suitable for use in an 'edge of space' environment. Scavangers, colonists, bounty hunters, an 'order' of mercenaries or space pirates - even an alien or two. Its up to you - they key requirement is depth of personality, not 'cool gun toting merc # 54' (unless you can convince me said merc is interesting, bizarre or unusual in some way).

The assignments come in two kinds:

Short: Single NPC using d20 Future rules, detailed description including stat black.
Long: Single NPC / Monster with Character Class entry to support it or Prestige Classs entry and/or equipment entry (up to you within word count).

Each assignment requires full stat blocks but the background / personality information should be the lions share of what you submit (60/40 or 70 / 30 is preferred).

Interested writers should contact chris AT oldkingdomgames.com with a very brief overview of the piece (single line description is fine), a quick list of credits (if any) and a timescale for completion if accepted. Payment will be upon submission and acceptance of your piece.

Art is already being handled elsewhere.

Please be sure to include the items asked for in the email, or we will be unable to respond to you.

Thanks again - we look forward to hearing from you.

Do you have an age requirement for contributors? If I contributed, it would be no problem; I have a 17-year-old son who may be interested in contributing as well. Do you have a cut-off of 18?

Hi Dave.

Thanks for your interest. We have to have financial arrangements with people aged 18+, so yes, there is a cut off :)
 

Is there a specific feel that you are looking for in the characters. Are the NPC's part of a space opera or is this hard Sci-Fi? Just wondering.

Regards,
Walt

Hi Kroh.

We're looking open to ideas although we have a preference for hard sci-fi on this occasion.
