Part of me REALLY likes the idea of being up against Monte, Bruce, Sean, or Chris or any of the other award-winning professionals who may be sending in their own little one-page proposals.

Don't worry, I can take 'em!

Ok so where can I see SHARK's world? Sounds interesting.

I'd be suprised if Ed ever got anything more than a Minimum Wage job and a chance to despised and loved by roleplayers everywhere.

I don't know how much money he got for FR, but AFAIK he has never been employed by TSR/WOTC - all his writing has been freelance. He still keeps his old job as a librarian up in the frozen north.

Take a second to think about it folks. We are now officially in the Golden Age of role-playing games.

Hopefully, the folks who come in 4th through 10th will publish their ten-page entries, and WOTC will publish the 2nd and 3rd place entries in some form. I'd love to see what people come up with. Even many of the one-page entries that don't make the first cut will likely have some great ideas...

Re: Re: Still answering

If iunderstand right

It means a technological standard/standard of cultural development.
Is Feudalism a must or is an bureacratic administration acceptable?

like the following
Antice

Mesopotomian Sumer or Babylonian/Assyrian hetites
Classical Roman Greece Carthagian
The time of the indoeuropean migrations

The dark ages after the fall of rome
Gothic Italy, francs-Gauls, britannia
East Rome
bycanz - Persian.

India in the rajput or the maharabvedian times, or the chandruguptijan times


a finnish setting maybe like the kalemvala.

Is the benning of the renaissance, the time whrer the MA ends and the time of reason develops in the range.

Once you have common use of gunpowder you're probably too far. All of the other ideas are fine. Variant political or social milleus are all fine. We are concerned about technological level not political structure.

Part of me REALLY likes the idea of being up against Monte, Bruce, Sean, or Chris or any of the other award-winning professionals who may be sending in their own little one-page proposals. It's making me take the time to thoroughly polish and prepare my proposal.

Nothing like going up against the best to make you better, or so my old wrestling coach used to say.

So, to all of you, I say good luck.

Excellent attitude. I really hope that people will be very serious about handing over tight, well written quality proposals that absolutely scream I am a professional. Cause you have to know that the industry guys will do just that.

Anthony,
A template is provided for the one-page entries. Is it preferable for the entries to be in a standard paragraph format or where the questions are present along with the answers to said questions?

Thank You,
Jesse Dean

Clarifications

Anthony,

First of all, thanks for coming into this thread and giving clarifications. I request a few of my own.

I plan on sending two submissions. Can they be sent in the same envelope (a large one, they won't be cramed and folded together) or do they have to be sent in seperate ones?

Also, please answer Tuerny's question.

 

[Mouseferatu]

Hmm. I didn't include the questions themselves in my rough, but I did keep the same format they provided. That is, the answer to question one is numbered one, the answer to two is numbered two, etc.

But now you've got me worried that I might have misinterpreted, so I'll wait for an Anthony to answer. I hope he doesn't want us to include the questions, or I'll never fit the synopsis onto one page...
