Each regional director has final say over who writes their adventures, so if you are interested in writing for a region, contact that region's POC or Writing Director.

This call, however, is for writers interested in writing non-regional adventures. For this first call, I am specifically looking for people who have previously written for RPGA campaigns, specifically one of the following:

--Core or Core Special events for the Living Greyhawk campaign
--Adventures for the Legacy of the Green Regent campaign
--Adventures for Mark of Heroes (not including DM's Marks)
--Adventures for Xen'drik Expeditions (not including DM's Marks)

If you are interested, send the following information to shawn.merwin@gmail.com:

--A cover letter describing your previous writing experiences, and mentioning a reference who can talk about your writing.
--A sample of your previous work. The sample should include at least one encounter, including stat blocks.

If your credentials check out, you will then be sent the outline for a 4e encounter or two, which you will complete and return to me. Please only apply if you are serious about writing and can hit deadlines consistently.

For those who are interested in writing but do not meet the current criteria, fear not! I will be putting out another call in a couple months, after the first batch of 4e adventures have been released.

Also note that this call is just for the adventures that I am personally responsible for. The regional writing directors and other global administrators may put out their own calls (or not).

Thanks,

To save myself from having to type this more than once:

Just because I am only looking for authors right now with experience writing the adventures from the campaigns and of the types listed in my OP does not mean I think any writer is superior or inferior to any other based just on those criteria. There were regional LG adventures, LC adventures, 2e/3e Classic adventures, Living Kalamar/Arcanis/Death/Jungle adventures, ad infinitum that were just as good as some adventures listed above.

I just needed to create an artificial cutoff to limit the number of applicants at this time, and that is what I chose. No insults should be read into that choice.

As I said, shortly after GenCon I will be putting out another call, and everyone is welcome to throw their proverbial hat into the ring at that time. I will be looking for the best possible writers for the campaign, regardless of previous experience.

Thanks,

Shawn

Shawn,

No he didn't.

Unfortunately, you have failed the first LFR Writer's test. Shawn composed the second message in 'idiot-proof' text, giving detailed instructions on the applications. It clearly says at the end;

"Anyone who can read this is welcome to apply, the rest will think I've double-posted." :D

I would prefer not to release them to the public.

I don't think it is too much to ask for a person possibly interested to write a cover letter and attaching a sample of previous work in order to get them. If taking the time to write 500 words and attach a file to an email is "all that trouble," I'm not sure that's a person who should be writing an adventure. :-)

ugly rumours that have been making the rounds

Like authors having to use Dungeon Tiles to set up all their encounters? :D
