Hello,

    Are you an aspiring game designer or writer? Want a chance to show the community your style and creativity? How about an opportunity to get author credit when it gets     published? Well here is just such an opportunity! 

    As many of you may know, I won the Living MACE world design competition a couple years ago. It has been a one man labor of love project and I would love to see the community embrace it and help it grow. As such I have several adventure path plot lines I would love to see fleshed out and taken in creative directions. The best RPG worlds are made up of many creative voices guided by a shared global vision. If you are interested in contributing to the Living MACE Emberbright world setting and getting full credit when we publish, then the details are below. 

    What I am looking for is a commitment to write 6 or more adventures designed around a central plot given by me, and written to be played in a standard 4-hour con time slot. I would like 1 or 2 adventures for each of these plot lines ready by MACE this November. You can write it for either 5th Ed D&D, Pathfinder, or Savage Worlds (Fantasy). You can start it at the level of your choosing but I would prefer starting between levels 1-5 or the Savage Worlds equivalent (I apologize my knowledge of Savage Worlds is woefully lacking). If you want to have a higher level adventure path we can discuss it. You will also get to flex your game design skills as you will be coming up with race specific feats thematically appropriate to the world, racial spells, and weapons if appropriate. 

    The available settings/themes are as follows:

    Warforged - They are freshly awoken and starting to form their national identity but first they must secure resources. This need puts them in direct opposition with their neighbors who do not trust outsiders.. especially ones that look like machines.

    Elves - The noble houses are buzzing with gossip and heated debate as the revelation that the gods have returned. Further more, silence from the throne on this issue breeds dissent as the machinations and power plays begin to take advantage of the queens seeming hesitation.

    High Dwarves - It has been a several generations since your kin lost the mountain. However, recent quakes have left fissures which revealed old tunnels and structures. The Guild of Elders is putting together a team to see where they lead. Dungeon delving at it's finest.

    Igni - Times are great for those with ideas. It is a renaissance for steam tech and experimental gadgets. Though rumors flutter about of a dark project and fleeting sightings of robed figures. What could this portend?

   Humans - The barbarians from the frozen north have been quiet since their last push. Scouts have been returning with strange reports of ghost camps and scenes of mass carnage. What or who is attacking the invaders and could they be an ally or a bigger threat?

    If any of these plot threads intrigues you let me know. They will be assigned on a first come first serve basis. Please email me with any questions at the address below.

Thanks and have a Blessed day,

Matt Holmquist
