Assistance Needed With New Setting
So, do you enjoy writing? Do you have some artwork you want to see in a book? Do you have a character that you enjoy and want to see published?
What we are looking for is contributors to a new fantasy setting book. The core is fairly well developed, but we would like contributors. We are looking for a number of things.
Firstly, we want small towns and other geographic locations. Submissions should be between 1 and 5 paragraphs for each geographic location. In order to fit it within the current geography, we might need to add a few edits.
Secondly, we are looking for artwork. Black and white or color artwork is acceptable, and anything from a small corner doodle to a full page! Do you have an old image kicking around on your hard drive? Did you draw an elaborate map for a village or town for one of your campaigns, and would like to see it reused? Send it to us, and if it's accepted we'll put it in the book.
We also accept characters. If you have a favorite fantasy character of your own creation, write them up (you can also send us a character portrait), and if they're accepted, they will find their way into the section on characters (and be featured in the Personas section of our blog). Don't worry about statistics for characters, this book will be free of any game mechanics, although we plan to incorporate mechanics into our next book, a Player's Guide.
Of course, you should know a little about the setting thus far... it's a fairly standard low fantasy setting, with a touch of darkness. The various geographical regions each have their own inspirations;
Aetruvia (the South) - an ancient kingdom, inspired by the Holy Roman Empire, the shows "Spartacus", "Rome" and "The Borgias".
Ardania (the West) - inspired by the works of Tolkein, and the show "Game of Thrones"
Caraspan (the East) - inspired by France and Spain during the early Renaissance. Swashbuckling and political intrigue, skullduggery and innovation are the marks of Caraspan.
The Midlands - the Mongolian horse tribes inspired the vast plains that span the continent.
Mureska (the North) - the cold Northlands are inhabited by the barbaric Ulav (vikings and celts) and the more urban Vorska (Tzarist Russians)
What do you get out of it? Well, for those submissions that are accepted, the contributors will receive a free PDF of the product when it's finished, and I'll see what I can do about getting them a hard copy at a discount. Of course, you will also have your name listed in the book, and your work in print, which is awesome to have on a resume. Lastly, with your permission I will add contributed images to the blog (http://tales-of-andorus.blogspot.com/)
