Submission Guidelines

We occasionally accept or invite submissions for our various RPG lines. Whether or not we can currently do so is indicated below. Before submitting anything, read this page and our guidelines and disclosure agreement. At the bottom of this page are the current Open Calls.

We can accept material from writers with any level of experience, providing it is nicely structured, readable and matches our style and needs. We can also accept unsolicited submissions, but please make sure you include a summary of your idea and that you contact us beforehand if what you are submitting is over 5,000 words.

Status: We are currently Accepting submissions.

If you are submitting material for our lines, please make sure you are familiar with our products and approach. Please also make sure that you have the relevant gaming experience - our products are written by experienced Games Masters for all levels of Games Masters and Players, so experience running the system is vital. Our rates are variable, depending on both your writing experience and, frankly, the expected income from the product. We generally purchase exclusive gaming-related rights and pay within 30 days of publication BUT also try to ensure there is a reversion clause so that if we do not publish your material within a reasonable period of time, rights revert to the author.

Submission Guidelines

Before submitting please read our Submission Guidelines (820K, with graphics). Please also download, print, sign, scan and return our Confidential Disclosure Agreement (40K), without which we cannot even open your submission. These are in PDF format, so you'll need the Adobe Acrobat Reader if you have not got it already.

Important Note: We cannot accept submissions without a signed disclosure agreement. Any writer who submits material to us or who makes suggestions must be aware that similar ideas are popping up all over the industry, all the time. We have loads already! Be reassured that we do not 'steal' ideas, but must protect ourselves against those who might think otherwise or who are overly protective of ideas they believe are theirs.

Current Open Calls

Our Open Call descriptions may contain spoilers, so if you have not played the scenarios yet, beware! If answering an Open Call, please indicate which one your submission addresses.

Series	Current Submissions Outline
Exploratores	We are currently looking for short scenarios for Exiles in the Lost Isles for the RuneQuest Singleton Scenarios. These should be based on the Wyvern Isles, on Black Guardian Island or in the areas around Darkhaven and can assume that the Exiles(s) are currently independent, in the service of the Stormhaven Garrison or are working for Tornidelm or the Ugrogzch. These should be suitable for one or two four-hour play sessions for 1-6 Players (2-6 Exiles) and a Games Master - the flexiblity is vital as the Singleton Scenarios series is intended for the times when you cannot get everyone together! These mini-scenarios are part of our 'Exploratores' series and are intended primarily for PDF release and also collected together in a published 'Singleton Scenario Exploratores' anthology.
Historical	If you have a good historical knowledge, do contact us about possible historical RuneQuest Quester's Guides. We may well be interested in submissions covering the pre-Alexandrian Greek period (of hoplites and bronze), Eygpt around the period 1200-1000 BC, Rome from around 60BC onwards (several periods there, including early Byzantium and the Late Roman periods), the Celts, Nomad tribes (such as Alans, Pechenegs, Mongols or Saka/Scythians). These could even be co-authored with ourselves to ensure a heroic flavour.
