Hi all, just found this forum so I thought I'd post this ad here too ...

A new opportunity has come up and QT Games is now looking for 1 more creative game designer with solid writing skills and experience in RPG design to join the team on an ongoing freelance basis. Yes, this is for pay.

Our current project is the Cosmothea RPG. This is a big project, including fantasy, science fiction and superhero rules plus a really big setting. There's money to be made here - and we've got a very friendly, supportive team. Compensation is negotiable, but we are very serious about the product line, and as such, SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY, please. I can't stress that enough. If you are too busy for regular work on the side, please don't respond. Thanks!

The right person for the job would be honest, reliable, talented (preferably published, though that's not a requirement), easy to get along with and able to get enthusiastic about working in the RPG industry. Please consider how busy you are. I've lost a few game designers this year that really wanted to work on the project, but when it came down to it, they just didn't have time to do anything significant. If this is you, please don't contact me until you feel confident that you are not trying to take on more than you can chew.

Please provide a sample showing your writing and game design skills. A resume would be nice, but final decisions will be made on the other criteria mentioned here. We also have a group of playtesters, though we could always use more, as well as brainstormers.

Re: QT Games website: There's not much up in the public areas (we're spending the bulk of our time making the game, not making lots of public pages - that will come later), but I can supply more details about the game and company upon request. (There's tons of details in a secure area of the site, including the rulebooks and art).

I've already had ads out and am in talks with a few designers and would like to close this open call sometime this week, so if you have what it takes and are interested in hearing more about QT Games and this exciting opportunity, contact me! Please don't PM me as those fill up fast - Email: info at QT-Games.com (replace the "at" with "@"). Thanks!

Hi all,

Thanks to everyone who contacted us regarding a freelance game design position. We've gotten a large number of responses. If you are interested, please contact us right away to toss your hat in the ring. We can't take everyone. Serious inquiries only. I was going to close the Open Call tonight, but I'll leave it open one more day in case some are just seeing this post. Once I close it, we'll finalize who's going to be added to the team and get back to preparing the Cosmothea RPG for publication. Thanks!

I'm sure we'll open the doors again as we have in the past. We'll be bringing on board an editor later. We are not looking for any more artists at this time. Thankfully, we've got a large, solid team of excellent, regular painters. If you aren't following us on Twitter or Facebook, why not swing by the forums and look us up!

We're ending the Open Call at this time, having received a large number of inquiries. It will take us a bit of time to go through resumes and samples, but we should be able to settle on the right designers for the job from among those who have contacted us thus far.

In a world where people are fairly transient, we'll still be holding our ground, but sometimes life gets in the way and a team member has to step down or we discover we need to expand the team again, and so those who position themselves for success sometimes find it, if they don't give up too soon!

As I mentioned earlier, we'll likely post another Open Call in the future for other positions. Those of you who are still interested but missed the Open Call, you are welcome to join our forum, check out what's going on there and note that we're always looking for additional playtesters and brainstormers, which is a good way to get a taste of the game, contribute and position yourself for a possible future role in the company! Or, if nothing else, have fun, network and make friends!

Hi all,

I just brought on board another game designer. With a decent-sized team now, the doors are all but shut!

Those of you who I contacted regarding possibly coming on board with QT Games, please respond by Oct. 26, as I'm wrapping this up and need to be moving forward! We have some exciting things under development and need to keep rolling.

If you've got questions, concerns or comments, contact me! If you are no longer interested, at this point in the process, a letter to that affect is appropriate, especially since I did say that time was of the essence. If you are still interested, I need to know right away and I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks much!
Bob
