Looking for a scenario writer
I am looking for
someone interested in doing some limited writing and design work, for
Nordic Weasel Games.
The products in
question will be scenario booklets, for the FiveCore system
(skirmish, Company Command or Brigade Commander).
The booklet will
contain 5 scenarios, using forces that are relatively typical for the
rules.
All 5 scenarios must
be in a common period and setting.
At least 3 of the
scenarios must have an interesting twist, circumstance or situation.
Ideally, each
scenario will present 2-3 variant options for replay value or to
adjust the strength of each side.
Each scenario must
include:
*Simple map, if
required. This can be in image or photo form.
*Setup instructions.
*TO&E for each
side.
*Any relevant
special rules for the scenario.
You may include a
small “Special rules” section, ideally not exceeding 2 pages, if
your scenarios require specific special rules to play, such as a
winter campaign or a pulp adventure.
You must have
knowledge and play experience of the FiveCore system.
You must carry out
testing of the scenario yourself, though I will also test on my end.
You must be able to
deliver the product in a rapid fashion and must be able to respond to
email inquiries quickly and consistently.
Good writing ability
is not required, I will do any relevant text rewrites for the
published version.
You are not required
to do layout and editing of the manuscript.
Simply provide it in
plain document format, with any relevant maps as images.
You will be credited
as the scenario designer, on the cover.
You will receive 50%
of all revenue generated from sales of the scenarios. This can be
negotiated, depending on the quality and scope of work submitted.
Payment is provided
automatically through Wargame Vault and requires a Wargame Vault
account.
I don't currently
have alternate options, but if you are really not able to make that
work, contact me and we can talk.

December for NWG
The scope for December is:
A: Finally get the Precursor army book out.
If all goes well, I'd like to get NSIS units in the army books too, but that may be for January, along with the Warrior army book.
B: The Christmas release will be a compilation of goodies for FiveCore players. It'll cover all three scales of game and include things like a new turn sequence, a simple experience point system, tips for RPG'ers and other goodies.
C: I might try my hand at a crowd funding thing for an infiltration/special forces project I have in mind.
Conspiracies, super soldiers and elite organizations. Think "Metal Gear" in miniatures form.
I'll share a few thoughts later.
I'm usually inclined against crowd funding but I'll leave this up to general fan opinion.
