Greetings to all!
My name is Markus Lappalainen and I am producing a tabletop roleplaying game.
As goals and deadlines are piloting the product during the Christmas season of 2015 and final release accompanied by a promotion tour (only in Finland because of financial and - to a degree - time limitations) during the Summer of 2016. As far as spreading the product goes, first it will be available in stores only in Finland and then as soon as possible the goal is international availability. The products will be available also online and there international availability will be reached faster.
Around the product will be possibly established a development team in a form of a small company. Details on that will be determined later on as the production starts moving along well and smoothly. This means there is a possibility of future job offers and/or various kinds of contracts.
Those asking if this is paid or volunteer work. Mainly volunteer work for now but once the product turns into profit the contributors will get a share of the profit.
The project needs serious and creative authors, poets and other writers to join forces in creating an unique, diverse and interesting world that gives an opportunity to an immersive experience for the player. I am looking for team members who give active input and create, not only write clean what I have already designed. Genre of the game is medieval fantasy and all this is needed:
Lore
Lore includes all the facts and details there is to know of the world. Among others it encompasses history, culture and it's practices and phenomena, knowledge of flora, fauna, peoples, individuals and places. Also how the world works is part of this category. Lore is the most crucial part of all.
Stories
For those Players who don't care about creating their own stories there will be playable stories or campaings for them. The plan is that there would be stories for 1 + Game Master and up to whatever feels is still reasonable, comfortable and fun to play. During the playable stories the Player(s) will be placed in situations where s/he or they must react, choose, make a decicion. There will be consequences that take the story to different paths and endings. There will be general stories and there will be stories tied to a certain character. Even stories tied to an event are possible.
Characters
Pre-created playable characters will be available so designing these in great detail is needed. They need their own personalities and backgrounds. Mainly there will be a male and female example of a class (m&f thief, m&f wizard, m&f whatever...). There will be others too eventually. Of course the important individuals of history and other non-playable characters need a persona too.
Contact me via e-mail if you are interested in working with the production and we'll continue from there. We will make a signed contract/agreement of copyrights and using the submitted material. A scanner and a printer is needed for this.
Include to your e-mail the following information if applicable:
Looking forward to hear from You!

- Those who are satisfied with huge thanks and credit for all submitted work accompanied with eventual international visibility and a possible job offer or contract in the future are welcome to jump on board.
- Those studying arts might want to consider this project as part of their studies. I don't know of all the universities/colleges but at least here in Finland there are possibilities to turn projects into credits or take them as assignments instead of those given in a course.
- Those who are looking for a serious project to build up their portfolio are welcome to jump on board.
- I do recognize that it is impossible to accomplish this production without expenses. A work of this scale requires monetary sacrifices. So those who work only for money and are not willing to risk sacrificing the time for an endeavor like this may also contact and we will negotiate of how we will proceed. (NOTE I have not calculated budgets at this point but offers and deal suggestions would be much appreciated to help the eventual calculations)
