Create WotC’s New Fantasy Setting!

The official Wizards of the Coast website has been updated with an article soliciting for a new fantasy setting. If you decide to send in your fantasy setting proposal, you’ll be happy to hear what the three finalists are offered:

Should your setting be chosen as one of the approximately three (3) settings Wizards would like to see further expanded, you will be notified and requested to expand your ten-page treatment into a one-hundred (100) page setting bible.

That’s a lot of work, and you won’t be expected to do it for free.

These finalists will be awarded a one-time development fee of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000). All work submitted at this point shall be the sole property of Wizards and entrants will be required to execute an agreement to that effect with Wizards prior to payment.

Ten thousand dollars ($10,000) will be awarded upon execution of a work-for-hire agreement with Wizards. The final ten thousand dollars ($10,000) will be awarded upon actual submission of the 100-page setting bible.

The panel will review those final submissions and select the best one. A one-time consulting fee of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) will be awarded to the final entrant. Further, future preferential consideration may be given to the final entrant in assigning development or authorship of game product, novels, and other related material.
