We are looking for 2 Story Writers (locked)

Post#1 » Wed Feb 10, 2016 2:09 pm

Hello everyone,

from time to time we are creating some Live Events like the last one ""Minions of the Under-Empire: Skaventide".

http://www.returnofreckoning.com/forum/ ... =19&t=9235

This is pretty much work especially the Live Event story and plot. Currently we are looking for 2 people writing these stories and plots in the future. You actually don't need to create anything of what you write down.

What needs to be written down:

- Plot
- NPC names
- Quest names
- Quest dialogues
- Proposed Event rewards

If you are interested just apply on the topic :) and I will contact you in the next 5 days via PM! Thank you very much!

Greetings

Hello, I am a massive fan of everything you guys are doing, and I have been wanting to help the team in a way besides suggestions and bug reports. This gives me an opportunity to help RoR with a passion of mine; the Warhammer experience.

I have a wealth of knowledge of the "Old World", and a desire to tell interesting stories to make the RoR experience an immersive one, and can appreciate the lore differences between WFB and RoR. Even in my suggestions for competitive balance there are always elements of how such abilities translate to the role play world. It's easy to be drawn into the game when the aesthetic and lore is so rich and inviting.


I have 15 years RPG GM/DM experience including running several successful Warhammer Fantasy Battle/RP campaigns. I am currently writing a module for 5e DnD.

Here is a snippet for 40k I wrote a couple years back, unfortunately I don't have any Fantasy works on my current computers but I felt that a small short story would help. (It lacks real dialogue unfortunately)
Spoiler:
Distant blasts of las-fire and bolter rounds exchanging can be heard off in the distance, as Thaddeus, Chosen of the Black Legion, pulled himself to his feet. Broken and beaten the former-Luna Wolf stumbled through rent vehicles and ruins alike towards his transport.
Holding an armoured hand against a vicious gash in his side, the Chaos Space Marine pushed on, crippled he struggled till his optics picked something, a creature that seemed all but alien to the carnage of war, it's pitiful existence gave him new strength. It was none other than the Planetary Governor...crawling on all fours like the wretched flesh-hound bait he is.
A shadow loomed over the once proud Governor Gareth Dalimar. The broken man looked up to see the 8- foot monstrosity. Teeth-like protrusions covered black and golden armour of this hellish figure. A bloody claw from this monument of corruption reached down and grabbed the lithe man without effort.
“Youuuu...” said a voice emanating from this Chosen vox...a voice sounding like a rasping scream of a daemon. “Youuuu are coming with ME!”

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Gareth was hurled with a audible slam into the back of a Chaos Rhino, and strolling behind him was Thaddeus. With the press of a button, the back hatch of the Rhino sealed shut.
“You will do as I say!” screeched the dread marine. “Speak! Tell me, where is the manufactorum? I know you have this knowledge! Reveal your secrets!”
A blank expression was all that can be seen on the Governor’s face, not fear, not hatred, not defiance, just apathy. Infuriated, Thaddeus lunged at the governor, but to his surprise, the Governor dodged him almost effortlessly, whilst drawing a blade out his cane. A sharp pain could be felt in the chosen’s Achilles tendon as a pierce from a needle thin power blade jabbed through the back plate of his armour. Thaddeus slammed backwards landing on top of the governor. As he rolled over he made sure his fingers were tightly wrapped around this governor’s neck.
“You think you could defeat me? My soul is eternally bound to Abaddon’s will! Even if you could somehow best me, I would be back to inflict misery once again...I am always ready for the Eternal War...” Thaddeus’ grip tightened, choking the governor “You ...You can die now!”
As the Governor began chocking, Thaddeus noticed something odd; the governor’s face was shifting... no longer a war-torn elderly man, but a young woman.
Surprised, the chaos chosen loosened his grip for the slightest moment, an opening that this shape-shifter immediately took advantage of. An open palm shot straight at the chosen’s throat, but was dodged, freeing this creature and leaving Thaddeus off balance. Then young woman adopted switched stance and with clenched fist a mercurial liquid manifested itself on her wrist and solidified into a sharp silver punching dagger.
With a single stoke jabbed it into the coughing chaos space marines fore head. His lifeless husk fell to the floor with a large clash...Victim of a Callidus Assassin.
The last thing Thaddeus felt was his soul being devoured by the fragment of a hungry star god.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I have no problem communicating via Skype /Steam/ Mumble and I have my own vent channel. I look forward to adding interesting characters, quests and stories to the RoR World, and being part of this amazing team.

I would be interested in helping out.

While I do not have a lot of formal writing experience, I am well versed in Warhammer Lore (dwarf, skaven, and orc especially).

I also have experience as an officer and leader of a roleplaying guild. I organized and helped to organize many player events back on Burlock, so I know a lot about the map layouts, and cool underused places in PvE areas.

Hello! I'm gonna give it a try!
Spoiler:
- Plot
A Skaven klan has reached the outskirts of Altdorf/Inevitable City. They've dugged a tunnel from various parts of the underworld and realize that they could easily storm and create a paralyzation warfare that would stun the entire city from the invasion. Luckily for us (players), one of our guards were nearby and was able to hear their squeeking and high pitched voice about the plan.
The guard (Pol or Meph) alarmed the city and next up came the entire city brigade to stand over the tunnel, having their weapons drawn and slaying some large rats that spawns here and then.

Inside the tunnel stands Lulth/Sira guarding the entrence. Both are wounded and state that Arra/Dugr has gone with them to take out their warlord on their own. Neither of them has returned for days.

Then you encounter the vast army of Nools klan which consists of a neat, tight packed and heavily armed force that does not fall for anything, on their flanks stands vast skaven ogres (champs) guarding. Further in, you will find Arra/Dug but surrounded by three very strong hereos.

Nool long Whiskers in the end should be a heavily guarded.
Spoiler:
- NPC names
Order: Pol Adlermann(EM), Sirathril Silverblade(HE), Arraka Grongburaz(DW)
Destruction: Mephirax Blacksand(C), Lultharion Shiverspine(DE), Dugruk Skullbreakka(G)
Spoiler:
- Quest names
"What in the name of Sigmar/Raven is that thing!?"
"Swarming like spewing filled guts"
"Nools Klan"
"Find Arra/Dug fast!"
"Execution of Nool long Whiskers"
Spoiler:
- Quest dialogues
"They popped up out of nowhere!"
"Are you brave enough to go down there?"
"Ahh reinforcements. Good. We'll need you. One of our colleuges haven't returned yet. Can you find him/her?"
"Watch those corners, these tunnels may look the same but they're different for them!"
"Help me..."
"Intruders!!! Kill! Kill! Slay them!"
"Wha? This is no our rats. This is ground walkers. Humans/Undead!! Kill them all!!"
Spoiler:
- Proposed Event rewards
Cloak of the Vermin Warp (I'm free to illustrate it)
Azuneon - Magus

Just throwing this out there to consider that you should consider doing something with chaos dwarves then you could do stroryline where on order you are asked by dwarfs to kill/sabotage them
Destro can have a greenskin quest giver who wants you to do the same
