What you do: Design a Fully playable Role Playing Game based around the concept of “Human Augmentation” This can be through any means you feel would make a great setting. You may use any OGL system currently available or create your own system. If you choose to use d20 as your system we ask you be creative as to make the system stand out by creating variations to the system.
What we will do: There are 2 rounds to this contest. The first round will be open to all participants and will last approximately 2 months. After the deadline we will take several weeks to review the submissions and announce the 3 finalists. The Finalists will then have an additional month to fine tune their entry based on comments and critiques by the Heroic Journey Publishing Staff.
Disclaimer: The writer will own all IP information but HJP will be in legal control of all entrants from the time of submission to the announcement of a winner. All non winning Designs Intellectual Property will then transfer back to the original owners once the contest is over. The winning Design Intellectual Property will remain under the control of HJP based upon the contract signed by the winner. The terms of the contract will become the terms between the winner and HJP with HJP controlling the Intellectual property with the designer owning it. The terms of the contract will include compensation for the Owner during the length of the contract with HJP based on a revenue sharing plan. The Winner will also be allowed to develop the line further with HJP for the term of the contract. Current HJP Employees and Contract holders are ineligible to enter.
