| Since the early 1990s, Pagan Publishing has been a clearinghouse for talented new writers and artists. Many of the names you see attached to the games and books you love have been associated with Pagan Publishing at some point in the last 15 years. We are proud of the community of talented contributors that has grown around this humble enterprise. Like many small businesses since 9/11/2001, Pagan has gone through some rough economic times and we find ourselves unable to afford the services of the folks we used to rely upon. Many folks have moved on to better paying work and others simply do not have the time to work for us, given the responsibilities of family and career. And that's why we need you. You are the twisted, the energetic, and the skilled. You have some time and a lot of talent to devote to a continuing legacy of astounding fiction and gaming materials. You'll work for peanuts, but you're worth a lot more to us. In return for your talent and hard work you'll get the opportunity to work with pioneers in the gaming industry and point to your name on subversive and dangerous but beautifully manufactured products on the shelves of your local game or book store. Oh, and of course - there's money. Not a lot of money, but it'll help pay for ammunition. |

Layout
Layout skills is one of our biggest needs. Our usual batch of layout masters - including a standup comic, our founder John Tynes, and various other co-conspirators and fellow travellers - have now moved beyond our sphere to paying employment that takes all their spare time. So we need layout artists with the following skills and software: Adobe InDesign Adobe Pagemaker Quark Express basic image editing If you’ve got the skills, send your contact information to paganbiz@aol.com. |
Art
We are always looking for art. For instance...
Send your contact information, ideas, and samples to paganbiz@aol.com Digital Art We’ve seen some really nice Photo-shopped fan art out there related to the Cthulhu Mythos. Strangely, we have rarely received digitally manipulated artwork submissions. If you have great digital arts skills or if you've developed Mythos photomanipulations, send them in to paganbiz@aol.com. |
Writing
We need more writers! For instance:

Playtesting
Once upon a time Pagan had a pretty good stable of play-testers to test our role-playing scenarios and games. Over the years we’ve lost track on most of these folks. People get jobs, get married, bugger off to the third world, or disappear into the howling void. Well, we need new folks to playtest our products. We need folks who will playtest the products in a timely fashion and return detailed reports on how the product worked for you. And no, sending back an email saying “It wuz fun!” isn’t going to cut it. If we send you a 10,000 word scenario you better come back at us with a 1,000 word report. If we send you a 100,000 word campaign, we expect reports on each playtest session, not just a wrap up. We want to know what worked as well as what failed. If you think you’ve got a reliable group of players and can devote the time to writing up a post action report, then contact paganbiz@aol.com. |
