I forgot about that dude with the blue lips.
>>
>>53365220
No amount of money would get us to do that. You know why?

1) You're too much of a pussy to man up and run your own campaign as GM.

2) You'll want things to be ran in a specific way because you want your ideas, not ours, and you simply won't be happy with any way we run it.

In short, your post has done little more than prove that you're a terrible player as well as terrible GM, and no monetary payment is worth running something when someone as unpleasant as you is involved.
>>
>>53365220
Depends on how annoying you are. Are you an asshole? Do your ideas suck? Are your friends idiots?

Also depends on the system, setting, and length of the sessions. Shadowrun would take a lot more prep and playtime than Dungeon World.
>>
>>53365311
I work 60+ hours a week and have little time.
I see your point,but you are making rash assumptions

It depends. How much are you willing to pay me, and what are those ideas?

Wayne has ruined another idea, this time by presenting the truth.
Stupid Wayne.

>>53365220
The truth is that writing a campaign on someone's ideas is a doable task.
Getting people to join a campaign and run said campaign once or twice a week at 4pm is a doable task.

The problem lies in getting paid for accomplishing those tasks despite however the consumer feels about the results.
A third party client is generally involved.
You, the Consumer, pay the Client to provide an experience based on your ideas.
The Client pays me, the Provider, to write and run the campaign using the Consumer's ideas and specifications.
If the Consumer complains, bitches, or tries to get their money back, it is from the Client, who may or may not use my services as a provider again.
It is is the best interest of the Provider to keep the Consumer happy, but their payment is not directly dependent on it.
This is how you attempt to keep whiny crybaby bitches from ruining the campaign.
>>
I'll do it.
$5 per 2 hour block per person, minimum four people for 4 hours.

What's your idea OP.

More like Doctor Doom's ebay account.

I am currently waiting for deployment to bootcamp and have money to sit on while waiting and hence don't have a job.

I will GM for 20 dollars an hour for each 4pm session (payment for 3 hours will be minimum, even if you or other players cancel the session. If i choose to cancel then said session is of course free).

I would also need a flat 50 dollars per week for the time spent outside the campaign preparing material.

If at anytime the campaign becomes a distinctly sexual fantasy, triple payment per hour and weekly.

If that is an acceptable framework, i will run a campaign about anything you dream of.

If you want documentation, it'll be $15/page, minimum $1500. I reserve all rights on your IP including but not limited to first print, foreign, electronic, and movie rights.

To run your game I'll charge $35/hr. Scouting players will be charged on an hourly basis at $35. I will use available non-/tg/ forums, and a minimum holding fee of $210/week during the player recruitment phase.

I'd want $3200 cash up front, along with your notes and materials. Documents to be drafted upon review. A 100 pg. campaign digest would be generated, and I maintain all rights to that generated material.

Review of your IP would require a $250 application fee, non-refundable and not placed before the cash up front.

That's my bare minimum price. If you want artwork and addendums I will need to be supplied with costs and procurement at the $35/hr req, min. $35+cost per lot of content. That would include maps, character pics, etc.

All transactions would be final, and require a minimum 6 months to run the game.

If you're in then we can discuss.
>>
>>53365220
I'd do it.

For a reasonable fee. First game would be free. Second and all others would be charged at 10 bucks per hour.
Prep time ( 1-2 hrs before sessions), would be another 5 bucks.
Via discord or roll20 or Skype.

I have all stream/video rights.

If you want a high quality product you pay for it. A copy and content edit is $9/pg US average, recruitment for position bills at $45/hr. It's cheap in comparison.

But hey, there's plenty of people who want to just sorta play a game and not pay for it. I do that for my friends. Not for random people on elegan/tg/entlemen boards.
>>
>>53366806
Will do.

>>53366989
>I get hassled by publishers
you get hassled for posting an example of your work? i'm not asking for an entire pdf, just post something you've written that shows quality. your "publishers" aren't going to troll /tg/ looking for rogue images of something they've copyrighted.
>>
>>53366989
Make something original, short and sweet just for us. But you won't~
>>
>>53365311
>You'll want things to be ran in a specific way because you want your ideas, not ours, and you simply won't be happy with any way we run it.
This is a legit concern.

If paid, I'd want to ensure that the buyer was happy. Which would limit me somewhat.

I'm certain something could be worked out ahead to avoid confusion or the game flying off in a direction the payer isn't happy with.
>>
>>53366060
>A palantir? Did we just establish diplomatic relations with Isengard?

Lol. It's a Sub-Nucleonic Decay Generator capable of turning any part of the world into goo...and 3 of the world's greatest villains just activated it's 72-hour countdown!
>>
>>53366989
And this is the part where the troll breaks down. Also:
>i'm good enough to do what you're asking because i'm good enough to do what you're asking
Is circular logic.
>>
>>53366993
>but my time is worth something and I would expect to get appropriately compensated for it.
Undoubtedly your time is.
How much it's worth, is set by those willing to pay.

You are of course, free to reject the value they set. In which case your time is free to be spent watching TV, or whatever.

>>53367051

I make 15 an hour so it would have to be at least that. And if you want a more thought out experience would need some weekly/monthly allowance to write out the ideas and connect them with hooks. Got 4 years experience running various games for friends. Published some short stories in middle school and hs. I'm fairly mediocre and focus on story over rules. Usually homebrew a lot of things so if someone is power gaming I can hit them down or homebrew some buffs for the other players. IDK bout the other people though, could possibly recruit from my own friends but if you want consistent players incentivize them with money. It would probably average out at like 400 or so a month to run. Iv actually been considering trying to monetize my DM services.

>>53367271
Why so much hush hush? It's just a game, in the end, right? Who's gonna steal it?
>>
>>53367308
Never said Iron Claw was a bad system. I'm actually running 2 Iron Claw games right now. Just most people take one look at the cover art and nope the system into the trash.
>>
>>53367260
Phone. So no green text.

I ran many games for "friends". Then got bored with it and said I was done for a while. They said "we'll pay 50 per session", ten bucks per player. I accepted.
Then our normal style changed. One player was pissed and wouldn't pay up after his character died. Two sessions in...and none of us are friends now. They felt like they were buying a product, and each had a different idea about what that product should be.

What had worked great for years..was no longer "good enough" once money was involved.
