Special Bulletin!

We're launching very soon (around March 1st, NOT a solid promise though). As this is the first contest, we have some special staffing needs to fill. RPGC#1 is essentially finished and ready to launch -- but we need a few staffers to help read and review submissions, and select the Staff Pick winners. It's not a full contest workload -- but it is still a bit of a commitment, best suited to people who are pretty sure they're going to participate in the contest anyway, and wouldn't mind paying a little extra attention to the critiques. You're still allowed (encouraged, actually) to submit an entry of your own for the contests you work on, so have no fear on that account. Since it's a smaller workload, I'm only looking for about [b]4-5 people[/b] to fill out the RPGC#1 staff -- again, you'll be reading, critiquing, and selecting staff-pick winners (and hopefully you'll be entering a story of your own as well). I'll get in touch with people who've already expressed interest, but if you'd also like to volunteer for RPGC#1's smaller workforce, simply leave a reply saying as much. 

[b]Simultaneously[/b], this is the perfect time to start working on RPGC#2, which will go live in April. This will be the full workload -- RPGC#2 staff gets to take on the whole enchilada, brainstorming ideas, drawing up themes, special rules, staff pick categories, and anything else you can dream up; then, when the contest goes live, you'll be reading, critiquing, voting, entering, etc. I'll be guiding the process along to make sure we're actually hitting deadlines, but RPGC#2 staffers get to be in charge of [i]essentially every aspect of the contest[/i]. Which is pretty cool! If you'd like to volunteer for RPGC#2's full-on task force ([b]up to nine people[/b]), now's the time to volunteer.

[b]Last and not least[/b] -- I've noticed a distinct lack of color in the RPGC world, and it's probably got something to do with how shoddy my graphics work is. Well, if you know your way around a graphics program, maybe you can help! We're looking for art -- whether that's for the contest threads, or for the various RPGC meta-threads, or maybe you just think this would all look a lot more professional if there were a jellyfish just ---> there. If you'd like to volunteer your graphic services, reply here [i]or[/i] send me a private message.
