1·3 years agoHey, thank you for the detailed comment! I can definitively say this isn’t a phishing email attempt. I’m just trying to find someone who can match my style of writing to work with. (Also as someone in IT wouldn’t someone want to maximize the emails they get in a phishing attempt, I’ll be lucky if 10 people enter haha)
Everyone’s working on the same thing, it would be another story if I had everyone working on multiple different One-Shots, but since it’s the same, it’s of no use to me to have multiples. Only the first-place winner will be shown and they get $100 which is how much I charge for commissions and how much they would make for the prep to start. 2nd and third place also get a prize, so overall this is costing me more than if I just had one person to start. I can understand your concern about simply using something I wrote so I wouldn’t have to pick someone, but again that wouldn’t help me since I actually am looking for someone. If you have advice on how to make that less of a concern definitely let me know! It’s one of those things where sure I can say it, but that won’t change whether you believe me or not.
If you take a look at my prep you can see that I simply link to YouTube, I’ve never heard of that being an issue.
I’ll be doing a final review of all the work before it actually gets posted, so I don’t foresee a negative customer interaction so much, but if something did pop up then I simply wouldn’t use them for future prep! The last line is just in case people submit Jiberish hoping that only 1-3 people enter.
I’ve updated the post to include more info about the position, I had updated other posts, but didn’t add it here, so that’s my bad!
If you have any suggestions on how I can make a post like this better I’d love to hear; I’m sure I’ll eventually be looking for additional people in the future!
Cheers, Advent

1·3 years agoOf course and thanks so much for asking, looks like I have a bit of updating to my posts so that I can make things as clear as possible, here’s the gist though!
The job itself is basically doing the exact thing that’s being done for the contest! Prepping popular One-Shots and Adventures.
I’m offering the same amount that I charge for commissions, so $100 for each One-Shot Prepped; with up to a bonus $100 for each completed project based on how closely the person can match my style. If the person is good enough, then they’ll eventually receive a percentage of all profits from Advent’s Amazing Advice! Payment is via Venmo, but other ways can be worked out if needed! The work is online/commission based so nationality isn’t an issue.
For Content Production/Hours, I’m looking for someone who can prep between 1-2 One-Shots a month, you can choose when, where, and how to complete the work! I’ll be guiding the person to match my style and be there to help with anything that pops up along the way. I’ll still be prepping other One-Shots and Campaigns as well and expanding new ways to help people!
As for judging, that will be done by me the creator of Advent’s Amazing Advice; since I’m looking for someone who can match my style specifically. Only I will be able to see the work and only the winners will get a post on my Patreon!
Hope that helps answer your questions, if you have any more just let me know, I’m only a message away!
Cheers, Advent

41·3 years agoDefinitely not trying to be malicious in any way and that’s why I added prizes. Only the first-place person would be featured and I would have no use for any of the other prep.

1·3 years agoI appreciate your feedback! When I make my post, the DM Notes are completely free and able to be used by anyone! The additional One-Shots are a mix of Free and Patron content, but I offer a preview of all of it which can also be used as a starting point for those who need it! I also talk about my Patreon in the last paragraph. I’ll try to make it clearer in the future that this is for D&D since we’re on a RPG section and not a D&D specific one. Thanks again!
Cheers, Advent

1·3 years agoI would say 3-4 people, but there’s only 1 fight so you can take a look at that and adjust it to make it good with just about any amount of people!

1·3 years agoDo it, it’s so rewarding! I know it can overwhelming at first, but with my notes, it’ll be a breeze!!! The most important thing is just be flexible, your players will often times throw a curve ball. If you get stuck just look up a rule, if it takes to long make a ruling and move on!

1·3 years agoThank you! It should take about 3hrs, but since this One-Shot leans more on the roleplay aspect it can change depending on your players. I’m pretty sure you can get this done in a weekend unless you’re running 1hr sessions!
If you end up using my notes, let me know how it goes and if I should change anything

3·3 years agoReally glad that you like it, I’m always looking for interesting and fun sessions to prep!
Unfortunately, I don’t yet, but I do have it planned for the future since I know it’s a popular request. I already have a few in mind! It’ll probably end up being a 2-3 session adventure as well! That being said I know people have taken my notes and tweaked them for solo play since the only thing you have to adjust is combat!

1·3 years agoThank you! Well, the short of it is that depending on the tier you sign up for, you’ll be able to download a certain amount of previously released One-Shots or Adventures every month. All the files are hosted on google drive, so when a patron requests access I can approve them! That prevents the issue you’re talking about! You can find the finer details in my Index and FAQ
There is a way to access all the content though, I just recently added yearly memberships, and anyone who becomes a yearly legend will get 2 months free, unlock everything I’ve ever made, and all upcoming content for the next year along with 6 exclusive fully prepped One-Shots that are being released Bi-Monthly!
Hope that answers all your questions, If you’re curious about anything else just let me know!

2·3 years agoYou’re so very welcome! That’s exactly why I wanted to create Advent’s Amazing Advice, being a DM can be a ton of work and just feel overwhelming, but I hope with this you can just sit back relax and enjoy some Amazing games!!! If you get the chance to use my notes please let me know how it goes!

2·3 years agoVery true on both ends! Hey once they get more experience, there are some really challenging things they can try! I recommend The Egg of Estyr for the sheer awesomeness, but if you want really challenging combat then anything from Heliana’s Guide to Monster Hunting is solid, I’ve got Shadow of the Broodmother prepped just like this as well as The Reign of Iron!
