Fantasy Writing Contest Announced!
« on: 26 February 2013, 05:13:38 PM »
I am pleased to officially announce the Strategic Elite Epic Heroes Writing Contest!

As work continues on Epic Heroes: Skirmish Gaming in the Realms of Fantasy for our Brink of Battle skirmish game, we thought we'd give people the opportunity to get their writing published in a rule set!

Starting today and going through the end of May, you can submit a piece of fiction in the categories listed and have a chance at getting published in the final Epic Heroes game supplement due out in June 2013.

Whether you have been published before or not, now is a great opportunity to be part of the most robust fantasy skirmish game system in years. 

Just go to our website at http://www.brinkofbattle.com/ and click on the Writing Contest tab at the top left of the page.  It will tell you all you need to know about the rules and parameters of the contest!

Epic Heros will allow players to create their own worlds and settings, or use one of two 'plug & play' game settings.  It will also give you the ability to add Magic & Monsters to various Historical periods to create Weird West, Weird War 2, and Gothic Horror games.  This full color publication will be the first supplement released for the Brink of Battle system.

We look forward to reading your entries, so get started today!

Noch Weiter!

If submitted for publication, submitter acknowledges the above terms and conditions and accepts the submission is a derivative work of Robert A. Faust and Strategic Eliteā„¢.

I was wondering, could you tell us whether you'd reference the author in any way? 'cos it kind of sounds like you could just put your name at the bottom...

No, I won't put my name on it. The author will get full credit for the story in the front of the book where my acknoledgments and thank you's go, as well as next to his piece if space permits.

They will also receive a free copy of Epic Heroes and the PDF as a thanks.  What my legal counsel advised me to do was include that language so no one could come back and say I owed them money for a story.

I hope that is more clear.  :)
