New Products?
If you have an idea for a new product, please feel free to contact
us to see if we are interested. We welcome working with people new
to the field, as well as more experienced writers.
Temporality, there will be an official open call for location/settings
within this project shortly. Click here
for an example format of what we are looking for. Email Our Staff
with any queries towards this. Address the subject as DQG Temporality.
We are always taking submissions for the City Guide product line,
new projects for that line are constantly being added. Submissions
for it should be in the form of a single location up to a full set
of locations to flesh out a city block.
Please email Our Staff
with any queries towards this.
Artist Submissions
Please submit examples of color as well as b/w inked work if you
wish to be considered for both. Show examples of background work
as well as character portraits.
Please specify if you want to be considered for cover art only,
or interior art, or both.
All first-time submissions should include a short biography of
the artist and can include such things as e-mail address, web site
address, or other modes of getting in contact with
the artist. Biographies can be as humorous or as serious as the
author wishes, but they should be informative and interesting to
the reader.
If you have a set minimum rate that you will work for, please make
sure to specify your range of fees so we can determine up front
if you are out of our project budget.

Writer Submissions
Please be sure to send us a resume of published work or an example
of the quality of your work. Be sure to peruse our site to determine
if the topics you cover would be consistent with the material we
present. Currently the main interest is in writers with a cyberpunk-esque
feel to them for our Science-Fiction line of D20 products, as well as people
interested in providing material for town and city settings for
our D20 Fantasy line. If you have a set minimum rate that you will
work for, please make sure to specify your range of fees so we can
determine up front if you are out of our project budget.
email: writers@darkquest.com Please attach a copy of our non-disclosure
form to all submissions.
City Guide Series
You can either send in a completed location rough draft to see
if we are interested in it, and we will give a contract on that
item as described, as well as possibly request other locations from
you. 2000-6000 word section per location.
Covering:
Basic History of the Store as known fact or as rumors.
Main NPCs (Basic background and some personality to them).
Layout of the location and anything they sell.
Prices if different from the standard rulebook and an explanation
of why.
Any new items available for purchase from the shop.
Plot Hooks if any for the location.
Guiding Light
Guiding Light is a detailed exploration of a single Diety or a pantheon
of Dieties. It needs to be fully fleshed out, and also provide material
such that a Player or DM can use the product for similar Dieites
in their campaign world. We do take complete submissions from a
single writer, although would prefer to team you up with staff that
are already familiar with our style to help you create a work we
will be happy with. Sample submissions should include things of
interest to a cleric, paladin, or general follower of a particular
diety.
Fur And Feather
Fur and Feather, Scale and Claw is a product line exploring things
of the wilderness. We are not interested in just monster books,
instead this product line is to detail out things in full fleshed
out form. Which means, that we may be looking for a guide to the
wild berries of a forest, including creatures that eat them, or
use those berries as a lure to hunt adventurers and other animals.
Recommended samples should take advantage of knowledge of our style
by providing a sample of fleshed out horse from our Into the Saddle
product, or an example of an exotic breed based on information from
the same product.
Dweomercraft
While Guiding Light explores the divine aspects of the mystic powers,
Dweomercraft explores all things mystical. Possible products could
include new forms of magic or a deeper specialization into one style.
And obvious choice for a sample of your work would be a new spell,
or a sample of how you would tweak a pre-existing spell to accomplish
a new magic style. And example of a prestige class fully detailed
would be another possible submission sample.
Lost Prehistorica
While Lost Prehistorica is not wholely a campaign setting, instead
a toolbook with several possible settings, it is important that
you have an understanding of past products to be able to keep the
toolbooks from contradicting one another. Samples for this product
line can vary greatly, and in some form may overlap other of our
product lines.
Cyber Style
Our current product line of Cyber Style has evolved from material
designed for d20 fantasy, but has since been modified to fit with
d20 Modern. The product line splits slightly with a Line Developer
for straight Cyber Style, and a second one for our Whisper City
setting, which mixes some magic with technology. Submissions should
take into consideration settings so as not to contradict them, however
the product line allows for a tool book approach to design.
d20 Modern
Our main target for d20 Modern is Cyber Style and related cyber
products. But submissions of other forms of d20 modern products
are welcomed.
Non-d20 Products
We currently are not producing any products that are not d20. This
does not mean we will not look at proposals, but the product needs
to be extraordinary for us to devote time and resources to a product
of that sort.
