Wise Turtle Ponders


I dare say that creating and sub-mitting for publishing is like some sort of adventure. On the other hand, please, for the love of a nicely waxed shell, do not send me dribble. You have no idea the headaches I get reading such.

--------- What's New? ---------

- Artists -
Wise Turtle Publishing prides itself on liberal usage of quality art. If you have interest in working for us, you must e-mail or provide a website with the following material.

Name:
E-Mail Contact:
IM Contact (Optional):
Website (Optional):
Summary of Experience:
Media Used:
Three sample images, at least one of which fully colored.

This file will be reviewed. If it is acceptable, we will mail back with possible projects and payments, which, of course, you are not obligated to accept. In either case, your name and contact information will remain on file for notification of future products, unless you request otherwise.

What We Are Looking For
: At the current time, all Wise Turtle products have a heavy anime influence. Skill is required in mimicing, or at least paying homage to, that style. Other art styles will not be acknowledged at this time.

Why Should You Be Interested?: Wise Turtle Publishing offers an unparalleled amount of freedom and involvement. Artists are not simply paid workhorses, but instead are treated as the intrensic part of the creative process they should be. Artists have the ability to design and redesign character concepts as they see fit, and are allowed to comment and make suggestions on the project as a whole. In most situations, artists are even allowed to choose what images they prefer to draw.

- Writers -
Are you an anime expert? If you can describe an anime genre backwards and forwards, then we may have a job for you! In the future, Wise Turtle Publishing plans to create a series of "genre books" further detailing the ins and outs of a specific anime category. If you would like a foot in the door for one of these projects, e-mail a brief overview of your knowledge, including what genre, and a small writing sample that makes use of it.
Wise Turtle Publishing is not accepting general writing submissions at the time.

- Licensing -
If you are interested in using Ricochet, there are several licensing options available.

Conversion License............$25
This is a simple license that allows you to include a small section converting another rule system to Ricochet. This allows you to make use of the Abilities and Weaknesses list by name, but does not give you the right to copy or make use of any of the descriptions thereof. Though you may make reference to the rules as neccessary, you may not restate them implicitly.

Straight License..................$50 + 5% Royalties
This license allows you to use the Ricochet mechanics in your RPG. Though you may use any and all rules currently published in OVA products, you may not make any major alterations to these rules. Slight modifications and additions are acceptable, but changing any of the core mechanics (like for damage and combat) is not.

Free License.......................$100 + 5% Royalties

You may use and alter the Ricochet mechanics as you please.
