I can't get in either, and I used to be one of the 'executives'. LOL
Their internet presence needs a lot of work.
As for the submissions, first you have to send them a proposal (an idea for a story, or product), and then, if excepted, you can move forward with development. I think the four (short) stories I pitched were all one-two sentence ideas, with some character-background to go with it (because I feel the characters are more important then the story itself - its the characters that generate a fanbase and keep 'em coming back for more).
The settings are all already established (for the most part), so you don't have to worry about that, except to tell them which setting your idea is for - even if its a non-story, for example, a card game I was working on for Stormtalons... I wore many hats... {sigh} |

Well, they would like for things to be in a fairly 'complete' form before it goes through their editing process. That means they prefer you put together your own 'team' for a project. They could help you with that end of things, by connecting you with other members, but your 'cut' goes down with each person involved. They allow a certain percentage of the profit to go to the creative team as a whole, and then its up to that team to 'divvy it up'. That works out better when you know the other people involved ahead of time.
Then, once its in a 'beta' form, it gets edited, made, marketed, distributed, etc, and all those people also get a percentage, and whats left goes back to the company, so that the business-end people can also get paid, and the company itself can pay its bills (and hopefully have a little something extra for future projects).
But yeah, they aren't interested in people sending them incomplete stuff. Its up to YOU to get it completed - they can only point you toward people who might be interested in helping. If you need graphics and a 'crunch' guy, thats up to you to get that done. |

Did you want to do stuff for the DM's Guild? You can do that without going through TEGG. From what I understand, that process is much simpler.
In fact, I thought you were talking about wanting to do stuff in TEGG's settings. AFAIK, Ed is producing stuff for the DM's Guild, but thats not TEGG (I think - don't quote me on that). I'm pretty sure they are not taking FR stuff for the DM's Guild - that just gets messy (on all ends). They are two separate entities.
And, as I said, they can help you find other 'creatives' to help you with the parts that you can't do yourself, but you'd have to guarantee they'd get paid. Since they are planning their own rules (to go with their settings), I really don't see Ed getting into any 'crunchy bits' with the DM's Guild (but once again, I am no longer 'in the loop', so I could be mistaken there).
I 'may' be getting back with them on the gaming end of things, depending on how things go. Stormtalons is an amazing, soon-to-be highly detailed novel and RPG setting (and perhaps other types of games will be set there as well... like that card game...). Not saying to abandon FR, but its definitely worth taking a look at (and if you want to get a VERY general idea of the 'flavor'. Think 'FR meets Ravenloft').

I wouldn't know - I haven't had access to their site in quite some time.
Perhaps THAT is why... hmmmm. Best not to overthink these things. |
