Information

Backstory A college intern named David, alledgedly connected to the DRC, writes several journals. He speculates about another, neither the DRC nor Yeesha. He also provides transcriptions of journals and writings with commentary from both Pre- and Post-Fall D'ni.

Ages David's Journey will comprise of 5 Ages with an overarching storyline. The larger Ages include a burial Age for the wife of a D'ni poet and an illicit post-Fall D'ni fortress torn by strife.

Structure To prevent spoilers from ruining the freshness and fun of the Ages for explorers, all people working on David's Journey must sign with their forum name a small non-disclosure agreement agreeing not to spoil plot and age details to the community.

The project will be headed by a five person Council to organize and direct the project. Master of the Council - currently vacant - advises on overall organization, as well as settling any problems between departments Master of Age Creation - ZapperJet - advises on the artistic style of the Ages, as well as organizing the Age Department Master of Relations - currently vacant - manages public relations, releases of information, and legal Master of Programming - ZangieF - organizes the technical department Master of Plot - currently vacant - advises on the plot and storyline issues, as well as organizing the plot, writing, and (with the help of the Master of Age Creation) puzzle departments

The project will also include a team with various skills to work more in detail on journals, plot, modeling, programming, and other areas. These will be loosely organized into departments according to their skills (although people can work in multiple departments, or work on stuff for other departments, or so on).

To Apply

David's Journey will be happy to bring you into the team. Currently, only Council positions and a limited number of conceptual positions (concept artists, music, etc.) are being filled. We have a need for leadership and some experienced Age creators (to help us decide what is practical).

Just PM Gehn, lord of ages with a filled out non-disclosure agreement and an explanation of what job you would fill. If you are applying for a Council position, please send or tell me of an example of your skill in the area you will supervise.
