So, you have some cool ideas for Threadbare? That’s great! We’d love to feature them on this blog!
The Jury-Riggers are players and GMs who create their own content for Threadbare RPG and want to distribute it. Player-created content falls into the following categories, and a post can fit into more than one category:
- Adventures and challenges
- New Character Forms
- Ideas for Upgrades – must always have an associated Move
- Devices – must include a recipe
- Glitches
- Locations
- Interesting GM Characters
- Actual Play reports
- Let Me Tell You About My Character
- Artwork you’ve created
How it works:
- Register for an account here on ThreadbareRPG.com (you can also use a wordpress.com login, if you already have one.)
- Verify your email address by email.
- Set up your profile, including your first/last names or pen-name, your website link, and a brief bio. Optionally: upload a profile photo. Obscene, hateful, and spam profiles will be deleted without comment.
- Write a post, selecting the category from above (Adventures, Character Forms, Upgrades, Devices, Glitches, Locations, GM Characters, Actual Play, My Character, or Artwork) and click Submit.
- Wait for Stephanie or another editor to approve the post. It will go live in the Creator Content area of the website. If an editor thinks you need to make changes, they will edit your post and save it for you to review, so check back in a week for updates.
- You are welcome to share the link to the post on ThreadbareRPG.com as soon as it’s live. After the post has been live for 7 days, you may republish the content elsewhere– including for payment (this is currently the quickest way to license the Threadbare RPG system for 3rd party commercial works– let me publish it first for a week, then you can do what you want with your work). Optionally: use the (coming soon) “Jury-Rigged for Threadbare RPG” logo on the work.
- If/when Stephanie puts together a compilation of Threadbare materials for sale (such as on DriveThruRPG), she will pay you $20 for the right to publish it in print and electronically in that format. She also may contact you for an updated bio and possible editing tweaks at that time.
