More on The Torn God and an Open Call for Writers
The Torn God is Baeg Tobar's main storyline - it's the tale around which we're basing everything else we do. Current plans call for the release of one comic page per week, augmented with one short story, one novel chapter, a map place, and at least one entry from the Resource Guide.
What does all that mean for the reader? It means if you meet a new character in The Torn God, you get to read more about him in that week's short story. It means you get more information about the setting through the map place and the Resource Guide. It means you get to learn all about the past of our main character, Boruin, through weekly updates to his first novel appearance, The Unmade Man.
It means we're going to have a ton of related content throughout the site, and it means you're going to want to come back everyday to see what's new.
Jeremy's already teased you a bit with an art preview, so let me whet your appetite a little more with the introduction to the first chapter of The Torn God:
Emperor Pileaus is dead. Lesser factions battle to improve their standing as the Empire struggles to right itself under the guidance of an inexperienced regent. Freed from its decades old fear of the Emperor’s stern hand, a continent wracked by war and expansion tilts even further toward chaos. Those familiar with the otherworldly source of this new discord are few and fearful.
And yet, despite the strife, business is still business, and the business of war booms loudly as ever for experienced mercenaries like Boruin and his crew. The Empire’s border with Ommany is where the money is – but it’s also the focal point of the continent’s most devious machinations, as Boruin discovers when he’s incorrectly charged with the murder of Emperor Pileaus. Luckily for Boruin, the runes on his arm and the library in his head make him more than just some common merc...
I'd also like to announce an open call for short story writers. Prose production is chugging along nicely, but adding a few more writers would help us all sleep a little better at night. Writers will be given a choice of topics relevant to the events of The Torn God. Stories should be 3000 words or less. Payment is $15 per story. We've got the first ten months or so of story ideas planned, so due dates are still somewhat flexible.
I'd like to mention one added bonus: since I started working with Baeg Tobar, my writing has improved considerably. I can say the same for everyone who's been with us since the beginning. We aren't going to just take your story, edit it, and be done with you. We're going to welcome you into our community and try to help you become a better writer. And we're going to pay you for it!
Interested parties should email me at scott@baegtobar.com. Please note that your first attempt to email me from a particular address will get caught in our spam filter; simply follow the instructions in the automated response to prove you're a real person.
More updates to come!
