Looking for a Few Good Bannermen


Hello all, Darksbane here. Over the past year we've had some great successes with our articles, and none more so than the House specific series. Thanks to a very dedicated crew we've been able to provide some great articles on every house, and we need your help to do more. Due to some real life issues a few of our writers have had to either step down or take an extended break, so we are looking for a few replacement writers and to expand this concept beyond just Game of Thrones.

Currently we are looking for experienced players to contribute articles for the following Houses:

Two writers for Stark
One writer for Lannister
One writer for Martell

We are also looking for writers who might not be willing to commit to a full series but who would want to contribute with the occasional article for any of the houses. We're calling these writers Bannermen and they would work with the regular writers for a house to contribute the occasional article.

I'm also looking for interested writers who would like to expand this concept to the other PvP LCGs. I'd really like to get some quality content going for the other LCGs, so if you are interested in writing faction specific articles for Star Wars, Android: Netrunner, Call of Cthulhu, or Warhammer: Invasion send me a PM and let me know. Also if you are not looking to write faction specific articles but would like to contribute other types of articles for the LCGs don't be afraid to volunteer!

Update: Thanks for the great response everyone! I'll be contacting those of you who are interested over the next few days to get more information.

I'm not as experienced as likely desired, but I'd be willing to step up for Martell.

I've only got 3 years of experience and only recently started attending tournaments but I could answer the call of the Rock...I know my Lions well.
Sent you a PM. :)

The comment section on my articles would like something like this: "It wouldn't work like that." "Huh?" "There's no way that combination would work." "How many movie references can you make in one article?"

I'd like to point out that I've been in the game for less than a year and have been writing for a few months now, so don't think lack of experience should hold you back from writing.

I agree with Shadowcat. Please don't think that we Small Council writers are all just top 8 Worlds finishers--heavens no. We are just dedicated enough to this silly game to write on a consistent basis. I would argue that various levels of experience actually help the Small Council, since newer players are likely getting more out of these articles anyway. If you can write and if you have passion for the article, that's MUCH more important than experience IMO.

I would love to do martell, I post sometimes on teamcoveant and i got time to post on here as much as desired. I often have different thinking then some people, and not really in a meta so bring fresh thinking to the table. I won't say best player but solid player and getting better. But seems martell is what most people are wanting to do haha.

PM'd about Star Wars LCG and Netrunner. Might well be able to do LotR soon too.
Thanks for the great response everyone! I'll be contacting those of you who are interested over the next few days to get more information.

Just a quick note, as Shadowcat and OKTarg said we welcome all gameplay experience levels for writers, so new players are welcome to write for us. Specifically about GoT though, for the house specific articles, I do think that alot of experience with the house is a must for the regular authors. So that does mean that new players won't be as good a fit for those articles. But that is specifically why we are going with a bannermen system for writing so that new players who want to write for a specific house can work with a more experienced player to make sure they write the best article possible. And as those new players become more experienced with their house they would be the first choices to become regular writers for their house.

As far as Star Wars and Netrunner goes, games which are as new as these two it is hard to measure experience so it is more important for these games to have a strong desire to just produce good content as we all get more experience under our belt.

It seems like many people are wanting to start writing. I think it'd be great for the AGoT articles to have articles dedicated to how to defeat a house instead of how to win with a house...if that makes sense. An article dedicated to what makes a Targ Burn deck struggle. It would help if your meta plays a certain house and you just can't figure out how to beat it. (Greyjoy choke). Also I know we use to have articles dedicated to straight deckbuilding. I really loved those articles and learned a ton from them. Maybe someone could bring those back...

I would be interested in writing something for House Stark. I have no idea what though!

I'll see what I can come up with.
I would be interested in trying to write something for Star Wars LCG. Perhaps, a Scum and Villainy column.

I'm interested in writing for house Lannister.
I see in the newest greyjoy column that the pirates are also in need of a new writer. I'd be more than willing to step up to the plate for them; I've been playing for almost a year now and have played greyjoy almost exclusively.

Those are some good ideas smooth, I'll make sure the writers see the suggestions and we'll see if we can fit it into their series.
Also I want to thank everyone for their interest, and hopefully in the coming weeks we should have some great new stuff for everyone. I should have contacted everyone back at this point but if you didn't get a message from me please send me a PM so I can get back with you.
