Gentles,
I'm looking for a designer to basically take a PDf project i started a while back and start over from scratch with it. It occured to me that I have this license for a Amerimanga called As Told By.... and that the rules system I had chosen was all wrong for it. I was hopig that there might be someone with skills in the design of comedy games who can come up with an original idea that would better simulate my concept for the game, which is that the Gm and players would choose a famous fairy tale to make fun of, create their characters accordingly, and then let loose for the evening until the end of the story.
I can try to get the original manga to the new designer if they are interested, so that it will match the comics' spirit.
I can offer a royalty to the designer who want to take on this project, amount to be neogtiated. If I do not have a complete game out on PDf by November 2004 I lose the license.

Hi, Michael.
If the designer does come up with a good idea and a good implementation for the game that generates behaviour that matches what happens in the manga and in time to fit your license limits, will you publish it? :-/

Call Jared Sorensen. Seriously. I bet he could either come up with a design for you in the shower, else help you polish up your own nascent ideas into a publishable game, not unlike a shrink helping you work through your personal problems.
Call. Jared.
Good luck!
