1988 Open Call for Star Wars RPG Writers

9 years ago Philip Reed

This advertisement from the February 1988 issue Dragon magazine is fantastic! West End Games was searching for writers to work on their Star Wars roleplaying game (find at Amazon.com*) and offered up this ad asking potential freelancers to contact them for guidelines. This is the best find of the day!

Wow! I had no idea they acutally solicited writers. I’d have killed to get that gig!

  @Jay – I’m lucky in that my very first professional work in the RPG industry was with West End Games and Star Wars. And yeah, I wish I had tried earlier than I did.
