I've decided to accept a position as Head Game Designer and manager for a project associated with Shanghai University's ITS department.

I'm pretty excited.

That sounds fantastic!

[identity profile] benlehman.livejournal.com 2006-04-14 11:06 am (UTC)(link)
It is.

The pay is less than $200/month. But whatever. That's what I have tabletop game sales for.

That is fantastic! I look forward to hearing more about the gig. I didn't even know colleges had Head Game Designers.

They don't. I'm the head (and only) designer on a project, sponsored by the central govt., headed by one of the profs at the university.

Let me guess - it's wargaming to test scenarios for how the Red Hordes can smash the evil paleface ghosts from across the ocean?

Dude, you're fast on your way to becoming Erick Wujcik!

[identity profile] benlehman.livejournal.com 2006-04-15 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed, Erick was the guy who gave me the job lead.

I am a very large amount of salary and two smash-hit TRPGS away from being Erick Wujcik.

Nice. Very nice. Best watch yourself or you'll become respectably employed and have to give up your globe-trotting ways.

Rock on!

Rock on!

Also, any University that needs a Head Game Designer is OK by me.

Congratulations! Sounds like an opportunity you'll be telling children about in your old age.
