Looking for: Writes/Proofeaders and maybe a coder or two (if for no other reason then to help me while I am still learning)

User names and modding credentials of everyone in your team: Most of my mods I have realsed (such as the Baldur's Goth Expansions) are portrait tweaks. I do have my Trilogy of Crap mod, but it is mostly tweaks of existing mods, updating them to patch rather then overwrite. The Summon Bhaalspawn mod, and Alex Macintosh were simple conversions of "Mac Only" mods to PC. Taim (the thief without dialogue) was a translation from Spanish to English, my role in Hublepot was a few dialogues (less then 10%) and a little input on the quests. Finally, I did convert Johnathon from TuTu to BGT, but that was more of a format conversion then actual code.

SisterSinister (my real life wife) is helping with this mod as well. She has had at least some role in every mod I have relased, weither it was input, or actual portrait modification. She is an excellent writer, and all dialogues, quests, etc.. are edited by her to keep the tone/voice consistant.

Belinde (who should need no introduction) has also offerd to help in an unofficial capacity.

Which time zone you're in: US/Central - Not that it matters, I keep odd hours.

Details of the mod you're currently working on: The Shyhinworunto Chende NPC mod. I don't want to give away too much detail, but this is a NPC/Romance mod that features two new NPCs (A Half-Orc and a Half-Dryad), several new bams for new items, a new stat upgrade method (additional, no game mechanic changes), and while most of it looks silly, the mod will be a touch dark at times, and there will be a lot of serious things (I really don't want to give away a lot). This mod will have sexual elements, but no explicit sexual encounters.

What type of help you need: I am looking mostly for writers to help with inter-party banter. I do not know all of the Bioware NPCs as well as I should because I am a modded game addict, with a soft spot for NPCs/Romances. I always play good, so the evil NPCs are especially a weak spot of mine.

Someone(s) that is/are familiar with coding would help. I am still rather new to this, and I have a long way to go before I can truly call myself a novice coder. I still have an entry for Iron Modder X that does not work. :(

Deadlines for completion of any requested work.: I hate deadlines, you will never be given any of those. Well, at least until the mod is almost ready for beta testing. Then if you are sitting on a banter, I will give you a date it must be turned in by, or I will be forced to leave it out.

Planned release date for the beta and/or the final mod.: Currently, there is no release date. By the end of the year would be lovely, but I don't want to set dates, rush, and release a sub-par project.

Location of the mod: I have been hosted by the nice guys a Chosen of Mystra, and Shy has her own forum and workroom. I am sure if I ask Sola nice enough, he will probably give everyone access to the private workroom.

Additional Information: Naturally the down side to joining a staff for a mod is having access to spoilers. I will not give out all of them (taking notes on how SConrad and BobTokyo did the original relase of Hublepot, so if you are one of the few who thinks my mod sounds interesting and you want to play it need not worry. While some of the inter party banter will be spoiled, I plan to keep a few things secret.

I think it goes without saying this is a non-paying project, and all you will really get out of helping is (hopefully) a feeling of self satisfaction, and mentioned on the readme/forum/website when it is released (as well as me being extremely greatful).

If you are looking to write, I do ask that you send me a sample dialogue via PM here, or at CoM. I am not looking for a novel, but maybe a quick banter with one of the Bioware NPCs, or <CHARNAME> with either Shy or Tytlebaum will increase your chance of getting 'hired'. I will appeciate every offer of help, but this may be the last mod I make, and I plan to go out with a bang.
