About Goodman Games
Goodman Games is your source for adventures! We are the industry leader
in RPG adventures, publishing popular lines like Dungeon
Crawl Classics, Judges Guild, and Wicked
Fantasy Factory. We also publish role playing games such as Etherscope,
Xcrawl,
Broncosaurus
Rex, and DragonMech. Goodman Games products
are available in thousands of game stores worldwide, and have been translated
into German, Portuguese, and Italian.
Goodman Games was founded in 2001 by Joseph Goodman. We are based out
of Chicago, IL. You can meet our staff every year at Gen Con. In the past
we have also attended Origins, Dundracon, Kublacon, Pentacon, and other
regional conventions. We sponsor popular open
tournaments at Gen Con each year, and our tournament modules have become
well known.

Submission Guidelines
Goodman Games accepts submissions from the general public. We are always
interested in original ideas for new games. We specialize in role playing
games and adventure modules, and are most likely to consider submissions
of that nature. However, we have published a variety of non-RPG products
in the past and are always open to innovative new designs.
When making a game submission, please be sure to start with a query
letter. Queries for adventure modules should be no longer than two pages,
and include the title, plot, major themes, a summary of key encounter areas,
and a list of new crunchy bits. Queries for other products should be of
a similar nature. Please include a list of published credits, as well as
a sample that shows your ability to complete the project you are proposing.
You should be able to summarize your submission in one succinct sentence.
(For example: "DragonMech: medieval fantasy mechs powered by steam, magic,
or the labor of a thousand slaves.")
We evaluate submissions on both content as well as ability to execute.
For RPG submissions, this means we look at not only the idea, but also
how much editing your work may require, and how confident we are that you
can complete the assignment in a timely manner.
Game submissions should be sent to harley@goodman-games.com
or our mailing address (above), and must be accompanied by a signed copy
of our Idea Submission Agreement.
We are not currently in need of additional art help, but we are always
willing to review portfolios for our files should something come up in
the future. To submit art work for consideration, please send a link to
your web site to info@goodman-games.com.
If you must send attachments, please do not send more than 2 MB worth.
Do not send us original art in the mail!
