Hail adventurers! I've been seriously contemplating over this ever since I've started playing D&D, and I've come down to this: I want in! I want to join Wizards of the Coast in their escapade to make D&D and Magic: The Gathering a greater company. I have millions of ideas (thank you voices in my head) and I have thus-far proven myself to be a great judge on many occasions (mostly in MTG, but also as DM). I could do so much for this company, and I would do what it takes to become a part of Wizards!
P.S. Yes, I DO have skitzophrenia, but the docs say that D&D settles it to almost nothing but "ideas". ^.^;

Don't want to busrt your bubble there, but I believe that most or all of the people here have thought about joining the writing staff of TSR/Wizards of the Coast at one point or another in their lifetime. We ALL have great ideas, we ALL would be thrilled to actually get paid to write D&D. My suggestion is, if you really want to get noticed, don't just talk about it on some message board... Write some actual stuff and send it to Wizards, with a curriculum. Who knows?

I agree with everything Ultradan said.
(We have skitzophrenia also)

Drake_Ranger - the best place to start is with Dragon and Dungeon. Download the writer's guidelines for each magazine, then put all those ideas to work. Good luck.
@Dan: ROFL. Thanks for the chuckle. :)

Start by getting your degree in english. Good writing and editing skills are the base requirments. Idea's are cool and all but everyone has them - focus on getting the skill set down.
There is no way I would want a job in the gaming industry. Sure, I wouldn't mind getting an adventure or article published and getting a few bucks for it, but to actually have to work at D&D....no freaking way! What a sure way to ruin a great hobby.
