In all very genuine and honest earnestness if anyone out there is paying 25-30c/word (decent technical writer pay) for 10+K words of mechanical #ttrpg writing please let me know I want to work for them exclusively.

This is my wheelhouse. I am extremely good at it. I will write you the best rules you& #39;ve ever read.

The general rub here is that I& #39;m not sure anyone is paying that rate for assignments that large. Which some people might say is unnecessary, and they might be right. I& #39;m putting that figure out there because that& #39;s about a month& #39;s worth of work

I could live for a month on $2500-3000.
A smaller assignment at the same rate is great! But $300 won& #39;t pay my living expenses. And especially not if that& #39;s the only opportunity I find at that rate this year.

When one receives pay for contract work is another chestnut entirely, though.
