Game Designer / Dungeon Master

The Role
  • This is one of the most unique roles in existence. After all, how many tech companies have a full-time Dungeon Master on their roster? And why?
  • We have a community of developers (aka geeks) and we give them Quests, which are month-long co-op Slack-based games designed to help them get energized and do more of what they love and get more productive.
  • You can read about a very outdated Quest we made around fitness here: https://x-team.com/blog/fit-quest-our-slack-survival-fitness-game/ (We do much better ones now, just no time to write about them!)
  • Another example is a Spy Quest that encourages people to work outside of their home, sending them to cafes and malls to ‘hack’ security cameras and ‘plant devices’ (take a pic of your discreetly placed “microphone coffee cup”) or ‘hack an ATM’ (take a photo of an ATM), all while trying to help catch high profile targets.
  • The closest similarity to all of this is Habitica: https://habitica.com/ But less lame and way more epic.
  • You’ll be responsible for, each month, coming up with a new quest, playing as the GM/DM on it, compiling graphics you’ll need for it (some Photoshop experience is a big plus here), writing minor storyline to help the quest progress, and creating all the mechanics that make it super fun to play with everyone while completing “real world” tasks.
  • You’ll report to the CEO, our chief geek.
The Pay:
  • Up to $15 per hour ($2,400 per month) based on experience and written English capability.
  • $2,500 per year budget given to every X-Teamer which can be used for various activities which help you learn, grow and get energized. Examples include: gym membership, fresh produce, courses, conferences, babysitter, games, and more.
About You:
  • Aspiring game designer looking to start building some experience in game design.
  • Beloved dungeon master/game master who loves getting a group of friends together for an epic quest.
  • Passion for all or most of these: travel, gaming, tech, movies, fitness, photography, music, mental health.
  • Extensive knowledge of games, especially tabletop games, and ability to adapt their mechanics into Quests.
Personal:
  • Independent, self-motivated
  • Fluent in written English
  • Proactive attitude
  • Possess a spirit of generosity
Perks:
  • Live and work in one of our roaming hacker houses (X-Outposts) around the world.
  • Work from anywhere as part of a community of digital nomads.
  • Join our vibrant community, filled with opportunities to learn new skills together in study groups, join clubs (photography, gaming, etc.) and get free camera equipment/games/conferences/courses/massages/etc., charitable fundraisers, fitness & yoga programs (+gym membership), etc. This is the community to be in if you work remote.
  • We’ll provide up to $2,500 in funding for your learning and growth through our Unleash program, which provides opportunities to unleash your potential through initiatives that help you grow as a developer and explore your passions more each day.
