I just thought I'd put this here since there are so many qualified applicants here (and many more who think they are.)
https://jobs.games-workshop.com/2017/07/31/rules-writer-nottingham-uk/.
Why just complain about the rules when you can change them? It should be one of us. Dakka members in Merrie Olde England ought to apply.

Yeah they phoned them in from the pub after one too many.
Dave - "How do we make 40k more fun?"
Brian - "More models are fun. Lets give Space Marines more models!"
Dave - "Only thing better than more models are free models!"
Brian - "Yeah, lets give them free gak!"
Dave - "Great idea. Phoning it through now - Give Space Marines free gak!"
Brian - "Speaking of free gak,"
Dave - "Yeaj?"
Brian - "It's your round..."
I think that's how it went.

Nottingham's not a bad place to live. Some crime there, but a good music scene and some decent pubs. Plus, the whole area is wargames central, so once you're finished with GW for the day, you could cross the street and visit the HQ of Warlord Games.

Why would you think it is a joke that you have to work in Nottingham, where their HQ is situated?

warboss - heh, cheap shots punching up are still funny. The "timing" in your phrasing made it.
Mecha, yeah, I can only expect that a company like that would hire locally first. Being an international employee, they'd need to deal with all the paperwork vouching for you as as a foreign resident, or they'd need to deal with the inconvenience of you working from a different time zone and not be able to be in the same office, and the difficulty of those hoops is multiplied by the normal risks of any new employee not following through. Basically, unless you blew the competition out of the water, they'll go with ease over someone a little better.

I'm actually used to all that stuff considering sometimes I'm asked to work freelance for a company outside of my country.
But I am also all too familiar with tax incentives that block anyone who doesn't live locally from getting a job. Vancouver is even more draconian depending on which company you apply to, as unless they're really pressed for people they won't hire you unless you're already a resident of the place (and simply saying you're willing to move isn't good enough. They apparently only get the tax break if you're already a resident).

I applied to the previous one, for the Specialist Games studio. Would have applied to this one too had I known about it.
For that one, I received a 5-part evaluation assignment. Because of that, I knew a few weeks ahead of time that Necromunda would follow 8th edition rules, but I was being all professional and kept my mouth shut.
Just got my rejection letter today.
