    Explain Burning Wheel to me

    That has to be a pretty good response to statement ratio. :) If it was not obvious I was joking. In truth I am closer to your camp than anyone on the Forge. Bill

    Tell me about the Iridium system, and Roma Imperious

    Wow. I don't think I have ever had anyone complain about the organization of Roma. It has an Index, Table of Contents, sidebars and crossreferences. That said, organization of books is one of those very subjective things. Some people like it, some do not. hmm, first time I have had Iridium...

    I don't know if this is useful but I did up a handy-dandy diagram and got a couple of folks input on it. The Link 25K PDF Good Luck, Bill

    RPGNow vs. DriveThruRPG?

    We actually work with both. The biggest difference to me is RPGNow has a truly impressive suite of tools for publishers (not really seen by customers) and DTRPG is the equivalent of banging the rocks together. As has been stated, you get a lot of print customers through DTRPG but the volume of...

    Publishers that don't add indexes--RANT

    Hmm, I use FM7 and it works very well. I guess if all you will be doing it a five page pdf with an expected sell through of 30 copies you would be better off indexing by hand and using your fav word processor. For the near 15 books I have done I have found little incentive to move to InDesign...

    Publishers that don't add indexes--RANT

    I index, TOC and cross-reference any of my books over 64 pages in length. Those under 64 pages I do a detailed TOC and still cross-reference. Heck, even our HTML versions have index, TOC and cross-reference. Bill

    OGC Wiki?

    So very sorry. That is not the way it is supposed to be. I have fixed it and it should be working correctly. My big bad. Also, that was only the Tales of Gaea HTML. Shades and Neb should be working fine. Thanks, Bill

    OGC Wiki?

    Well, yes, the entire BOOKS (I am working on Roma, my bad there). I have had customers who could not look over the book at theirt LGS due to shrink wrapping/no LGS or many other bizarre conditions including one store that kept Roma under the counter as explicit material. I have the HTML versions...

    OGC Wiki?

    Interesting. Our books are available for free in HTML format on our site. It has, if anything, improved our sales. People are able to look and then decide if it is worth it to buy. I could be wrong and it has cost us hundreds of units in terms of sales. :) Bill

    OGC Wiki?

    Well, my point really has been argued out earlier in the thread so I will try to be brief. I publish material under the OGL. I read the the OGL and the first thing that popped into my head was that if I published under the OGL all my material (that I declare open) could be released for free. In...

    OGC Wiki?

    Phil, I would not call you an idiot in any manner. To be honest, I respect your stand on this subject, I just have never fully understood it. I apporach the OGL as a means to an end. I use on the SRD. I appreciate that the spirit of the OGL, at least on the surface, was for reuse and improvement...

    OGC Wiki?

    Phil, I honestly have never understood this. I have done OGL on three of my books. I EXPECT that people will reprint it (entirely or in parts) and it is part of my plan. I do not understand publihsers who object to this. If you don't want it to happen, then use a different license or publish...
