    What's a Freelance RPG Writer Worth?

    Not sure who is guaranteeing anything, I don't remember specifically reading a post with a guarantee. Comments that even with a crappy product/ supplement you may make a few dollars sure. I think the whole point of the article in the first place is that those looking into freelancing need to...

    What's a Freelance RPG Writer Worth?

    But it is overall a reasonable option for those that want to try their hand at writing and game design. Whether or not it is good, bad, or just bland is indifferent. As pointed out from the article itself, the wages of freelance writing for a small to moderate gaming publisher will be limited...

    What's a Freelance RPG Writer Worth?

    I think that is the whole point the article is trying to make, a freelance writer isn't something for the faint of heart. And I agree that Sales does not equal profit compared to the time spent actually making something. Either you have the passion and willingness to spend the time knowing...

    What's a Freelance RPG Writer Worth?

    I agree whole-heartedly with this. Even if you have to put some free stuff out there (which I have quite a bit), people will take because of that fact. Just don't be disappointment when numbers for free stuff doesn't = real sales numbers. Honestly I get about 1 in 10 $ sale versus free...

    What's a Freelance RPG Writer Worth?

    Given the relative ease to self publish, I don't see why a free lancer wouldn't want to go that route (self-publish). Granted, if your forte is not layout or art there are templates and free or reasonably priced stock art out there that can be used. If you are semi-serious in becoming a...

    What's a Freelance RPG Writer Worth?

    I bet. But bottom line is that there are more costs per book for a physical book that does not get factored in for a PDF. I have a hard time coughing up more than $10 for a single PDF. I guess to play devil's advocate, you are paying for convenience with PDF in that you don't have to carry...

    What's a Freelance RPG Writer Worth?

    As a tiny (one person) publisher/writer/artist I have been approached once by another free lance writer with some ideas he would be willing to create for my company and I knew there was no way I could afford him so I turned him down but thanked him for presenting the opportunity. As with many...

    Pathfinder 1E A death & dying system that can't skip Dying

    Looking through the original Player's Handbook (both original and revised) the only reference I could find regarding this is under damage and it states that when any creature reaches 0 or negative hit points it is dead (pg 107 original PHB). Searched the original DMG and found the reference...

    Pathfinder 1E A death & dying system that can't skip Dying

    Back in the Day 0 HP was dead, period Game is complicated enough why add even more rules for something that most players should avoid anyway. D&D, 1st Ed AD&D, and 2nd Ed AD&D 0 hp was dead. That is over 20 years where characters died per the rules as written. Not against the negative HP...

    Pathfinder 1E I get the feeling Paizo isn't worried about Wizards of the Coast.

    It would be nice if the next version of the game was somewhat compatible with Pathfinder and vice versa. Biggest issue I see (as a part time tiny self publisher) is that of licensing with WotC. I love the OGL and if they can bring that back or something quite similar so that us small timers...

    Pathfinder 1E Advanced Class Guide Playtest Rules

    Glancing through the PDF and focused more on the Shaman (as that seems to be the biggest draw from earlier posts), to me it seems more like a divine witch class more than an Oracle/Witch combo. The spirit rules seem more like the Witch's patron rules than anything else plus the spirit familiar...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder in a modern or futuristic setting with psionics

    In regards to healing and loss of magic items, nano technology and other futuristic tech could easily retrofit items to a modern feel. Instead of a healing potion, pharmaceutical means can be used to quickly heal wounds and infections as well as buff Physical and Mental attributes (Steroids...
