How much money?If someone (or a group) writes an adventure for your company and you can't find someone to "publish" it, do they get paid? Do you publish it? Can they shop it around on their own? Is it going to be print? pdf? is payment by word, royalty, or % of profit?Sorry, I just think that before you try to propose something this involved you really need to sit down and create a solid business plan that addresses all of the "details." I am not saying you have to be in it to "get rich" but, in my experience, anyone planning a company without worries about "making money" not only doesn't make money, they lose it in droves and go out of business.You need to find out if you have a market (will companies purchase what you want to sell) etc. What charges will that market bear? Does this amount of money cover your projected expenses?In general, if a company is going to publish something THEY want control over it. They will want to do the editing, rules editing, etc. I have a hard time seeing you able to set up a company that does the writing for other companies' books. A company that takes care of the artwork, sure, development, possibly, authorship? um, not so sure.Sorry, I really am not trying to be mean, but I just don't see a viable business plan here. What I see is an "idea" that sounds like it might be nice, until you start hitting details. I think if you sit down and try to plan it out, talk to companies you'd want to sell/write for, etc. that you'll find it isn't viable.Patrick</blockquote>
