[QUOTE="HalWhitewyrm, post: 1933495, member: 4046"] A question to those who sell their PDFs in places other than RPGnow.com: Has it been worth it? For example, Ronin Arts and The Le Games sell their PDFs (at least some of them) at CreationCrash.com; Creative Mountain Games sells theirs at their own website via PayPal, and I'm sure there are others that I don't know about. Has it really been worth splitting up your sales outlet? RPGnow.com doesn't have an exclusivity clause as draconian as DTRPG.com, requiring only that you not have links to the company website, and from comments Phil has made in other threads, Ronin Arts is so well established that he doesn't really need the links as people just know where to go, but I wonder if this would be a wortht pursuit for a lesser known publisher. I can certainly see benefits to it, as you probably have lower fees to worry about, or even no fees at all (which I imagine is the case of CMG, where products on their page are cheaper than at RPGnow.com). What are your thoughts on the matter? Is it really something worth pursuing, and what does it entail? What are the alternate outlets out there? And doesn't this hurt RPGnow.com, in the end, a place that has been incredibly good to our segment of the industry? [SIZE=1]Edit: Fixed typo.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
