[QUOTE="Nikchick, post: 2019800, member: 344"] Bwah ha hah ha ha... :lol: No gold-plated heliocopters round these parts. I think a lot of people would be surprised at the extremely modest lifestyles of even the big players in the game industry, jet-setting CCG millionaires excepted (and really, how many of those are there?). Though I will admit a fondness for sushi... :heh: I wouldn't ever suggest anyone work for royalties only, unless they're doing a project totally for love and fun and they honestly don't want to be compensated! On the other hand, Green Ronin used a "fee plus royalty" contract with several authors, to encourage that very same attitude that barsoomcore was talking about. If you do something wicked cool and it sells like gang-busters, you share in that success. "Fee plus royalty" is how Green Ronin has structured its design house work for other companies as well: we get a fee and a stepped royalty depending on how well the work is received in the marketplace. I think that's a fair system. [/QUOTE]
