[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7696411, member: 22779"] How the times have changed. Once upon a time, Adventures (or Modules) were seen more or less as a loss leader. One of the big expectations of the 3e OGL is that we'd see modules mostly coming from 3pp because they were considered too small for WotC to bother with. :D Now, in the age of Paizo, adventures are "mass appeal products". Funny how the "conventional" wisdom has shifted. What I would truly be curious about though is how much penetration are these DMsGuild products getting? I had a pretty strong suspicion that most of the OGL material in 3e was being seen by a very small, but very vocal, group of gamers with the overwhelming majority of gamers never even hearing about most of it, other than maybe the very top tier books. I have a gut feeling now that things like DMsGuild or Kickstarter just reaches such a tiny section of gamers. Even something like 7th Sea still only gets 10k backers. Again, most never even break a 1000. [/QUOTE]
