I started CGW in February of this year, and it's eaten way more time that I thought it would (and far less time than I hoped I'd be able to give it). From there, the details are fairly well laid out in the e-publisher guide PDF's available through RPGnow. Your local council/government agency may also have a small business guide available, so it could be worth contacting them and asking what services they have for fledgling business start-ups. Most of them probably wont be all that interested if you're only doing things on a hobby level, but they can at least point you in the direction of relevant tax laws for your state and country. The best advice you can get, however, is to ask yourself whether what you really want is to write and see your products in print or become a publisher. If it's the former, try shopping your ideas around to a few PDF and print publishers before going it alone - they can take care of the hassles, and you can focus on creating products.</blockquote>
