[QUOTE="Krypter, post: 2612049, member: 15016"] Well, as the original poster who wanted a drow-free underdark adventure, I would love to have someone do this for me, but I don't see anyone making money off it. Bespoke production is incredibly expensive, which is why most businesses moved to assembly lines. With the market for a custom module being less than a dozen people, how could you possibly make a profit? However, perhaps an innovative business technique like the Ransom Model would make this feasible as an electronic-only product. People could bid for a custom module ("I'm offering $50 for a custom module with these specs...") and other people could pitch in variable amounts of money based on their interest ("Hmmm, I like the drow-free concept, but I don't care much for the Araumycos, so I'll pitch in only $5.") Once a set amount of bids is reached, the authors could begin work. If Denis Detwiller can convince a patron saint to fund his writing of Insylum, maybe this could work as well. [/QUOTE]
