If you can get a decent Kickstarter going, then this isn't going to be a lot of money. The main reason not to is likely to be benefits etc. - I dunno how good at they are at WotC, but I imagine they're not bad. That and in theory you've got more steady work, which may well be good for people with families etc.But I'd be surprised if they were intending to offer near the minimum with a range like this. I think they're more likely to be intending to offer an amount commensurate with the level of experience the candidate they prefer has. You generally don't want to insult people by lowballing them on salary when you put a salary range, unless they're clearly underqualified to for the role but for some reason you want to hire them anyway.</blockquote>
