[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 6803933, member: 2067"] I think if you're deeply serious about your own company, you want to go OGL, and not the Guild. WotC and DriveThru eating up half of your pay-what-you-want revenues, controlling your storefront, and limiting your IP aren't going to make anyone filthy rich. Heck, "break even" might be a challenge. ;) Which isn't to say there's not professionals on there. [MENTION=82545]dnoonan[/MENTION] 's put out some stuff, for instance. Just that it's not likely to be an entire company, just some freelancing individuals with a love of the game and some stuff they want to put out. It's not even impossible for some fans to band together and crowdfund a fan project. It's just not something you'd probably tether a [I]company[/I] to. I don't imagine it's something that will pay for the living expenses of actual employees. But maybe! Maybe there's bank being spent out there in DM's Guild Land.
