[QUOTE="Trainz, post: 1741453, member: 2122"] I wholeheartedly agree. Being the project leader of Cooperative Dungeons, I must warn you about that idea. It is great in concept to use them for such a purpose, but they actually need the editing and administrative responsibilities of full-fledged publishing companies. Some have said that these adventures are even better (in substance and format) than some of what you can buy (PDF or print). My point is, they take a lot of effort. As you can see, we have yet to deliver the next one (CD3) because of some editing problems. It's one thing to create one, it's another thing altogether to make bundles of them, and still expect quality. Hell, I even had to deal with something akin (but to a much smaller degree) to what Morrus is dealing with right now with CD's ! And, again, all of this for no profit. I would consider such a venture only with a [i]carte blanche [/i]and tight reigns, which would actually hinder the "communal" feel of it all. That said, ENworld publishing does create profitable products, many of which are made by ENworlders, and a portion of that money goes back to pay for ENworld's expanses, so maybe that venue is already tapped. My two coppers... Anyways, I also feel that if the Ennies are turning the whole thing ugly, maybe one should stop feeding the mouth that bites back. The Ennies are mostly a form of "payback" to the publishers, so, hell, if they don't want the gift, let's not give it to them. [/QUOTE]
