Or, like Chaosium, 3rd party licensees of their systems.Amazon has a number of game designers releasing through Kindle. Still pretty trivial.while it pains me to say it, the monopoly element of DTRPG is that people think it a monopoly and don't look elsewhere.-=-=-=-=-=-1: orphaned games: their parent company has died/gone out of business, and the rights holder doesn't want to try again, despite small vocal intense fanbases.</blockquote>
