[QUOTE="Calico_Jack73, post: 1536358, member: 14403"] I'm going to respond to this and I really hope you don't take any offense to it as none is intended. Is writing these PDF role-playing supplements your only source of income? Did you honestly come into the business hoping to become the next Gygax and actually make a decent living off of writing role-playing supplements in such a easy to steal format? I've kicked around the idea of publishing an RPG supplement of my own but I'd never dream of quitting my day job. I'd be happy if people pirated my material, I'd be happy that it was just being read and appreciated. I like your little idea of putting out a coded PDF... I'd probably do the same just to see how many people thought it was worth downloading. If I make a little money doing it then great but the main reason I'd do it is for the love of the game, not to make money on it. I always thought that the majority of PDF publishers went into their project understanding that their work WILL be pirated... there is no way around it and that because they understood it that they were doing it because it was something that they always wanted to do rather than becoming a full time career choice.
