Message: <blockquote data-quote="Janx" data-source="post: 1964397" data-attributes="member: 8835">Hi,So at long last, I finished my pet project, Gear Cards.I had a thread a while back where I got some help on EnWorld on fleshing out my idea:<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?p=1822252#post1822252" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?p=1822252#post1822252</a>Now it's pretty much done (aside from one last proof-read by the Mrs. because she has a BS in Journalism...).For those wondering what I'm babbling about, here's a summary:I've made a document that I want to release as a PDFThis document is a set of gear cards, in much the same style as The Game Mechanics and The Other Game Company's card series (I emulated their style).I've got d20 logo and license, intro text, etc.  I've even got place-holders for a publisher's name and logo.The last real steps, are:proof it for legality (make sure I used the license properly)stick a proper logo on itConvert it to PDF and verify the layout workedMAYBE put form fields in the right spots (for a really groovy blank card template)release it as a freebie PDF (because that's what you do with blank template cards)I would like to work with a publisher who has experience in this, rather than forming my own imprint (and adding to the "yet another vanity publisher" throng).I think I did a pretty good job with my document, so I'm hoping it's a light lift for a publisher with some experience.Personally, I think my product would appeal to TOGC, or Malhavoc (we know Monte loves gear cards).  But there are other good companies out there who may be interested in putting their name on this.What's in it for you (you being a publisher)?Well, you get another product with your name on it, with a minimal amount of work (compared to a from scratch project).  Perhaps we form a business relationship and I may be able to write for you again in the future.  It's also a chance to add value to the d20 fans by providing a product that has not yet been supplied.  A future product would be gear cards from the SRD for specific items, which would logically be sold (following the TOGC business model).I figure the next step is, a publisher will post to this thread, saying they're interested in talking about my little project.  I can then show them the project file, and they can assess if they want to go ahead or back out.  I assume nobody's going to "steal my idea" or at least have the decency not to pirate my work.Thanks for your time,Janx</blockquote>
