Message: <blockquote data-quote="smilinggm" data-source="post: 1731001" data-attributes="member: 2394">I do not post here much but after reading this thread I would  like to point out a 3rd party  D20 publisher that has come upon a different but so far successful model:  Paradigm Concepts.  <a href="http://www.Paradigmconcepts.com" target="_blank">www.Paradigmconcepts.com</a>Paradigm Concepts is the company behind Living Arcanis.  Living Arcanis is one of the RPGA's faststestes growing living campaings. Paradigm Concetps started life by creating their own campaign world, then they published 2 classic modules and a sourcebook of their world.  Next Paradigm released a classic RPGA  module.  Thier next step was in Creating a new RPGA living campaing.  Over the past 3 years the number of people playing in this campaign have grown by leaps and bounds each year.  At this years GenCon Indy LA held one of the single largest evnets at the con and they LA shows no signs of slowing down. Over the past 3 years Paradigm has currently  released  70 moduled that are free to download via the RPGA and on average 2 new modules are released each month.   All of these free modules are set in the world of Arcanis The world of Shattered Empires. The modules are tiered for play for 4-6 characters from 1st - 13th level and they are designed to be played in 4-5 hours.  (As a side not, the higest level characters in the campaign are only 13th level. All that you have to do to download on of the modules is to goin the RPGA, and then take the Herald level test. The modules build a story and they should be played in order to enjoy the story.)  The free modules have driven Paradigm's sales.  Typically after playing only 1 or 2 of these free mods the player then starts to buy the published campaign material.        In addition to Living Arcanis (LA) Paradigm Concepts has also teamed up with Green Ronin Publishing to produce the OGL interlink series.  And Green Ronin's Freeport is "officaially" placed in Arcanis, and several of the LA mods have taken place in Freeport.   And on top of all this they are working with AEG to publish material under the Spycraft banner.  Admidittly Paragdim is a small but growing publisher.  But there model of publishing free modules via the RPGA is working for them.</blockquote>
