Never even thought of publishing one, they were all for my group, players, or my own personal enjoyment, until the project Wik mentioned (which I also enjoyed). So I've been slowly putting a couple into an acceptable publication format.But with my current workload and projects inviolving both non-fiction and fiction which are going to publishers, I couldn't say how long getting an RPG whipped into a professional formating structure would take, or how much time I'd want to devote to something like that right now. It would be well down on my list of important projects. One thing I definitely know, I'd wanna undertake an entirely different arrangement structure than is typical with most RPG books (i.e. the manual format) if I did do one. I'm not much impressed by the standard industry formatting and layout design of most RPG books. The "manual format" to me makes the games far less like role play games and far more like technical briefings. And many times not very good ones at that. So I'd steer clear of that.I've experimented with possible layout structures that range from real (or typical) book layouts, to forms I've invented that are crosses between illuminated manuscripts and new media forms. But I haven't really fixed on anything definite yet. And like I said that could be a very long time away with my other work.Now I have written and published training simulations which involved role play, but that was always for specific clients and involved tightly controlled circulation venues. Sometimes for security purposes, sometimes because my clients wanted that material to remain entirely proprietary. So I've published simulation-rpg works, but nothing like for mass markets.Anywho, another day, another dollar, meetings, and other such crap, and I'm pretty much wiped out.</blockquote>
