[QUOTE="Darrin Drader, post: 990516, member: 7394"] No flak here. First of all, we should all respect the fact that cats are the superior life form on this planet [DUH!]. Second, I've seen far too much money raised on these boards for various reasons, sometimes having nothing to do with gaming, to even think twice about this. I won't be bidding because I don't need/want another copy of any of these books, but like boschdevil, I would like to know how to make a small contribution. I would like to think others would do the same for my cat if the need arose. Finally, I would like to point out that at the entry level with most major RPG publishers, you get paid approximately 5 cents per word. A racial write-up or original monster would average around 700 words. Since Sean K. is an experienced designer and was part of WotC R&D until recently, I would expect him to make closer to 10 cents per word. Regardless, even at 5 cents per word and a 700 word piece of work, that's a value of around $35 - or roughly the MSRP on any of the items he is selling. I would challenge anyone questioning his ego or methods to question their own motives. [/QUOTE]
