[QUOTE="darjr, post: 6333864, member: 52905"] Subscription. I'd subscribe to a printed magazine of some sort. Or a on going fleshing out of several campaign settings, say a quarterly that useful bits of the Forgotten Realms, or Greyhawk, or planescape, or spelljammer or any of a number of settings. Maybe do a quarterly that keeps adding to a sandbox. Or mix them all up and change it up. Adventures mostly, small and large. That's what I'd pay for on an ongoing basis. The goodman games kickstarter style has been successfully making me a customer.... but I don't think that could be sustainable long term. Really I think the best plan is to bump the RPG with a needed or desired product occasionally, also feed the public play, like encounters, with good quality stuff that is also for sale to others, and use the IP to fuel other products. I'd pay about $3 an adventure for the non-encounters public play portion. Not much, but It could help and help make the adventures better. For instance a couple more board games could be cool. A coop game building a dungeon would be really cool, maybe a dungeon I could later use in an RPG game. A TV series would be great. A movie would be even better (a good one!). Does the on line game make money? Did the iphone/android game(s?)? Oh and go to the places that people likely to find D&D interesting and fun and market. Computer conventions, maybe have quick two/one hour little adventures that folks could sit down at and play at things like the hacker cons or even comcast or E3. More gaming presence at PAX and Comic Con. Really help public play at little and large conventions around the country/world, at least as much support, in total, as is spent on encounters. Those cons are always in need of more and would be grateful. I do think there are a lot of people out there that would enjoy D&D that haven't really been given a chance to try it in a comfortable and inviting setting. Game groups are notoriously hard to boot from scratch and maintain. Supporting folks doing that would be a huge boon. Grow the market this way. Get Will Wheaton or someone as entertaining to put together a youtube channel and produce great shows about and for D&D, not necessarily people playing but little pieces of fiction or art would be amazing.
