I vote SHARK should publish

Also if you want to publish something you shouldn't share the stuff on a public message board--ideas get stolen that way.

I'm working on a campaign setting that's hopefully unique and forms its own niche in all the published settings out there. I plan on publishing it someday when I feel the industry is ready. Right now I feel its too saturated, too many contenders. If you don't believe me go down to the nearest gaming store and stand in front of the shelf containing their RPGs and d20 stuff, you'll see what I mean.

But on the other hand...
Thank you SHARK for sharing all of your ideas. You've definitely got talent. And I think you should publish what you have if you think its feasible. You've provided me with inspiration (if anything, the drive to put off procrastination and work on my campaign setting).

No, I haven't taken any of your stuff as my own. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

Plus, he TOTALLY understands how it's okay for a Paladin to kill Orc babies!


........ what, no one agrees with me. Fine, I'm off lads....
 

And basically, until you have enough publishing clout, you should not try to publish your baby at all if you intend to use it again. The legal hassles of handling who owns what 10 years down the line when the author wants to write a novel and the company wants to print an excerpt from the game book is way too complicated to be worth it unless it's something that you know is a surefire hit.

Why, by the way, is it standard to sign over exclusive rights to your work? (Or isn't it standard?) I think that's what bothers most creative types.
 


your thread has served a purpose other then just stroking shark's ego, i have never actually seen his stuff, i will now check it out. thank you in advance for pointing me in an entertaining direction.

I'd shell out the cash for a well-presented, full-color hardcover sourcebook with skilled and tasteful artwork.

A book from SHARK with skilled and tasteful artwork? Perish the thought and bring me another slice of that delicious looking cheesecake.

Thanks.

Who would win, Piratecat or SHARK? Interesting question...

SHARK if I was choosing.

Psionics aren't my thing.

SHARK's incredibly detailed game world and rich writing style, however are.

SHARK won me over with his "witch hunter" class.

To answer the original question, yes, SHARK should publish!
I would love having a well illustred sorcebook with all the SHARK's goodies, or even SHARK's campaign world!
