Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dykstrav" data-source="post: 5648613" data-attributes="member: 40522">I've been discussing an idea with some of my gamer friends about how to sell and distribute setting content. Here's the gist.The idea is to post a website with the setting material on it, free of charge. You can view and download the setting material, and perhaps even go so far as to have a collaborative wiki sort of thing where people can post things from their own home campaigns. If certain events reach a "critical mass," the setting would be updated to reflect that.For example... If the group captures a certain bandit lord, they could note it in the description of the NPC on the site and describe their group's experiences with it. Once there were a bunch of groups that had defeated that bandit and noted it, the setting's designers could use those anecdotes to guide the setting's canon--the bandit is "officially" captured, killed, whatever. Conversely... If too few groups participate (or too many groups fail) in an adventure to thwart a demonic cult's plot, the cult's plot comes to fruition--that also becomes canon, based on feedback and input from various groups playing that adventure.The revenue would come from selling adventures through the site. Say, $5.00-10.00 for a decent-sized adventure covering a level or two of play, or perhaps $5.00 for a shorter adventure covering about half a level (this is approximately the pricing structure for Pathfinder Society scenarios, I'm just using it as a ballpark figure). In various entries throughout the site, you'd find references to what element appears in what adventure... "The Red Bandit appears in module B5, Bandits of the Granite Mountains." This would give you the benefit of finding adventures related to elements of the setting that you enjoy, or simply distinguishing them by geography. Of course, you could also search adventures by level, monster types, and general adventure types (dungeon crawl, city intrigue, wilderness exploration, et cetera).Does this sound like a product that anyone would be interested in? Thoughts?</blockquote>
