[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8211335, member: 59816"] Bummer. I guess that's why I've never taken a serious look at anything on DMs guild. (I probably knew that at some point, and I've forgotten over the years). I've kickstarted a bunch of RPGs and tabletop products, though. It's a shame that you can't use both models. DMs guild is more community-based, which I like the idea of, but Kickstarter is more business-based, which is more useful to me (even though I prefer smaller community to bigger business, if you know what I mean). Yeah, I don't think that's a problem. I have little interest in marking stuff up from retail. In spite of being a comic store guy, I hate what I feel is "gouging" unknowing customers when they could get the book themselves cheaper directly. (Within reason, obviously, I'm not a foolish businessman). Still, like you say, it's a huge part of ebay and Amazon and other markets. There's no way to enforce anything against it, and I doubt that anyone would want to. I'm sure Nix just means that DMs guild is designed for direct sales and they don't want to get into selling the books at stores, so they have made it against-the-rules. [/QUOTE]
