[QUOTE="Akrasia, post: 3017400, member: 23012"] Do you have [i]any[/i] justification for making these claims? Do you know what rates TLG pays people who write modules for them? Authors who have worked for Necromancer Games and Goodman Games are writing C&C material for TLG. I would thus assume that TLG is willing to pay authors at comparable rates to NG and GG (both established d20 publishers). Furthermore, it is not clear to me why one could not get TLG's permission to produce material for C&C without giving TLG control over what you produce. TLG does [i]not[/i] own or have 'control' over the two modules that Goodman Games has produced for C&C. James Mishler (an author who has written for Necromancer Games, and a major contributor to their Wilderlands products) will be producing new material for the Wilderlands setting for C&C, with a new company of his own creation. He has permission to use C&C for his products from TLG, but (as far as I can tell) has [i]complete control[/i] over the content of his products. (For more infor: [url]http://p105.ezboard.com/fnecromancergamesfrm40.showMessage?topicID=380.topic[/url] .) I can certainly understand why someone would prefer to write something for OSRIC instead of C&C (viz. a preference for OAD&D rules over C&C, and/or a desire to avoid paying for TLG's permission to use C&C). But I very much doubt that one could expect to make more money self-publishing something for OSRIC over writing a C&C product for TLG. And it certainly is not impossible to retain control over one's products when writing for C&C. Sorry for the tangent, but your comments regarding TLG seemed both unjustified and snarky. [/QUOTE]
