[QUOTE="Myrdin Potter, post: 7881255, member: 6843593"] I have been able to do OK on PWYW, but I needed to add something extra. Here is what I did: The first products I offered were Fantasy Grounds conversions of the "standard" 5e pregenerated characters. If you are running online convention games or one shots or have a new player join and you need a quick character, sets of characters from level 1-10 are good. They also teach you how to code some abilities in Fantasy Grounds. Since I was relying on forums help and this was a conversion, I made it PWYW. Over the past few years enough people (over 50) have paid for a couple and they are now "copper" best sellers. I advertise them in the FG forums, usually right during the prep time for the semi-annual online FG-Con.
