[QUOTE="Connorsrpg, post: 6832737, member: 19265"] WE are aiming to get some products on the DMGuild. Unfortunately, we don't have a PDF layout sorted so we have missed the flying start :( We were initially going to start with PWYW products, but I really have no idea what to do now ;) On ENWorld there is a thread stating paying artists what they are worth and overall the vibe of the thread was very positive. People seemed to be willing to do so. Yet here we are talking about writers and publishers and people seem quite happy to leave $0. I know that is a possibility if you go PWYW, but I am sure most people do so b/c they 'don't literally know what to charge'. It just seems a pity members of the RP community don't seem to feel the same way about rewarding the writers/publishers as artists. Of course that is the gig, but man, considering what a coffee costs these days, you would think more than about 1 in 10 (worse for some products, slightly better for others, like the OP) roleplayers (and fellow DMs that know how much time these things take) would be willing to pitch in a little. I am quite shocked to tell the truth. I know it is easy to say, "well, the writer has allowed this" but man, I find this a little sad to tell the truth. Especially as many writers/publishers have stated they would even be happy to be paid in reviews. Surely, we as a buying audience can support each other a little better than that. (FWIW.
