[QUOTE="Shalimar, post: 3137251, member: 9600"] The players already did roleplay things out though, they rolplayed getting the book deal signed. People seem to ignore that. What the player was getting at, was that they had done their part and it was up to the DM to tell them if the book ended up succeeding or not. At that point I would have no clue what the DM wanted since how well the book sells is up to the public, unless the DM wanted the player to buy up all the copies or something foolish like that its really on the DM to just flat out say how well the book does, and that is not something that a character could control, good books fail all the time its just luck, and the Boss was already whining about their expenses so its not likely he would have agreed to doing promos that would have cost more money. People want to keep looking at the over all issue and are ignoring what actually happened to discuss the issue outside of the context of the situation. If you want to ignore the situation and discuss the larger issue, cool, just say that is what you are doing. [/QUOTE]
