[QUOTE="Glade Riven, post: 5793204, member: 86468"] Sorry, sometimes my late night posting has some coherance issues... Basically, my strategy for getting the setting involves "self-piracy" as marketing. Any print versions would have a low-resolution version with the fancy artwork avalible for download or torrented. Print versions would be POD. Ebook versions would be put up to an ebook vender or three. If you like it, and you feel like throwing a few bucks my way, there are options. That strategy hasn't changed. It's crazy and experimental, but if it works - awsome. If it doesn't, not a big deal. Ultimatly, the learning experiance is more valuble than the cash (although cash is nice). What has changed is making the setting less system-dependent, instead of just having it as a Pathfinder Compatable setting. So a nice fluff-only book with pretty pictures would probably be the first product. Is there demand for such fluff? Eh, maybe, maybe not. Legally speaking, I don't see an issue of having suggestions posted online on how to use the product with 4e, or 5e if 5e doesn't have something similar to OGL. I could not make new mechanics for 4e, nor copy out of the books. Essentually, it would be phrased in such a way that things are nice and vague and people would have to purchase WotC products in order to use them with the setting. I know I'm poking the boundaries of Fair Use, but I think I can get away with it. If not, I'll be getting a DMCA notice. That could get fun, but it's not something that I'm going to let get as far as court. [/QUOTE]
