I think the challenges of organising would be significant. That's not to say no one should try; but expert advice from those who have experience would probably be a help.Given that a lot of RPG production is by self-employed individuals (perhaps using a corporate structure) I think that [USER=6670763]@Yora[/USER]'s idea of a producers' collective also makes sense.Re what the market will bear: yesterday my partner and I went to a film. We paid $20.50 each for tickets, and another $11 (I think it was) for choctops. That's a bit over $50.I paid about that much for a copy of John Harper's excellent Agon 2nd ed. I think there is probably some scope to step up expectations of outlay for RPG products.</blockquote>
