I am afraid that the dirty little secret is that, well, RPG writing pays like crap (sorry grandma). There isn't enough money involved for any agent to bother wanting 10-15% of. You will have to sell your work yourself.I would suggest you look at different publishers and try to decide which might best fit your book. Then send a letter describing it to them (email is okay for this, just make certain you find out exactly who to send the proposal to). Your letter should include a brief outline and you should tell how many words (it sounds like you've already written it). You should also provide a good idea of what you think the market is. If you are an unproven writer in the present market I would expect about $.005 per word or a % of net profits. I should warn you that a lot of publishers are essentially dropping plans for d20 material at this time as they wait for 4e and to see what the 4e OGL is going to be like. It also sounds like your book might have a very limited market. These are all factors a publisher has to take into consideration. Art, layout, etc. even for a .pdf are expensive.I'd tell you more, but I have to go ...Patrick</blockquote>
