[QUOTE="C. Baize, post: 1901478, member: 4571"] Yup. I am. Wanna know why? Because he's asking for submissions for which he's not going to pay (and that's really the main point). By definition, that makes the submission a donation. For someone to turn around and sell for profit someone else's donation ... Heh. Let's just say that we really wouldn't stand for that in any other industry unless it was a charitable organization. I agree with Skarka, though... If all the profits went toward a charity organization... Not only would the amount of submissions likely double, but you wouldn't have this murky situation at ALL. And there's also the rub... I don't care if it's White Wolf. I don't care if it's Malhavoc. I don't care who it is. It's patronizing. It's saying that this group should be held up on a pedestal by virtue of the fact that they are Malhavoc. Or they are White Wolf. And that [i]they[/i] are doing [i]you[/i] a favor by [u][i]allowing[/i][/u] you to submit material to them. :lol: Perhaps it's the fact that I'm not "starstruck" by anyone, but it just doesn't make any difference to me. Patronization is patronization, and patronization is [i]wrong[/i] my friends. Whether it's an "industry professional" or a gamer putting out free material in his spare time from his day job; at the end of the day it's still just some gamer writing for a game. As for perspective? Here's some perspective for you: Author {A} submits work to Monte. Author {A} doesn't get paid for submission. Monte puts author {A}'s product in a book. Monte gets paid for the book. Who makes out in this deal? .... It ain't the author... [opinion] Neither Malhavoc nor White Wolf are so prestigious that it's [i]worth[/i] signing over rights to your PI. At all. [i]Ever[/i]. [/opinion] Or maybe I'm just an anti-fanboy. :lol: [/QUOTE]
