[QUOTE="Napftor, post: 3462605, member: 617"] I don't have much to add here beyond what my esteemed colleagues have already stated except to recommend Adamant Entertainment as a publisher. AE stands out since it already produces piratey goodness and is a premiere vendor at RPGNow. In addition, you mentioned having someone publish it and then selling where you want. Be prepared to take a back seat in this regard. In all likelihood, the publisher will happily produce your book in pdf form and then sell it at the sites he deals with already. You will then be given a percentage of the net sales. Since you state that you have free artwork ready, you may be able to negotiate for a larger cut of that percentage. Just my opinion. And absolutely keep those corebooks away from the computer! Only use the SRD and open content from other publishers. You say you've looked at other pirate-themed books. Don't be afraid to adopt and adapt some bit of OGC that you think fits well with your own book. Make it the best it can be; that's what the OGL is all about. [/QUOTE]
