Message: <blockquote data-quote="Staffan" data-source="post: 8499665" data-attributes="member: 907">I remember looking at the contract provided for selling things on the DM's Guild, and I remember it talking about the payout to the writer being in the form of royalties. I don't know if it's the same on the regular sites or if that's a particular construct for the DM's Guild, and I can't get to the publisher agreement without signing up as a publisher. But at least to me, royalties indicate something different than the traditional sales model. Royalties sounds to me like OBS is the formal creator/publisher of the thing, and they're paying the actual creator for the privilege of publishing it. In the traditional sales model, a publisher makes a thing, sells it to a distributor who sells it to a retailer, and eventually it gets sold to a customer (hopefully). It sounds like that might be the angle TSR is going for.</blockquote>
