[QUOTE="Great Mastiff Games, post: 1840293, member: 25783"] Ah, yes, and about the support ... I'm rather in a cleft stick there, too. I have enough material in my head for several dozen sourcebooks at least to back up and expand on the setting, adventure modules, etc. However, the problem is that I'm the only writer for the company at the moment, thanks to monetary constraints. So I have to decide if I want to spend all my time writing those sourcebooks, on the theory that I might make some money from them, or wait to see if I sell any of the main book while I use that time to do other work that will allow me to eat, wear clothes, and live indoors ;) ... So it's kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don't. If I don't write the sourcebooks up, then people may not buy the original book either. If I do write up the sourcebooks, then I'm gambling everything on their producing sales -- and if they don't, then I'm REALLY up the creek, because I won't have any money for even the minimum necessities. Like I said, I'm describing the whole situation here, just to see if anyone has any ideas/input to offer. After all, I seem to be at a complete nonplus as far as expanding my sales goes, so I have nothing to lose by being frank about the situation. Thanks again! :D [/QUOTE]
