Maybe the more basic question is: how many rpg game designers can do so full time?
Presumably Modiphius, Free League, Mongoose, Monte Cook, maybe Cubicle 7 have some full time designers. Paizo certainly does.
For a lot of other ones--ones you have heard of--the full time people, if any, are on the business side. At points fairly prominent people in the industry, like Wolfgang Baur and Chris Pramas, have had day jobs. Its not just that Canadian librarian.
