[QUOTE="Zak S, post: 7735028, member: 90370"] The physical production of LotFP books is better. James prints with a local printer in Finland and produces books that are immediately more impressive than EH or Green Ronin's. As for the art and writing: if you would like to argue that, even though in recent years LotFP is doing way better than EH or Green Ronin in terms of awards given both by fan vote and industry-insiders, they are actually giving us better art and writing, I'm happy to concede that this is ultimately a matter of taste. However: the only book by either of them I've ever even [I]heard[/I] praised for art or writing content is DC Adventures, which uses art from DC Comics. If there's buzz about the quality of the work from these publishers (rather than buzz just about people liking the base systems published years ago) then that is news to me. If you want to say they are actually doing great, innovative work: ok. But until now I was unaware this was any part of your argument. If that is the impression you had of my pov, then I apologize for not being clear. That is not the idea I meant to express. I meant to express the idea that if it [B]is[/B] the Green Ronin/Evil Hat model it necessarily [B]is[/B] wrong. My comments were about LotFP as compared to some conspicuously successful companies (Evil Hat's sales figures and profits were released by the owner, Green Ronin has its DC book in every local game store I've seen) who pay subpoverty wages. Any reference to companies outside that situation (successful indie, published other people, subpoverty wages) is outside the scope of the thing I came to this thread to point out. If you would like to discuss some other companies besides these companies I am referring to, that is a separate discussion. [/QUOTE]
