It's a simple as that.There is always a glut of writers in the RPG industry - or at least a glut of people who think they can write. But only a very few can make a living from it - and even they don't earn all that much.Why should any RPG company hire you at the going rate for a professional RPG writer when they don't know if you can write a professional product on time?And if you can do that, and have a list of products to back it up, why don't you write for print products in the first place? After all, most publishers of print RPG products have far more money than those who limit themselves to PDF sales.Really, if you want to start out in the PDF publishing industry as a writer, you have little leverage in demanding higher pay.And anyway, what are you doing in the RPG industry if you want to earn money?   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Actually, this implies that the supplier can sell his raw materials elsewhere for a higher price, and that there aren't dozens, if not hundreds of other suppliers out there who are willing to sell at lower prices.If they indeed exist, you can bet that they pick their writers very carefully. First-timers probably don't need to apply...</blockquote>
