Eventually this will get you and your work a reputation, and either by itself or through also submitting to open calls (PF Society, RPG superstar, etc) and magazines (Kobold Quarterly, etc) you'll get some publishing credit to your name.I have no idea how I compare to anyone else, but it took about two or three years from first posting stuff online till I managed to get something into the print Dragon and Dungeon, and since then stuff for Paizo, KQ, etc. I didn't really approach it from a goal of getting in print at first - I just put stuff out because it was fun and I needed a creative outlet while I was in grad school. But it did work.And on a slight tangent, I'd be really curious to see what approaches various other folks took to get published, how long it took, etc - both for folks on my scale of things, and big names doing this full time professionally, etc.</blockquote>
