To borrow an old joke from another industry...   How do you make a small fortune in the Gaming industry?   Start with a big one...   ;-)   -Brad -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Bradley McMillan Sent: Monday, February 12, 2001 7:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ogf-d20-l] Would-be d20 authors? IMO, anyone who feels like they are out of their league on this list feels so because they are insecure, inexperienced, or ignorant, or are too careless to try to improve themselves.  When I feel that way here it is usually for one of those reasons...  insecure about my abilities, inexperienced in the business, ignorant about the truth, and careless with the information I do have.  I don't mean those words as insults, but if you want to exchange ideas with a group of people.... all I was trying to say was... why not try to address the people who have proven in _some_ capacity that they are competent?     This probably falls under the ignorance category, but one of the main obstacles I see in putting together a small company is capital. I've seen you people throw out a ton of great ideas, and you've all been very helpful in outlining what it takes to be successful. Most of what gets discussed requires funds, though (get a lawyer, printing, advertising, etc.). How do people deal with that issue? What options do you have (or is starving and pouring your personal funds into the project the only viable option)? I'm curious to hear people's opinions on this.   Brad McMillan
