What is the idea here -- to publish gaming materials or be a club for writers? Quote:

Doug didn't say you did - he was relating his personal experience. Which is with Stephen Marsh and Pyramid articles.

And when you tar generically and ignorantly (by your own admission) the company broadly, it's not a strawman for me to point out that, in personal experience, the two people most involved with the proposal vetting process are quite flexible indeed. You say "in this case, flexibilty is elusive," but you don't know that. You just know you're not getting what you want, and you want them to change their business practices in what is already a limited profitability market to suit your idea of what a good product is. You say my comment about Dan's writing is "speculation." Well, perhaps, but based on this comment: Quote:
Why don't you propose an "everything but armor" supplement for Low Tech, go through the process, and write a supplement? You seem to have the fire in your belly for it, you're convinced it will sell, and you'd learn a few things about the people you're taking tangential swipes at along the way. And before you say "why doesn't Doug go do this himself?" Perhaps I have. Certainly it's known that I've written for SJG before in Pyramid, and that there was a thread about Alternate GURPS that more than hinted that I'd proposed something to Steven that he was looking at favorably. I DID try writing a Black Ops adventure for e23 in maybe 2004, which went through the wringer and got dropped. I defend their process because I've been through it, and it does not resemble what you claim.

Re: [DF] Basic Set, Low Tech or Bruno's Armor?
I think that's called 'experience'. It's not something we can plug into a algorithm (yet).
