> Now, depending upon where BDS is right now, Jon would have to

(much snippage)

I see five options: a) Jon does all the work, keeps all the money b) Mr..
Lister does all the work, Jon keeps all the money, Lister gets his name on the
cover c) as b but Jon pays a one time flat fee d) as b but Jon pays a
percentage of the profit e) combination of c and d

On the one hand, the more titles you have out, the more income potential there
is (ie Jon's chances are better to sell 1 each FT, MT, FB, FB2, than 4 FT
books). On the other hand, you can't put out titles too quickly or you'll
overload your audience. The gripping hand is, if new titles come out in
several interest areas ( say a FT book, then a book for the groundpounders,
the Full Metal Codpiece, then Fleet Thrust, then another SG2 book, then Full
Metal Chainmail Bikini, then Full Metal Hero: the RPG, and so forth)....

Of course, all of this _is_ rather moot... it's up to Jon. <big cheesy
grin>

Of course, we can all dreaaaaaaaaaaam of what we want..:)

> On the one hand, the more titles you have out, the more income

I agree with the above. I vote we take away Jon's Real Life (TM) and chain him
to his desk to ensure he completes all tasks we set for him.:)

On a more serious note.. there's plenty of websites about (<plug> Unofficial
Stargrunt II Web Site http://stargrunt.virtualave.net </plug>) with
rules additions, changes and ideas etc for all three systems. The whole basis
of the GZG line is the ability to do with it as you will.

Are we regressing to our childhood need for the newest and latest "Official
You-Beaut You-Must-Have-This-To-Play-The-Game-Or-Else"? :-)

There's also plenty of ideas out there that haven't yet been birthed. Let's
induce a few of them, shall we?
