I've been following the discussions on how to create a startup game company
for some time--as I would like to get in the business as well. And you guys
have been great to answer stuff for us newbies. Thanks a bunch! I was
wondering if you guys mind if I created a FAQ-type web page for would-be d20
companies that incorporates some of the wisom you guys have passed on
through this list? In that way, when someone asks something that you have
already answered before, you could just point them to the page. Of course,
if the info hasn't been covered, they could return to the list and ask.
What are your thoughts on this?
