I don't think it makes sense to force a Realm Works GM to do extensive re-writing on a PDF just to make sure every instance of Player / GM snippets are 100% correct. It's important, sure. But it's MORE important to have adventures in the Content Market to begin with.
I couldn't agree more. Let's hope that Rob will too.

I just bought the Rise of the Runelords package. It's not all how I would have entered it, but it saved me so much time it's worth it.

I'm still hoping they resume development, and I'm voting with my $$$ to say so.

Since they've publicly stated that should they go out of business on some horrible future date, that the servers would be unlocked so we could use existing realms and create new ones...

With that, I'm confident in purchasing anything from the Content Market that I'd actually use.

My largest hesitation is Bestiary sources, which were my primary interest a while back. That is because my Realm Works cannot integrate an existing (stored in RW) portfolio into either the 32-bit or 64-bit versions of Hero Lab (classic), as of 8.9x versions of Hero Lab.

Realm Works is still an amazing tool, at what it does. I bought it, post kickstarter, based on what it could do as demonstrated by Joshua Plunkett's assorted videos on YouTube.

I guess I was expecting too much for Rob to respond.

I love BJ, but unfortunately, she's not the one who can make that decision, Rob is. And I don't think DriveThru can sell or give away realms that are from Paizo or other companies copyright materials, which was my argument of why the Content Market should be kept alive.

The realms that are copyright by Paizo and other companies would still require proof that the PDF was purchased, which is already in place.
(Emphasis added.)

The Content Market is designed to ensure the copyright PDF is purchased BEFORE the realm is purchased. I'm not sure DriveThru is.

Reading the whole thread or at least the beginning does help in understanding the argument before contributing $.02 to it.

The downloads from DriveThru also won't be locked to a particular person's Realm Works account - thus, in theory, they could be shared without purchase.

Damn! I didn't even think about that. I doubt DriveThru would accept any realm from copyright materials. That means only homebrew materials would be available.

Rob, you need to seriously consider the suggestion! At the very least, it would bring in revenue. Give it a try; those of us who supported this project deserve at least that much.

Trying to sell a realm based on copyright material should be considered to be equivalent to someone trying to sell a PDF that contains a scanned copy of a regular book.
