This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

A question about settings.

Quote from: joewolzSay your favorite system were to do a line of settings, each roughly 128 pages and black and white art.

The line would be simply settings, designed around or for a certain game system, but not supplemented.

So basically a line of one-shot settings.

How would that do in today's marketplace?

By and large, you've just described more than a decade's worth of GURPS sourcebooks. So, yes, I think that there is a market for such things.

{Note: I know that GURPS setting books have some rules, but the space dedicated to descriptive text usually outweighs the space dedicated to mechanics.]
