David Foley and Ultracade, wow. Like Dude said, I make my table for myself, and share them with anyone who wants them for free. But I'm at least as curious as anyone else about what Foley might be willing to pay, so i wrote and told him about the bagatelle, flipperless, originals, and counter top games I've made. I was a bit surprised when he wrote back and said he was interested.
So I'm going to send him some SS, two of my tables, and a list of tables I've made, and a list of druadic's stuff too. Not that I ever expect Foley to offer enough money, and it would have to be Up Front, for me to allow him to use any of my work, but I want to see exactly what he offers, and how honest his dealings are.
Would I ever agree to let him use my work? Well, I am on a fixed income, and I could use the money, so I'll have to see. If he would only be interested in a few tables, and offer only chump change, no way. But if he was willing to pay for all my work, and the amount was sizable, I'd have to think about it.
So in reality, since I'm sure there's no way Foley will offer my big enough dollars so that after splitting with Patrick and my other co-authors, the answer is no. But in contacting him, I'll be able to see first hand what kind of person he is. All told, I'll send him a list of between 100 and 150 tables. If he offers 50 cents a table, no sale. Now if he offers $$$ a table, then I'll at least be tempted.
Want to guess how much he'll offer, if he offers anything? I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get rich quick dealing with Foley and Ultrracade, and getting rich slowly has no appeal to me at all. I'll let you all know what he has to say, and offer. Sure, loads of cash, all up front. Now if you believe that, I've got some swamp land . . . I'm at least willing to listen to what he has to say,
