Hi
I see that there are very few new DMods always.
I have an idea:
A person or group could show a project preliminaryly, with its plot, characters etc, and put a price for its development, for example, US$ 100, 150, 200 etc., then people could say if they agree to donate money, for example, US$ 2, 5, 10 etc., when the project is finished.
Then the game is send to the donators when it is ready,
and the money send to the developers, and after some time (some months) it could be, or must be, put it downloadable for all people.
This could be a good manner to see more games.
What do you people think about it?
Have you guys another way to promote new games? Write here please.

What about the people who are too young to have a credit card or too lazy to fill out an application?
what about those of us who have low incomes and no credit rating so we can't get a credit card,eh?
OR those of us going to universit... er... Sorry, didn't see that carrie.
Would you honestly pay for the d-mods we produce?
Because if you would, I can easily see you living in the streets one day, having spent all your money on magic beans.

Sure I could pay 
for DMODS like Stone of Balance or Cicles of Evil, but not others like the ones you (Sabretrout) have made, because they are bads, and I do not pay for bad made things.

The original Dink Smallwood game is out for more than 5 years. And here is a list of all the D-Mods produced and released in that period of time. If you in particular were gonna rate the D-Mods that you're willing to pay for, it's only gonna be a handful of D-Mods. Maybe 5. That's basically 1 good D-Mod a year, provided they're equally spred. Now, that renders the whole thing useless. If only a bare few authors are good enough to contribute to a D-Mod you'd pay for, what's the community spirit in this? 
One other thing. How would you know if it was bad before you bought it?
Maybe people could pay a monthly fee to access the list, then whoever wins the DOTY keeps the money made that year. (No, I don't actually believe this is a good idea)

I think I may cry. I thought my d-mods were of such professional quality that you would be happy to pay to play them. In fact, I can't believe anybody would be stupid enough not to pay for one of my d-mods.
The wit in my d-mods surpasses that of Monty Python, of Douglas Adams, and of Ricky Gervais. Their philisophical messages make Sartre look like a small, stupid, extremely pessimistic Kant.
My literary style and verve even puts the British tabloids to shame! Shakespeare himself would goes into fits of joy upon reading my magnificent prose.
How could you dare suggest they aren't worth buying?

Sabre! Curb your excessive modesty! Your dmods are not only the best thing since sliced bread, they are actually superior to sliced bread. In fact, they may be the pinnacle of Western Civilization. How dare you dang them with faint praise!
