I've been playing and designing games of several kinds since childhood, including dabbling in tabletop RPG writing/design. So I hear you. I'd love to know if your experience was with your own original RPG or did you just work on adventures/expansions for other systems (D&D, etc)? I once took a shot at writing and publishing a GURPS compatible adventure, independently, and gave up because SJG either forebade it or simply made it too annoying. And that was the "final straw" beyond already knowing that my total hourly ROI for the project almost certainly would have been bad. Far too bad for a craft that takes such a rare and above-average set of intellectual skills. However I was "lucky" also to have been programming since childhood, and that is one field that historically does pay well for one's time.
