That would be good actually - Though I doubt that it would be possible - Whereas
free PBMs (to a small extent) and also the large-scale Computer Games are killing
Pay-To-Play PBM off in quite a considerable way I can't see it working.

PBMs are run for the love of it and there are a lot of GMs (including the Wyvern
boys and girls) who have gainful employment elsewhere sufficient that they can
treat their GMing as a Hobby rather than a source of income
*I work for a large Bank in Nottingham UK.
*Roy works Tech Support for a large PC Firm when he's not skiving
*Melv works for the Council insulting people on Council Estates
*Mark is a student which is gainful in that he gets a grant to pay for his Beer
Which means that all four of us come home from a hard day at work and actually
devote our time relaxing and writing fantasy and scifi for total strangers - weird

Granted this is sad for those wanting to make money, but times change and I think
that the Internet is exposing a lot more like-minded people to the idea of 'why
pay?'

To finish, I think that comparing a Free meal to a sought-after Free PBM is a
little foolish as it makes MadCentral seem somehow bitter that people don't want
to pay to play their games. Granted they're probably good, but does that make Free
PBMs inversely good? Doubt it looking at our own setup.
