To Write or Not to Write: The Fantasy Heartbreaker

Ahh, the Fantasy Heartbreaker. Most game designers I know have one in their head, and I realized today that I do too. This is a bit annoying, but as I think more and more on it I want to write it more and more. Not necessarily the "perfect" fantasy RPG - because I think that's a subjective concept and impossible to accomplish. But what a game that is ideal for me.

So, I'm considering actually taking a crack at writing one. I've got an outline and am basing it heavily on Swords & Wizardry WhiteBox - including using a lot of material from my previously published work, along with several house rules I don't think are broad or substantial enough to publish publically.

More over, in writing such a thing should I keep it a kind of private game or actually put it up for sale through Barrel Rider Games? Am I foolish? A madman? Is this a fool's errand? What are your thoughts and feeling, my dear blog-readers?
