SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Are there even any publishers who take submissions or pitches anymore?

I agree that those are good reasons to try and seek submissions although there are pros and cons to each avenue of publication...that's for another thread though.
It is unbecoming for young men to utter maxims.

Quote from: ancientgamerI guess the next question would be why do you want to submit to another company rather than go solo or with partners.

Because "being published" and "being a publisher" are two different things.   Most gamers want the first, and have no idea of what goes into the latter.

Much better to go with an existing publisher who knows the ins and outs of liasing with printers, soliciting through distributors, handling accounts receivable, shipping schedules, hiring freelancers, enacting marketing plans, planning and executing advertising, etc. etc. etc.

Kenzer and Co are always accepting submissions for Knights of the Dinner Table Magazine.  While not a game or supplement, it's a good place to start getting some freelance writing credits.  And they accept a wide range of articles, not necessarily attached to the systems they produce.

Halfway down on the right hand side is the section "Getting published in KODT".
"The difference between being fascinated with RPGs and being fascinated with the RPG industry is akin to the difference between being fascinated with sex and being fascinated with masturbation. Not that there\'s anything wrong with jerking off, but don\'t fool yourself into thinking you\'re getting laid." —Aos
