Putting Out a Sloppy Game

Howdy out there, Okay -- look, I have a dilemna. I have all sorts of old game projects sitting around on my computer hard drive. Some of them, I am sure somebody would get a kick or inspiration from. Others are probably trashed. Unfortunately, some of these I don't want to finish. They are in semi-finished state, though, not too bad - definitely playable. So what should I do? Should I plop them in PDF form and give them away for free? Should I punch my nose and work on them until I feel they are at least decent enough to sell on rpgnow.com? Or should I just get a new hobby? I don't want a sloppy game to reflect badly upon me, but at the same time, should I even care about that? I don't plan on making much money from my projects, but I would sure like to make an occasional $20 here or there for pizza money. *sigh* What do I do? Any advice, encouragement, and/or ranting is welcomed. Thanks, Nathan Nathan Hill http://www.mysticages.com/ http://www.gamingoutpost.com/
