Again, what you are describing is not a review, but rather a session report. IF you care about things like encounter balance then a session report may be of use, but, otherwise, 99% of what a DM needs in a review can come from a read-through. The problem with adventures is not "how they will...

I strongly disagree, even though I'm quite late to the party. A review, based on play, is not an actual review. They tend to be more of a session report. My group did this. My DM did things this way. We had fun. Nice, maybe some tips, but not a review. Is your DM any good? Did Bob loose his job...

I had an Ares Magazine subscription in 1982, when TSR took them over. It was converted to an RPGA/Polyhedron membership. I was issued a number. I wonder if it's possible to recover that number? Some kind of support within the DCI program that could help with this? It also sounds ridiculous to...

Jim Kramer is the guy behind Usherwood Publishing. Several of his adventures appear on my Best & Regerts list, including Arachnaphobia and most his Bone Hilt campaign series. He does EXCELLENT maps and, doing layout for a living, his layouts are top notch. He’s a behind the scenes guy, doing...

I, also, will be following along. ;) Dungeon suffered from a lot of things that still seem to plague the adventure industry today. It went through it's "Story Games" mode of scene-based railroads ala Giovanni Chronicles. It also suffered, I think, from very poor editing. Not copy-editing but...

I run an adventure review blog. Most adventures, including 5e stuff, are terrible. MT Black's stuff is generally better than most. You might also check out Death House, a free download from WOTC, for levels 1-3. It's a creepy haunted house. "The Marionette" was also a decent adventure for...

This will be long. I beg your understanding for my verbosity hypocrisy; this is the product of four years work. I have now reviewed every adventure in every print issue of Dungeon Magazine. I started in August of 2013, after spending several months locating issues. It was a herculean effort and...

Not that I know of. But Stan Shin has a converter table/sheet that works well. I just cut out the table and taped it to my screen. You oculd also print out his reference sheet and do the conversion ahead of time. http://swshinn.com/dnd-5e/5e-to-1e-combat-tracker/

I might instead select something newer: Demonspore. You'd be supporting small press authors working now, as opposed to a 35 year old published work. In addition, it's one of the best supplement produced in recent years. Here's a review: http://tenfootpole.org/ironspike/?p=645 The gnomes of...

You could also do it the way Lamentations of the Flame Princess handles the Summon spell. You're rolling the dice on a disaster happening every time you summon.

5 out of 5 rating for Maze of the Blue Medusa by Patrick Stuart & Zak Sabbath Satyr Press Fantasy RPG’s Level: 1-4 if you’re smart. 5-10 if not. Infinite broken night. Milky alien moons. Wavering demons of gold. Held in this jail of immortal threats are three perfect sisters… Known then that...

Hmmm, I wish I knew, which is why I posted it the way I did. :) What's the usual timeline between submitting a new product and it being in a state that someone can "rate it" or "write your own" ? And/or are there any additional kbobs regarding submitted feedback when you submit a new product?

Ah, but what if there's not a product to go to? That's what I mean by an item having to be in the book/item/product database first. You go in and add an item and then once it's in the system you can then go add a review. That's no different than a couple of other sites. But there's something...

If I understand things correctly: an entry in to your book/item database must be submitted first prior to a review being posted. Several forums do this, such as rpggeek, but it's not exactly the most friendly system, particularly in the form seen here on ENworld. I FEEL actively discouraged...
