[QUOTE="ced1106, post: 8634429, member: 7551"] Good points, all. I've been a reviewer on RPG.net for a few decades. I'll add to suggest a target audience. I'm writing a review on Loke Battlemat's "Big Book of Battle Mats, Volume III", which is spiral-bound. Well, not every gamer likes spiral-bound. So, in the review, I'll mention the Loke "Adventure Series" box, which has loose foldout-maps. (ObPlug: Loke has a KS on May 24th for two boxed sets if you like them foldouts!) On the offchance any of you are reviewing miniatures, similar to "play the adventure", paint the miniature. Rate the difficulty (eg. suitable for beginning painters), but give painting tips. And don't forget to discuss mold lines and other prep. And, especially for RPG aids, don't forget to suggest additional ways to use the accessory! Image cards for RPG's are great starting points for worldbuilding games, such as Powered by Apocalypse. Loke also has a Combat Twists card set, that includes Wild Magic, suitable to for miscellaneous magic items, even though the cards don't explicitly say so. Suggest how to use 3rd party products with standard ones a gamer may have (eg. D&D products). [/QUOTE]
