If people only reviewed what they had run
Calender days/years how long does it to run a WotC hardback? Ive never tried.

Well, as you know, totally depends on the group etc.Calender days/years how long does it to run a WotC hardback? Ive never tried.
Interesting example, as I've converted and run this one without ever realizing it was supposed to be a Dark Sun adventure!To take an extreme example, there's no way I'm ever going to run Marauders of the Dune Sea, because it has a stream in it. Only people who don't care it has a stream in it would be able to run it and write reviews. And people who don't care that a Dark Sun adventure has a stream in it are not going to write reviews that I would find helpful.
Now you've got me wondering how I could run MotDS in an Eberron campaign, and actually get some use out of the darn thing, so thank you.Interesting example, as I've converted and run this one without ever realizing it was supposed to be a Dark Sun adventure!
And this is worth considering in a broader sense: not everyone is looking at a product with the specific intent of using it exactly the way the designer intended. With MotDS, for example, had I consulted reviews beforehand I wouldn't care whether it was a good module for Dark Sun. I'd be looking to find out whether it's a good module AT ALL. A review that got hung up on the existence of the stream and ignored most else would be kinda useless to me.
So, if running a game in order to write a review was a full time job, that would be 4 weeks after release.
All reviews are opinions, and rarely have little basis in objective useful facts.
Said better than I did.Um... Given that the experience of the game is not an objective thing... objective facts won't be that useful in determining if the game product will be fun for you. The reviewer's subjective opinon is the thing that's valuable and useful.
