Interestingly, I know for a certainty that both of those companies provide review copies.

I think RPG reviews can work quite well. I've had many people tell me specifically that they bought Game X based on one of my reviews, and some reviews are pushing 10000 impressions. The big problem is that for every hard working, legitimate reviewer there are three or so who are just trying...

Paladin/Rogue Gestalt? That's quite the attribute spread - what are his attributes and areas of focus like? What are the character's goals?

That's one explanation, and there's no doubt that it became harder to find a 2E game after 3E just as will likely happen to 3E after 4E. Feeling like you 'wasted' money on all those books when the mechanics are no longer in demand isn't any fun. However, it could also be that a lot of folk...

That's an interesting idea, Jay! I think I would want some consistency in the movement so that I could easily plan my strategy before the dice hit the table, but I do like having the option of building faster (in a non-initiative sense) or slower characters. My only initial concern is that for...

When White Wolf announced the end of the old World of Darkness everyone knew *something* was going to be promptly forthcoming from such a large publisher. Sure enough, we got an entirely new World of Darkness to follow it up. And, at first, I wasn't so keen on that. I really enjoyed the WoD...

I've never had a great play experience with folk playing Kender. It's just too much chaos for my taste. I believe that just the name 'Kender' is likely to bring more chaos into my play experience, so I'm quite happy with leaving it 'Halfling' despite the changes.

Yeah, this isn't unusual. I published a review of Spirit of the Century before it shipped, for example. Maybe a button was just misclicked? It's easy enough to do in RPG.net's system, though I don't know how RPGnow reviews are setup.

I just want to say that this has been an extremely productive thread and I have dozens of great ideas to sort through - thanks! It's picking that's hard ;)

I didn't think the others were horrible. I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder.

In my play experience Gestalting is pretty huge. I'm not sure just being one level behind would work out. The Cleric/Wizard is a fine example. I know I would trade my latest spell level to also be able to cast entirely as a cleric. It's an even better deal than Mystic Theurge, by two levels...

So, I want a short game where the focus is on an invading army from another dimension. I'm probably channeling a little bit of Feist's Riftwar Saga here, and I imagine the army coming in through great portals rent in the world. The thing is that I'm just not sure what would make for a cool...

Ok, that's awesome, PC! Thanks for the morning smile :) I'd go with Dex - watching him leap around he always seems a little off. His Int is surprisingly high if you really watch the episodes - Kirk is often the character who figures out the solution to the current situation.

Sure thing, though you should still be able to read TRO (clearing cookies should do it). Below is the introductory post and the prize post, which will hopefully answer any questions. Various publishers are offering comped products in return for reviews. If you have any questions please don't...

A full list of the prizes being offered may be found here. From White Wolf to Evil Hat, there's something to interest everyone!

RPG.net is holding a Horror Review Week this October, and everyone's invited to participate. Prizes are being awarded for the best reviews, publishers are offering comped products for reviewing, and everyone stands to have a great time! All horror media related reviews are welcome, and as...

I have detailed reviews of the whole product line, if you're interested. Here's a link to my review of Dawning Star: Operation Quick Launch.

I would never have known this but for this post. I saw the subject (Update) and the first bit of text (Things shipped) and moved on. You may want to consider sending another email with a subject like (Your event locations are wrong).

They're still a PC race, as they have been. IIRC species animosity is not stress in Saga. You could certainly incorporate that into your game, however.

While I'm far removed, I have been paying a fair bit of attention and would like to share two observations that may help your chances: 1. When voting opens mobolize your local roleplaying community. Post to mailing lists, stop by the local forum, and call up your buddies. It's not like...
