When doing a review, I comment on the quality of the product and leave it to the reader to decide if it is a good value for their gaming purposes. It just seems to work better that way, given that people have differing opinions of what makes a game a good value. I don't have any system that I would call my favourite, but I do have a few systems that I'm very familiar with and tend to use them more because of that. I don't have a dislike for any particular system. I enjoy trying out new systems as much as I can and for the most part I think that a lot of systems work fine. Some just shine more in certain game types. I like PDFs a lot. I think over past year about half of all of my RPG purchases hae been PDF. I don't like buying core books in PDF ,unless I already have the print version, because it is hard on the eye to read 300 page book on my laptop. I like the PDF version so I can search it and print out the chargen or charts for players. Shorter supplements make up most of what I buy for PDFs. Ones that i can print out cheaply if I want. PDF is also good for those that live nowhere near a gaming store and shipping cost are high making print books unaffordable.  Mutant typeos and bad editing will lose points with me. I'm willing to overlook a few mistakes, but if the book looks like it was run through a spell checker and then printed, I will be all over it. Mechanical issues tend to get me a little more irritated. A game should be very well playtested be for it is published and the rules should be clearly written. If the game lacks clear rules and/or mechanical problems I will make it known. I'm married, but we have no kids. We are both very healthy so I don't see any issues there. My job is Monday through Friday no weekends or holidays and I can work pretty much any hours I want. Keep what I like. Maybe donate some to ENworld auctions or something. I think sometime in the next year we will be told what the plans for 4e are. RingoWell, I  like character generators, maping software, and all those types of things. I think as time goes on D&D will become more software oriented. Right now, I would say that minis are more important to most gamers than software. For me, software is more important since I typically don't use minis when I play D&D, though I do enjoy playing a totally 3D dungeon once in a while.  I'me greedy like a dwarf, will get  no kek or gold from me.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I just finished up a Burning Empires mini campaign this week.  Other games I played over the past year have been:NebuleonRoma ImperiousAD&D 2edD&D 3.5Hero SystemSavage WorldsA Game of ThronesGURPsVampire (OWoD)Hard Nova IIFUDGEand a few one shots as well.</blockquote>
