Are reviews of older books useful?

[BigFreekinGoblinoid]

Yes, but not quite as valuable as newer books.

Well, it is a different thing, and its the thing I'm going to do. But I imagine that the books I'm reviewing and the books people wwould like to se reviewed might not be in the same grouping.

The first older book is from two years ago, Sacred Ground. Atlas put the book out and frankly I don't have a single book from Atlas that I've ever regreted purchasing. Usually they cover aresa that still aren't being covered and they did it with high wuality. Some of their rules might have been clumbsy but they had some creative writers. I wept the day they left d20.

Woah, when did they stop doing D20 System? Wow, between them and FFG, that just about eliminates my D20 System print purchases--all that's left [for me] is Goodman Games, Arcana Unearthed, B5 D20, and the occasional Green Ronin purchase. It was Atlas that got me over my aversion to D20 System in the first place, and if not for them, i probably never would've given the rest of the D20 System market a fair shake. And thus have more money in my pocket right now. ;-)

Anyway, i agree with you on the Atlas products--my friends who actively run D20 System preferentially have just about everything they've published, and i, someone who doesn't care much for D20 System, nonetheless have quite a few of them.
