But he should go through a lesson on "conflict of interest" sometimes.I was unaware that he had any affiliation with Troll Lord games. I do know that he has playtested for Mongoose and consistently rates Mongoose products highly. I have gone on record as saying I do not think playtesters or employees of a company should be writing reviews for their own products. Being a playtester writing a review of a product (which in your own opinion was subject to the best scrutiny, right?) is not unbiased.I think if these sorts of things are even allowed, there should be a check box like RPGnet has, self identifying yourself as an affiliate of the company so at least your rating isn't lumped in with the average.</blockquote>
