[QUOTE="PatrickLawinger, post: 104479, member: 2735"] Waylander, based on your presumptions the reviewer in question should really be working for Mongoose. Basically, he hasn't given anything he reviewed less than a 4/5. Whether from Troll Lords, Mongoose, or someone else. Some reviewers aren't overly critical, some simply don't like to give bad reviews and don't write reviews of the items they don't like. In any case, you obviously don't agree with his reviews. So, don't use them. A majority of the reviews on the ENWorld site are written by FANS. In other words, someone that loves the latest module they got writes about it, or someone that HATES the latest module they got writes about it, etc. A vast number of internet sites post reviews of d20 material. Search these for reviews of items you already own. Find reviews written by a reviewer that tends to agree with your opinion and hope their bias is similar to yours. I would suggest looking at Alan Kohler's reviews. He has been reviewing RPG items for a very long time for rpg.net as well as ENWorld. He gives detailed, and I believe, fair reviews.
