D20 Reviews

[JustaPlayer]

So, I went to the review section of the site and saw a review of HARP. Correct me if I'm wrong but the site is 20 Reviews right? So why HARP, and why WoD? As ENworld losses it's focus at what it's been so good at in the past, I find myself wanting to find another place to frequent. After all, I wouldn't go to a GURPS Review site to see reviews on Monster Manual 3.

I think you should stick to D20 and D20 based OGL.

I feel differently. I like to see ENWorld slightly broaden its horizon. I don't think we ever have to worry about this site becoming as generic as RPG.net. However, the fact that there is occasional discussion of other systems, and now occasional reviews of said, it makes the site even more useful and exciting.

En World is not loosing its focus, but there are people here who know and are esperts in other systems. ITs not like Morrus is shutting this place down and re opening it as a general RPG site. Its a d20 site that does ignore that there are other systems out there or forbid them from being mentioned.

This has already been covered in the META forum (where I suspect this thread will be moved shortly).

I like the non-d20 reviews, HOWEVER, I strongly feel that they should be segregated from the d20 reviews in some manner - maybe a seperate front page for the reviews page from the standard reviews page... like just adding a link to the current list of latest reviews that links to a 'latest non-d20 reviews'.

Then the semantics get into it - non-d20 products that are specifically d20-based or compliant would still go with the d20 reviews (Mutants & Masterminds, OGL Mongooseness, etc).

I'm not sure what the problem is. If you're not interested in Harp and WoD, then you don't have to read the review. Having something in existence on ENWorld that you won't read is not a problem, is it? And if you are interested, then you can read it, which is presumably also okay.

I think the primary problem is that ENWorld wants to keep out the riff-raff from RPG.net

Three great quotes in ONE post! Gotta love Crothian. You need to slow down a bit there buddy...

Definietly a Meta topic ( and one that I have already shared my feelings on ), but I think it's kind of strange how the site hosts reviews based on print VS .pdf no matter what the game system is...

Now THIS man knows his stuff.

Frankly, I like the idea of getting more for my stops at ENWorld. I don't see why some non-d20 stuff can't slip though. In my opinion, ENWorld is the leader in RPG materials and discussion and like having more options.
