[QUOTE="PatrickLawinger, post: 843023, member: 2735"] I was unimpressed by Mr. Ward's column and the "veiled venom" as some have put it. I have seen numerous reviews panning FFE products that said exactly why the reviewer didn't like them, giving examples. I have also seen numerous reviews pointing out OGL/SRD problems. If Mr. Ward actually read reviews calmly without getting upset at not getting a 5/5 or 10/10 then maybe he could have solved some of the rules and legal problems people complained about. Then maybe, just maybe, they could have avoided shredding 4 books. I find it suspect that he directs his venom at reviewers soon after having to shred books for SRD/IP/Copyright violations. I have seen a number of well-written and possibly overly-kind (my opinion) reviews of FFE products. I would never rate the few products I have seen anything above 3, and I doubt that high. I have heard that some of their rules problems improved, but frankly, I don't forsee ever trying them out. Patrick [/QUOTE]
