Funny Email From a Publisher re. Reviews

[2WS-Steve]

The other way to make the content fit the cover would be to include a bit more "Heathcliffe crushed Rebecca to his heaving hairy chest and ravished her with his probing lips" in the text...

Ugh, couldn't you have used a different male name, Steve? Now my sick, depraved mind is picturing icky cartoon kitty love...

I would cheer if my National Geo had a cool Heavy Metal cover on it.

Sigh. You would.

Just for that: Die Vecna Die sux! So there.

A review shouldn't ignore cost of the item. Wether a consumer is happy with a purchase is often based upon what they paid for it and if they feel it was a good value at that price.

This doubly applies to d20 products! O:

With publishers of different scale in the d20 market, you can get some books with a lot of content and little content (information, hours of game play, whatever) differing by only one or two dollars. (At least in adventures, which compete for both time **and** money, I've noticed this.) Sure, quality is important, but when a consumer sees Product A costing 10% less than Product B, someone has to warn them when Product A has 50% less... product! If it's not the reviewer, who should it be?
