[QUOTE="jasper, post: 8865029, member: 277"] How many of those 5 stars reviews have more that one sentence saying best product every. I give my wife's products four or five stars reviews but no written reviews. 1589 reviews 93 written reviews 5 stars 345 reviews 45 written reviews 4 stars 170 reviews 36 written reviews 3 stars 112 reviews 52 written reviews 2 stars 92 reviews 55 written reviews 1 stars "... but the boat dynamics are so awesome to have." 5 stars what boat dynamics? "i have literally never gotten a package so fast before. blew my mind! ordered it one day and it showed up the next day at 6 so it only took like 12-14 hours to deliver or something crazy like that! i didnt even order it with fast shipping! also the book is incredible! art is some of the best ive seen in those books! just happy in general!" " 5 stars because I've waited seemingly forever for spelljammer to be updated. Much of what I've known and loved is back. Unfortunately, the book that i would expect to really be the foundation of the whole thing, the adventure's guide, is only 64 pages. It gets the gist across, but it might be difficult for some one who isn't familiar with the original material to know what to do. More space for ship mechanics amd setting would have beem nice. Still, 5 stars because i love spelljammer and i want them to publish more material." ".. If you are doing ship to ship combat, I would highly recommend doing it as "Theater of the Mind".
