If a company does poorly, I wouldn't be compelled to get any more of their products, now would I?If you spend money sending me a product, providing a review in a timely manner is the least I can do. I explicitly don't promise good ratings for reviews just because of gratis products. That would be a conflict of interest.I do occasionally review products I buy for myself if I think the release is significant and the product is not getting enough press or I feel the existing press is misleading. For example, I put up a review of Monster's Handbook because I feel it is a great book that nobody else had review, and I put up a less glowing CoC d20 review because I felt that the hype over it ignored some weaknesses in the product. In the case of BoVD, I think the hype is fairly accurate. I do find that the book does have some useful and interesting material, but some of it offensive, low-brow, and uninspired. It's a fairly good book, but a little pricey for the size.</blockquote>
