I own PDFGames.com if that helps with anyone creating such a site I'm open to letting them use it.I could see maybe some sort of independent (eg not publishers) board of judges that help rank publishers and products. Then at least the people in the top spots there could brag about it or at least the top half ranked could use it to gain the trust of customers.Still, I'm sure there are going to be plenty of publishers who would also hate this idea. Plus I can see that most of the GOOD product is already selling GOOD and so patting them on the back helps the industry in what way? Helps sales in  what way? What we need is to draw attention to good product from first time publishers.Also, I don't think a d20 only slant is the way to go. Only half the product on RPGNow is d20 and I don't wish to alientate the others.In summary I think there is a need/desire for a community portal that helps rank publishers/products that is driven by a staff/board of non-publishers. Digital RPG does a reasonably good job of displaying new products - but it doesn't help highlight good stuff or warn of bad stuff. It also is driven/run by the publishers themselves.<a href="http://www.electronicd20.com" target="_blank">http://www.electronicd20.com</a> was trying to be a d20 PDF review site, but the people running it disapeared. I own the domain if someone wants to continue it...James</blockquote>
